Inverse Functions AP Precalculus

Find the inverse of f(x) = -4x - 12

• f^-1(x) = 4x - 3

• f^-1(x) = -1/4x - 3

• f^-1(x) = 1/4x + 3

• f^-1(x) = -4x - 3

Find the inverse of
f(x) = 1/4x - 7

• f^-1(x) = 4x + 7

• f^-1(x) = -4x + 28

• f^-1(x) = -4x - 7

• f^-1(x) = 4x + 28

Find the inverse of the function
f(x) = 3x − 5

• f^-1(x)=3x +5

• f^-1(x)=(x+5)/3

• f^-1(x)=3y-5

• f^-1(x)=3y+5

What does it mean to find the inverse of a function?

• the x's and y's are switched

• the x's and y's are divided by 2

• the x's and y's are made negative

• the x's and y's are the same

An ​ (a)   takes a previously found result ( a y value) and returns it to its original value (x value). This means you are ​ (b)   a function
