Question 979132: Hello, i am having trouble solving for a function while studying. the example given is:
"find the inverse of the function f(x)= 1/x+2
a. y=1/x+2
b.____=1/y+2
c.x(y+2)=1
d.____=1/x
e.y=1/x-2=f^-1(x)
thank you for your help so much

To find the inverse function, substitute y for x, and then resolve for y:
y = 1/(x+2) -> x = 1/(y+2)
y+2 = 1/x
y = 1/x - 2
Ans: e

It appears as though the steps to finding the inverse of the function is laid out



a.  ---------- Substituting y for f(x)

b.  ---------- Interchanging x and y

c. x(y + 2) = 1 -------- Cross-multiplying in order to isolate y

d.  

    ------------ Isolating y

e.  ---- Replacing y with
