Fluency Practice

Find the inverse of each function. Show your steps.

1.

Find f1(x)f^{-1}(x) for f(x)=4x3f(x) = 4x - 3.

Express your answer in the form f1(x)=x+abf^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + a}{b}.
Enter just the value of aa (the number added in the numerator).

2.

Find f1(x)f^{-1}(x) for f(x)=x52f(x) = \dfrac{x - 5}{2}.

Enter the coefficient of xx in the expression for f1(x)f^{-1}(x).
(For example, if f1(x)=2x+5f^{-1}(x) = 2x + 5, enter 2.)

3.

Find f1(x)f^{-1}(x) for f(x)=2x3f(x) = 2x^3.

Enter the denominator of the expression under the cube root in f1(x)f^{-1}(x).
(For example, if f1(x)=xk3f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x}{k}}, enter kk.)

4.

Let f(x)=x2f(x) = x^2 with domain x0x \geq 0.
Which of the following is f1(x)f^{-1}(x)?

5.

Find f1(x)f^{-1}(x) for f(x)=x+3x2f(x) = \dfrac{x + 3}{x - 2}, where x2x \neq 2.

After applying the swap-and-solve method, the inverse is of the form
f1(x)=ax+bxcf^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{ax + b}{x - c}.
Enter the value of cc.
