Example Question #2 : Simple Functions And Coresponding Inverses: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsf Bf.B.4a

Find the inverse of f(x) .

f(x)=x+10

Possible Answers:

$f^{-1}(x)=10x+1$

$f^{-1}(x)=10x-1$

$f^{-1}(x)=x+10$

$f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x}{10}$

$f^{-1}(x)=x-10$

Correct answer:

$f^{-1}(x)=x-10$

Explanation:

This question is testing one's ability to algebraically calculate the inverse of a given function. This also builds one's understanding of the concept of a function and its inverse at a basic level, graphing functions, and the Cartesian plane and its coordinate system.

For the purpose of Common Core Standards, finding the inverse of a simple function, falls within the Cluster B of build new functions from existing functions concept (CCSS.Math.content.HSF.BF.B).

Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.

Step 1: Switch the and variables.

The given function is,

f(x)=x+10

recall that f(x)=y therefore,

y=x+10 .

Now switch the variables.

x=y+10

Step 2: Solve for .

Solving for requires the use of algebraic operations to move constants from side to side. Remember to use the opposite operation to move a constant from one side to the other.

$\\x=y+10 \\x{\color{Blue} -10}=y+10{\color{Blue} -10} \\x-10=y$

Step 3: Answer the question.

Recall that after the variable are switch, and is solved for it is really the inverse of that is being solved for thus, $y=f^{-1}(x)$ .

$f^{-1}(x)=x-10$
