Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Inverse Functions - Corbettmaths
- Start with the function: f(x) = 2x + 1.
- Replace f(x) with y: y = 2x + 1.
- Swap x and y to find the inverse: x = 2y + 1.
- Solve for y:
- Subtract 1 from both sides: x - 1 = 2y.
- Divide both sides by 2: (x - 1)/2 = y.
- Replace y with f⁻¹(x): f⁻¹(x) = (x - 1)/2.
