To find the inverse, swap the x's and y's and solve for y. Remember that a(x) represents y
y = [tex] \frac{1}{x} [/tex] - 2 given
x = [tex] \frac{1}{y} [/tex] - 2 x's and y's swapped
x + 2 = [tex] \frac{1}{y} [/tex] added 2 to both sides
y(x + 2) = 1 multiplied y on both sides
y = [tex] \frac{1}{x + 2} [/tex] divided (x + 2) on both sides
Answer: [tex] a^{-1} (x) [/tex] = [tex] \frac{1}{x + 2} [/tex]
a(x) = 1/x - 2
or
y = 1/x - 2
Switch x and y to find the inverse function
x = 1/y - 2
1/y = x + 2
y = 1 / (x + 2)
Answer
a^-1(x) = 1 / (x + 2)
