First, this function is strictly increasing on the entire real line, so an inverse exist on the entire real line. We define inverse of function f, denoted f^-1 such that if y = f(x) then f^-1(y) = x Or to find the inverse, all is needed is to isolate x in terms of y. In this case, y = 7x + 2 7x = y - 2 x = (y - 2)/7 So the inverse is x = (y - 2)/7 What? You don't like function in terms of y? Well, they are just meaningless variables anyway, you can write whatever, in particular the inverse is y = (x - 2) / 7 (the x, y here are independent with the x, y above. If you are getting confused, write b = (a - 2)/7 where b is a function of a)

A reciprocal function will flip the original function (reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3). An inverse function will change the x's and y's of the original function (the inverse of x<4,y>8 is y<4, x>8). Whenever a function is reflected over the line y=x, the result is the inverse of that function. The y=x line starts at the origin (0,0) and has a positive slope of one. All an inverse does is flip the domain and range.
If f(x)=y, then the inverse function solves for y when x=f(y). You may have to restrict the domain for the inverse function to be a function. Use this concept when finding the inverse of hyperbolic functions.

The inverse for f(x) = 4x + 8 isg(x) = x/4 - 2
Simply stated, the inverse of a function is a function where the variables are reversed. If you have a function f(x) = y, the inverse is denoted as f-1(y) = x. Examples: y=x+3 Inverse is x=y+3, or y=x-3 y=2x+5 Inverse is x=2y+5, or y=(x-5)/2
If the quadratic function is f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c then its inverse isf'(x) = [-b + +/- sqrt{b^2 - 4*(c - x)}]/(2a)
X squared is not an inverse function; it is a quadratic function.
The inverse of the function y = x is denoted as y = x. The inverse function essentially swaps the roles of x and y, so the inverse of y = x is x = y. In other words, the inverse function of y = x is the function x = y.
The inverse for f(x) = 4x + 8 isg(x) = x/4 - 2
Given a function that is one-to-one and onto (a bijection), an inverse relationship is a function that reverses the action of the first function.A simple example to illustrate:if f(x) = x + 2, then g(x) = x - 2 is its inverse. fg(x) = x = gf(x).To find an inverse relationship of a function f(x)write y = f(x) as a function of xswap x and ymake the [new] y the subject of the formulathat is the inverse function.Going back to f(x) = x + 2write y = x + 2swap: x = y + 2make y the subject of the above equation: y = x - 2and so f'(x) is x - 2 where f'(x) represent the inverse of f(x).
a relation that is the inverse of the original function. So the variables ( x and y) are swapped. xcoordinatesbecomes ycoordinatesand vice versa.f(x) = 2x +5inverse f(x) = (x - 5)/2
