Finding 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

Was the inverse function found correctly?

• no

• yes

Are the following inverses of each other? Yes or No

• Yes

• No

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

What should we do first to solve for x?

ax + b = c

• Add b

• Subtract b

• Multiply b

• Divide b

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)
