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

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

• (x + 5)²

• x - 5

• (x + 5)^-1

• undefined

If f(x)=3x, what is f^-1(x)?

• x/3

• 3x²

• 3x + 3x

• 3x^-1

Which is f ^-1(x)?

• f ^-1(x) = 5x + 3

• f ^-1(x) = 5x - 3

• f ^-1(x) = 5x - 15

• f ^-1(x) = 1/5(x) + 3/5
