What is the inverse of the function y - 2 = 3x?
Solution
To find the inverse of the function , we follow these steps:
-
Rewrite the function in terms of : Add 2 to both sides:
-
Swap and to find the inverse:
-
Solve for (the inverse function): Divide both sides by 3:
Thus, the inverse of the function is , which matches option C.
Answer: C
