Find the Inverse 5x-11

$5 x - 11$

Step 1

Interchange the variables.

$x = 5 y - 11$

Step 2

Solve for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $5 y - 11 = x$ .

$5 y - 11 = x$

Add $11$ to both sides of the equation.

$5 y = x + 11$

Divide each term in $5 y = x + 11$ by $5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $5 y = x + 11$ by $5$ .

$\frac{5 y}{5} = \frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 y}{5} = \frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}$

Step 3

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

$f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}$

Step 4

Verify if $f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = 5 x - 11$ .

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 $f^{- 1} (5 x - 11)$ by substituting in the value of $f$ into $f^{- 1}$ .

$f^{- 1} (5 x - 11) = \frac{5 x - 11}{5} + \frac{11}{5}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$f^{- 1} (5 x - 11) = \frac{5 x - 11 + 11}{5}$

Combine the opposite terms in $5 x - 11 + 11$ .

Add $- 11$ and $11$ .

$f^{- 1} (5 x - 11) = \frac{5 x + 0}{5}$

Add $5 x$ and $0$ .

$f^{- 1} (5 x - 11) = \frac{5 x}{5}$

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f^{- 1} (5 x - 11) = \frac{5 x}{5}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$f^{- 1} (5 x - 11) = x$

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

Set up the composite result function.

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

Evaluate $f (\frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5})$ by substituting in the value of $f^{- 1}$ into $f$ .

$f (\frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}) = 5 (\frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}) - 11$

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

$f (\frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}) = 5 (\frac{x}{5}) + 5 (\frac{11}{5}) - 11$

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f (\frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}) = 5 (\frac{x}{5}) + 5 (\frac{11}{5}) - 11$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (\frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}) = x + 5 (\frac{11}{5}) - 11$

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f (\frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}) = x + 5 (\frac{11}{5}) - 11$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (\frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}) = x + 11 - 11$

Combine the opposite terms in $x + 11 - 11$ .

Subtract $11$ from $11$ .

$f (\frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}) = x + 0$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$f (\frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}) = x$

Since $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ , then $f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = 5 x - 11$ .

$f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{5} + \frac{11}{5}$
