Answer:


f^(-1)(x)=-(2)/(5)x+2}

Explanation:

Find the inverse of the function.


f(x)=(5)/(2)x+5

(1) - Switch f(x) and x


f(x)=-(5)/(2)x+5\\\\\Longrightarrow x=-(5)/(2)f(x)+5

(2) - Solve for f(x)


x=-(5)/(2)f(x)+5\\\\\Longrightarrow (5)/(2)f(x)=5-x\\\\\Longrightarrow f(x)=(2)/(5)(5-x)\\\\\Longrightarrow f(x)=(10)/(5)-(2)/(5)x \\\\\Longrightarrow f(x)=-(2)/(5)x+2

(3) - Replace f(x) with f^-1(x)


\therefore \boxed{f^(-1)(x)=-(2)/(5)x+2}

Thus, the inverse is found.
