Step-by-step solution

8 steps

To find the inverse function of a function, follow these steps:

  1. Replace f(x) with y.

    Let the given function be y = f(x).

  2. Swap x and y.

    Interchange the positions of x and y in the equation. This gives you x = f(y).

  3. Solve for y.

    Rearrange the equation x = f(y) to isolate y. This will give you y in terms of x.

  4. Replace y with f⁻¹(x).

    The expression you found for y is the inverse function, denoted as f⁻¹(x).

    For example, let's find the inverse of f(x) = 2x + 3.

  5. y = 2x + 3

  6. x = 2y + 3

  7. Step 7

    x - 3 = 2y
    y = (x - 3) / 2

  8. f⁻¹(x) = (x - 3) / 2
