Question

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?

Answer 1

Answer:

The inverse f-1(x)  = ( x -  2) / 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 2x + 1 = y

Now find x in terms of y:

2x = y - 1

x = (y - 1) / 2

Replace the x by the inverse f-1(x) and the y by x, so we have:

f-1(x)  = ( x - 2) / 2.

Answer 2

$f(x)=2x+1\\\\y=2x+1\\2x=y-1\\x=\dfrac{y-1}{2}\\\\f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x-1}{2}$
