Find the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x - 4.

g(x) = 1/2x - 1/4
g(x) = 1/4x - 1/2
g(x) = 4x + 2
g(x) = 3x+2

Answer:

None of the options are correct, but I got g(x)=1/2x+2.

Explanation:

You start with the equation. You first need to change f(x) to y, and switch the x and y values. After this, your equation would be x=2y-4. Then, you need to icolate the y value, and to do that you first cancel out the four by adding it to both sides, and now your equation should be x+4=2y. The second step in icolating the y value is dividing everything in the equation by two. Now that the y is icolated, you equation should be y=1/2x+2. You then change the y to be g(x), and that's how I got my answer, g(x)=1/2x+2. You should ask your teacher about this, becuase from my calculations, none of the given responses would be correct. Sorry if that doesn't help you at all but yeah
