Math Problem Statement

Jika f(x) = 2x - 6 maka f^(-1)(x) = ...

Solution

The image shows a mathematical problem in Indonesian that translates to:

"If f(x)=2x6f(x) = 2x - 6, then f1(x)=f^{-1}(x) = ..."

To find the inverse of the function f(x)=2x6f(x) = 2x - 6, follow these steps:

  1. Replace f(x)f(x) with yy:
    y=2x6y = 2x - 6

  2. Swap xx and yy to find the inverse function:
    x=2y6x = 2y - 6

  3. Solve for yy:
    x+6=2yx + 6 = 2y
    y=x+62y = \frac{x + 6}{2}

  4. Replace yy with f1(x)f^{-1}(x):
    f1(x)=x+62f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 6}{2}

So, the inverse function is f1(x)=x+62f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 6}{2}.
