Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The function is given as f(x)=19xf(x)=\frac{1}{9} x- . We need to find the inverse of this function, denoted as f1(x)f^{-1}(x)

STEP 2

The first step to finding the inverse of a function is to replace the function notation f(x)f(x) with yy.
y=19x2y = \frac{1}{9}x -2

STEP 3

Next, we swap xx and yy. This means we replace every xx with yy and every yy with xx.
x=19y2x = \frac{1}{9}y -2

STEP 4

Now, we need to solve this equation for yy to get the inverse function. First, add2 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with yy.
x+2=19yx +2 = \frac{1}{9}y

STEP 5

Next, multiply both sides of the equation by9 to solve for yy.
9(x+2)=y9(x +2) = y

STEP 6

implify the equation.
y=9x+18y =9x +18

STEP 7

Finally, replace yy with f1(x)f^{-1}(x) to denote that this is the inverse function.
f1(x)=9x+18f^{-1}(x) =9x +18So, the inverse of the function f(x)=19x2f(x)=\frac{1}{9} x-2 is f1(x)=9x+18f^{-1}(x)=9x +18.
