-------------------------------------------------
g(x) = 5x - 2 find g-1(x) (g to -1 power)
______
8x
--------------------------------------------------

g%28x%29=%285x-2%29%2F%288x%29

Find g%5E%28-1%29%28x%29, or the inverse of g(x).

--
The inverse: 2%2F%285-8x%29.

Note that g(x) has a left section for x less than 0, and a right section for x greater than 0. These two sections together do make a function. The inverse also does make a function.
