Inverse Functions

Find the inverse of f(x) = -4x - 12

• f^-1(x) = 4x - 3
• f^-1(x) = -1/4x - 3
• f^-1(x) = 1/4x + 3
• f^-1(x) = -4x - 3

Find the inverse of
f(x) = 1/4x - 7

• f^-1(x) = 4x + 7
• f^-1(x) = -4x + 28
• f^-1(x) = -4x - 7
• f^-1(x) = 4x + 28

If f(x)=x+5, what is f^-1(x)?

• f(x)=(x + 5)²

• f(x)=x - 5

• f(x)=(x + 5)^-1

• undefined

What does it mean to find the inverse of a function?

• the x's and y's are switched
• the x's and y's are divided by 2
• the x's and y's are made negative
• the x's and y's are the same

Find the inverse of f(x) = 3x +8

• f^-1(x) = 3(x-8)
• f^-1(x) = (8x-1)/3
• f^-1(x) = (x-8)/3
• f^-1(x) = (x+8)/3

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

What is the inverse of the given coordinates: (1, 2) (3, 8) (-3, 6)

• (1, 2) (3, 8) (-3, 6)
• (1, 2) (8, 3) (-3, 6)
• (-1, -2) (-3, -8) (3, -6)
• (2, 1) (8, 3) (6, -3)

When finding the inverse of a relation, 
1st you replace f(x) with y
2nd switch the x's and y's
What do you do next?

• solve for y
• replace y with f^-1(x)
• solve for x
• find the greatest common factor
