Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

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