Question 48005: I am struggling with solving this problem. I hope there is someone who would be so kind as to show me all the steps in solving this problem.
For the function defined by f(x)=5x-4, find a formula for f^-1(x).
Thank you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)=5x-4
Find a formula for f^-1(x).
y=5x-4
Interchange x and y to get:
x=5y-4
Solve for y as follows:
5y=x+4
y=(1/5)x+(5/4)
That is f^-1
