Given the function: " f(x) = 2x − 10 " ; Find the inverse of this function ;
_________________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_________________________________________________________
Let: f(x) = y = 2x − 10 ;

Replace "y" with "x" ; and "x" with "y" ;

x = 2y − 10 ;

Now, solve for "y" ; in terms of "x" ; in "slope-intercept format" ;

x = 2y − 10 ;

↔ 2y − 10 = x ;

Now, add "10" to each side of the equation ;

2y − 10 + 10 = x + 10 ;

to get:

2y = x + 10 ;

Now, divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;
to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "y" in terms of "x" ;

2y/2 = (x + 10) / 2 ;

to get:

y = (x + 10)/2 ;

→ y = (x/2) + (10/2) ;

→ y = (1/2)x + 5 ;


Now replace: "y" ; with: " f ⁻¹(x)" ; and rewrite:
_________________________________________________________
→ " f ⁻¹(x) =
`(1)/(2)` x + 5 " .
