Find the Inverse f(x)=4x+3

Problem

ƒ(x)=4*x+3

Solution

1. Replace the function notation ƒ(x) with the variable y

y=4*x+3

2. Interchange the variables x and y to begin finding the inverse relationship.

x=4*y+3

3. Isolate the term containing y by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation.

x−3=4*y

4. Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 4

y=(x−3)/4

5. Rewrite the result using inverse function notation ƒ(x)(−1)

ƒ(x)(−1)=(x−3)/4

Final Answer

ƒ(x)(−1)=(x−3)/4
