Find the Inverse 4x-160

$4 x - 160$

Step 1

Interchange the variables.

$x = 4 y - 160$

Step 2

Solve for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $4 y - 160 = x$ .

$4 y - 160 = x$

Add $160$ to both sides of the equation.

$4 y = x + 160$

Divide each term in $4 y = x + 160$ by $4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $4 y = x + 160$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4 y}{4} = \frac{x}{4} + \frac{160}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 y}{4} = \frac{x}{4} + \frac{160}{4}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{x}{4} + \frac{160}{4}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $160$ by $4$ .

$y = \frac{x}{4} + 40$

Step 3

Replace $y$ with $f^{- 1} (x)$ to show the final answer.

$f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{4} + 40$

Step 4

Verify if $f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{4} + 40$ is the inverse of $f (x) = 4 x - 160$ .

To verify the inverse, check if $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ .

Evaluate $f^{- 1} (f (x))$ .

Set up the composite result function.

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

Evaluate $f^{- 1} (4 x - 160)$ by substituting in the value of $f$ into $f^{- 1}$ .

$f^{- 1} (4 x - 160) = \frac{4 x - 160}{4} + 40$

Cancel the common factor of $4 x - 160$ and $4$ .

Factor $4$ out of $4 x$ .

$f^{- 1} (4 x - 160) = \frac{4 (x) - 160}{4} + 40$

Factor $4$ out of $- 160$ .

$f^{- 1} (4 x - 160) = \frac{4 (x) + 4 \cdot - 40}{4} + 40$

Factor $4$ out of $4 (x) + 4 (- 40)$ .

$f^{- 1} (4 x - 160) = \frac{4 (x - 40)}{4} + 40$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $4$ out of $4$ .

$f^{- 1} (4 x - 160) = \frac{4 (x - 40)}{4 (1)} + 40$

Cancel the common factor.

$f^{- 1} (4 x - 160) = \frac{4 (x - 40)}{4 \cdot 1} + 40$

Rewrite the expression.

$f^{- 1} (4 x - 160) = \frac{x - 40}{1} + 40$

Divide $x - 40$ by $1$ .

$f^{- 1} (4 x - 160) = x - 40 + 40$

Combine the opposite terms in $x - 40 + 40$ .

Add $- 40$ and $40$ .

$f^{- 1} (4 x - 160) = x + 0$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$f^{- 1} (4 x - 160) = x$

Evaluate $f (f^{- 1} (x))$ .

Set up the composite result function.

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

Evaluate $f (\frac{x}{4} + 40)$ by substituting in the value of $f^{- 1}$ into $f$ .

$f (\frac{x}{4} + 40) = 4 (\frac{x}{4} + 40) - 160$

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

$f (\frac{x}{4} + 40) = 4 (\frac{x}{4}) + 4 \cdot 40 - 160$

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f (\frac{x}{4} + 40) = 4 (\frac{x}{4}) + 4 \cdot 40 - 160$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (\frac{x}{4} + 40) = x + 4 \cdot 40 - 160$

Multiply $4$ by $40$ .

$f (\frac{x}{4} + 40) = x + 160 - 160$

Combine the opposite terms in $x + 160 - 160$ .

Subtract $160$ from $160$ .

$f (\frac{x}{4} + 40) = x + 0$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$f (\frac{x}{4} + 40) = x$

Since $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ , then $f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{4} + 40$ is the inverse of $f (x) = 4 x - 160$ .

$f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{4} + 40$
