Full solution

Q. What is the inverse of the function f(x)=8x+1f(x)=8x+1?
  1. Switch Roles and Solve: To find the inverse of the function f(x)=8x+1f(x) = 8x + 1, we need to switch the roles of xx and f(x)f(x) and then solve for the new xx. Let y=f(x)y = f(x), so we have y=8x+1y = 8x + 1. Now, we replace yy with xx and xx with yy to get xx00.
  2. Replace Variables and Simplify: Next, we need to solve for yy in terms of xx. To do this, we will first subtract 11 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with yy.x1=8y+11x - 1 = 8y + 1 - 1x1=8yx - 1 = 8y
  3. Isolate y and Divide: Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 88 to solve for yy.\newlinex18=8y8\frac{x - 1}{8} = \frac{8y}{8}\newliney=x18y = \frac{x - 1}{8}
  4. Final Inverse Function: The function we have now, y=x18y = \frac{x - 1}{8}, is the inverse of the original function f(x)=8x+1f(x) = 8x + 1. We can denote the inverse function as f1(x)f^{-1}(x). So, f1(x)=x18f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 1}{8}.
