Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to find the inverse is:
1. replace the symbol f(x) with y (for simplicy--stay tuned). Now you have
y = 2x -10
2. switch x and y. You get x = 2y - 10
3. Solve for y.
x + 10 = 2y
y = (x + 10)/2
4. Replace y with the symbol for the inverse function,
Another approach is to think about inverse operations in reverse order.
f(x): start with x
multiply by 2
subtract 10
Inverse: start with x
add 10 (addition is the inverse of subtraction)
divide by 2 (division is the inverse operation of multiplication)
