Inverses

What's the name of the inverse of g(x)?

• f(x)
• f^-1(x)
• y
• g^-1(x)

What is the inverse of the function
f(x) = 2x + 4   ?

• f^-1(x) = 4(x -2)
• f^-1(x) = (x-4)/2
• f^-1(x) = x/2 - 4
• f^-1(x) = x/4 + 2

The inverse has been reflected over which line?

• y = x
• y =1
• y = 0
• y = x + 1

If the equation of f(x) goes through (1, 4) and (4, 6), what points does f^-1(x) go through?

• (1, 4) and (4, 6)
• (-4, -1) and (-6, -4)
• (-1, -4) and (-4, -6)
• (4, 1) and (6, 4)
