Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem shown in the image asks to find the inverse of the function .
Steps to find the inverse function:
-
Start with the function .
-
Swap and to find the inverse:
-
Solve for :
-
Multiply both sides by to get rid of the denominator:
-
Distribute on the left-hand side:
-
Add to both sides to isolate the term:
-
Divide both sides by to solve for :
-
This can be simplified to:
-
-
Therefore, the inverse function is:
Would you like further details on this solution, or do you have any questions? Here are some related questions that can help expand your understanding:
- What is the general process for finding the inverse of a function?
- How do you verify if the inverse function found is correct?
- How does the domain of the original function affect the inverse?
- What happens to the graph of a function when you find its inverse?
- What are some functions that do not have an inverse? Why?
Tip: Always remember that not all functions have inverses. A function must be one-to-one (pass the Horizontal Line Test) to have an inverse.
