Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 3x + 1?
  • Step 1: Start with the function f(x) = 3x + 1.
  • Step 2: Replace f(x) with y, so now we have y = 3x + 1.
  • Step 3: To find the inverse, we need to solve for x in terms of y.
  • Step 4: Subtract 1 from both sides: y - 1 = 3x.
  • Step 5: Now, divide both sides by 3: (y - 1)/3 = x.
  • Step 6: The inverse function is written as f^(-1)(y) = (y - 1)/3.
