I don't know how to do these. Please help! Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Generally to find the inverse of a function you solve for x and then replace x with y and y with x. So, here we go,
1. y = x^2+2
x^2 = y -2
x = square root (y-2)
f^-1(x) = square root (x-2)
f^-1(3) = square root (3-2)
f^-1(3) = + or - 1
answer is A
2. Identify the inverse of the function f(x)=-7x+2
y = -7x +2
7x = (2-y)
x = (2-y) / 7
f^-1(x) = (2-x) / 7
answer is B
