what is f–1(8)??
Please select the best answer

Answer:
[tex]f^{-1}(8)=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x)=[tex]2x+5[/tex]
We have to find [tex]f^{-1}(8)[/tex]
In order to find [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex] we have to make x as the subject of the formula
Let us assume f(x)=y
⇒[tex]2x+5=y[/tex]
Subtracting both sides by 5
[tex]2x+5-5=y-5[/tex]
[tex]2x=y-5[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 2
[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{y-5}{2}[/tex]
⇒[tex]x=\frac{y-5}{2}[/tex]
Now substituting y with x
we have [tex]f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-5}{2}[/tex]
Now [tex]f^{-1}(8)=\frac{8-5}{2}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
So option (ii) is correct
Answer:
Choice B is correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
From question statement , we observe that
A function is given and we have to find inverse of this function. Then, we have to find the f⁻¹(8).
f(x) = 2x+5
put f(x) = y in above equation, we get
y = 2x+5
adding -5 to both sides of above equation,we get
y-5 = 2x+5-5
y-5 = 2x
dividing by 2 to both sides of equation,we get
y-5 / 2 = 2x/ 2
y-5 / 2 = x
swapping equation,we get
x = y-5 / 2
put f⁻¹(y) = x in above equation,we get
f⁻¹(y) = y-5 / 2
replace y with x in above equation
f⁻¹(x) = x-5 / 2
we have to find f⁻¹(8) .
putting x = 8 in above equation,we get
f⁻¹(8) = 8-5/2
f⁻¹(8) = 3/2 which is the answer.
