The inverse of the function f(x) = 7x - 1 is [tex]f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x}{7} + \frac{1}{7}[/tex]
The given function is:
f(x) = 7x - 1
Make x the subject of the formula
[tex]f(x) = 7x - 1\\\\7x = f(x) + 1\\\\[/tex]
Divide through by 7
[tex]\frac{7x}{7}= \frac{f(x)}{7} + \frac{1}{7}\\\\x = \frac{f(x)}{7} + \frac{1}{7}[/tex]
Replace x by [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex] and replace f(x) by x:
[tex]f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x}{7} + \frac{1}{7}[/tex]
Therefore the inverse of the function f(x) = 7x - 1 is [tex]f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x}{7} + \frac{1}{7}[/tex]
