• Add 10

• Cross-multiply

What is the inverse function of f(x) = 3x - 5 / 2?

• F inverse(x) = 5x - 3 / 2

• F inverse(x) = x - 5 / 3

• F inverse(x) = 3x + 5 / 2

• F inverse(x) = 2x + 5 / 3

How do you find F inverse of 5?

• Add 5 to the inverse function

• Divide the inverse function by 5

• Substitute 5 for x in the inverse function

• Multiply the inverse function by 5

What is the result of F inverse of 5?

• 5

• 10

• 15

• 20

What does the composition of functions involve?
