Find the Inverse 8x-13

$8 x - 13$

Step 1

Interchange the variables.

$x = 8 y - 13$

Step 2

Solve for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $8 y - 13 = x$ .

$8 y - 13 = x$

Add $13$ to both sides of the equation.

$8 y = x + 13$

Divide each term in $8 y = x + 13$ by $8$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $8 y = x + 13$ by $8$ .

$\frac{8 y}{8} = \frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{8 y}{8} = \frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}$

Step 3

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

$f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}$

Step 4

Verify if $f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = 8 x - 13$ .

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 $f^{- 1} (8 x - 13)$ by substituting in the value of $f$ into $f^{- 1}$ .

$f^{- 1} (8 x - 13) = \frac{8 x - 13}{8} + \frac{13}{8}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$f^{- 1} (8 x - 13) = \frac{8 x - 13 + 13}{8}$

Combine the opposite terms in $8 x - 13 + 13$ .

Add $- 13$ and $13$ .

$f^{- 1} (8 x - 13) = \frac{8 x + 0}{8}$

Add $8 x$ and $0$ .

$f^{- 1} (8 x - 13) = \frac{8 x}{8}$

Cancel the common factor of $8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f^{- 1} (8 x - 13) = \frac{8 x}{8}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$f^{- 1} (8 x - 13) = x$

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

Set up the composite result function.

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

Evaluate $f (\frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8})$ by substituting in the value of $f^{- 1}$ into $f$ .

$f (\frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}) = 8 (\frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}) - 13$

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

$f (\frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}) = 8 (\frac{x}{8}) + 8 (\frac{13}{8}) - 13$

Cancel the common factor of $8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f (\frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}) = 8 (\frac{x}{8}) + 8 (\frac{13}{8}) - 13$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (\frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}) = x + 8 (\frac{13}{8}) - 13$

Cancel the common factor of $8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f (\frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}) = x + 8 (\frac{13}{8}) - 13$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (\frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}) = x + 13 - 13$

Combine the opposite terms in $x + 13 - 13$ .

Subtract $13$ from $13$ .

$f (\frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}) = x + 0$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$f (\frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}) = x$

Since $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ , then $f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = 8 x - 13$ .

$f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{8} + \frac{13}{8}$
