Math Problem Statement
To find the inverse function f−1(x)f^{-1}(x)f−1(x) for f(x)=1x+15f(x) = \frac{1}{x} + 15f(x)=x1+15
Solution
To find the inverse of the function , follow these steps:
Step 1: Write the function as
Step 2: Solve for in terms of
First, subtract 15 from both sides to isolate the term involving : Now, take the reciprocal of both sides to solve for :
Step 3: Replace with to find
Thus, the inverse function is:
So, the inverse function is:
