f⁻¹(x) stands for the invers of function f(x). The inverse of f(x) is equal to x. We need to solve for x.
solve for x f(x) = 2x + 2 2x + 2 = f(x) 2x = f(x) - 2 x = [tex] \dfrac{f(x)-2}{2}[/tex] f⁻¹(x) = [tex] \dfrac{x-2}{2}[/tex]
Determine the value of f⁻¹(x) when x = 4 f⁻¹(x) = [tex] \dfrac{x-2}{2}[/tex] f⁻¹(4) = [tex] \dfrac{4-2}{2}[/tex] f⁻¹(4) = [tex] \dfrac{2}{2}[/tex] f⁻¹(4) = 1 When x = 4, the value of f⁻¹(x) is equal to 1
