inverse of g(x)=3x+4

Solution

To find the inverse of the function g(x)=3x+4g(x) = 3x + 4, follow these steps:

  1. Replace g(x)g(x) with yy:

    y=3x+4y = 3x + 4

  2. Swap xx and yy to find the inverse function:

    x=3y+4x = 3y + 4

  3. Solve for yy:

    x4=3yx - 4 = 3y

    y=x43y = \frac{x - 4}{3}

  4. Replace yy with g1(x)g^{-1}(x) to express the inverse function:

    g1(x)=x43g^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 4}{3}

So, the inverse of g(x)=3x+4g(x) = 3x + 4 is:

g1(x)=x43g^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 4}{3}

Tip: When finding the inverse of a function, make sure to swap the variables and solve for the new dependent variable to find the correct inverse function.
