Math Problem Statement
let f(x)=1/x+15. Find the inverse
Solution
To find the inverse of the function , follow these steps:
-
Replace with :
-
Swap and (since we want to solve for the inverse):
-
Solve for :
- Subtract 15 from both sides:
- Take the reciprocal of both sides to isolate :
Thus, the inverse function is:
