Math Problem Statement

The function f(x) is invertible. Find f^-1(-6).

Solution

To find f1(6)f^{-1}(-6), we need to determine the value of xx such that f(x)=6f(x) = -6.

Since the function f(x)f(x) is invertible, there exists a unique value xx for which f(x)=6f(x) = -6.

The inverse function f1(x)f^{-1}(x) essentially reverses the operation of f(x)f(x). So, f1(6)=xf^{-1}(-6) = x if f(x)=6f(x) = -6.

To find the exact value of f1(6)f^{-1}(-6), I need more information about the function f(x)f(x). Can you provide the explicit form of f(x)f(x)?

Would you like to go into further details on this, or have any additional questions? Here are five related questions to consider:

  1. What steps are involved in finding the inverse of a function?
  2. How do you verify if a function is invertible?
  3. What are the general conditions for a function to have an inverse?
  4. How do you graphically interpret the inverse of a function?
  5. How do you apply the inverse function in real-world problems?

Tip: When working with inverse functions, always check the domain and range of the original function to ensure that the inverse function is well-defined.
