Algebraic Inverse Tips and Tricks and Shortcuts:

Inverse is a Reverse of any quantity.

Addition is the opposite of subtraction; division is the opposite of multiplication, and so on.

For Example-

If, f is the inverse of y,

Then, the inverse of f(x)= 2x+3 can be written as,

f-1 (y)= \frac{ (y-3)}{2} \

Inverse Questions and Answers :

Question 1 : Given f(x) = \frac{3x}{4 – x}

A. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{4x}{3 + x}
B. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{4x}{x – 3}
C. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{4x}{3 – x}
D. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{4x}{3 + x}

Solution:

For the first step we simply replace the function with a y
y = \frac{3x}{4-x}
Next, replace all the x’s with y’s and all the original y’s with x’s.
x = \frac{3y}{4 – y}
Solve the equation from Step 2 for y.
x = \frac{3y}{4 – y}
x \times (4 – y) = 3y
4x – xy = 3y
4x = 3y + xy
4x = y(3 + x)
y = \frac{4x}{3 + x}
Replace y with f^{-1}
f^{-1}(x) = \frac{4x}{3 + x}

Question 2 : Given f(x) = \frac{7x}{3 – x}

A. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{3x}{7 – x}
B. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{7x}{3 + x}
C. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{3x}{7 + x}
D. None of these

Solution:

For the first step we simply replace the function with a y
y = \frac{7x}{3-x}
Next, replace all the x’s with y’s and all the original y’s with x’s.
x = \frac{7y}{3 – y}
Solve the equation from Step 2 for y.
x = \frac{7y}{3 – y}
x \times (3 – y) = 7y
3x – xy = 7y
3x = 7y + xy
3x = y(7 + x)
y = \frac{3x}{7 + x}
Replace y with f^{-1}
f^{-1}(x) = \frac{3y}{7 + y}

Question 3 :  Let f(x) = (1 + 9x) / (4 – x). Find f^{-1}(x).

A. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{4 – x}{1 + 9x}
B. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{4x – 1}{9 + x}
C. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{1 – 9x}{4 + x)}
D. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{9x – 1}{x – 4}

Solution:

To find f^{-1}(x), we switch x and y and solve for y:
x = \frac{1 + 9y}{4 – y},
x(4 – y) = 1 + 9y,
4x – xy = 1 + 9y,
y(9 + x) = 4x – 1,
y = \frac{4x – 1}{9 + x}
Therefore, f^{-1}(x) = \frac{4x – 1}{9 + x}

Question 4 : Let f(x) = 2x – 5. Find f^{-1}(x).

A. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x}{2} – 5
B. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x+5}{2}
C. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{2}{x} – 5
D. f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x-5}{2}

Solution:

To find f^{-1}(x), we switch x and y and solve for y:
x = 2y – 5,
x + 5 = 2y,
y = (x + 5) / 2.
Therefore, f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x+5}{2}

Question 5 : Let f(x) = 3x + 2. Find inverse of this function

A. (x – 2) / 3
B. (x + 2) / 3
C. (x – 3) / 2
D. (x + 3) / 2

Solution:

To find inverse of f(x), we switch x and y and solve for y:
x = 3y + 2,
x – 2 = 3y,
y = (x – 2) / 3.
Therefore, Inverse of f(x) = (x – 2) / 3.
