Find the Inverse f(x)=9x-2

$f (x) = 9 x - 2$

Write $f (x) = 9 x - 2$ as an equation.

$y = 9 x - 2$

Interchange the variables.

$x = 9 y - 2$

Solve for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $9 y - 2 = x$ .

$9 y - 2 = x$

Add $2$ to both sides of the equation.

$9 y = x + 2$

Divide each term in $9 y = x + 2$ by $9$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $9 y = x + 2$ by $9$ .

$\frac{9 y}{9} = \frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $9$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{9 y}{9} = \frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}$

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

$f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}$

Verify if $f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = 9 x - 2$ .

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 $f^{- 1} (9 x - 2)$ by substituting in the value of $f$ into $f^{- 1}$ .

$f^{- 1} (9 x - 2) = \frac{9 x - 2}{9} + \frac{2}{9}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$f^{- 1} (9 x - 2) = \frac{9 x - 2 + 2}{9}$

Combine the opposite terms in $9 x - 2 + 2$ .

Add $- 2$ and $2$ .

$f^{- 1} (9 x - 2) = \frac{9 x + 0}{9}$

Add $9 x$ and $0$ .

$f^{- 1} (9 x - 2) = \frac{9 x}{9}$

Cancel the common factor of $9$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f^{- 1} (9 x - 2) = \frac{9 x}{9}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$f^{- 1} (9 x - 2) = x$

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

Set up the composite result function.

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

Evaluate $f (\frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9})$ by substituting in the value of $f^{- 1}$ into $f$ .

$f (\frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}) = 9 (\frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}) - 2$

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

$f (\frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}) = 9 (\frac{x}{9}) + 9 (\frac{2}{9}) - 2$

Cancel the common factor of $9$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f (\frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}) = 9 (\frac{x}{9}) + 9 (\frac{2}{9}) - 2$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (\frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}) = x + 9 (\frac{2}{9}) - 2$

Cancel the common factor of $9$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f (\frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}) = x + 9 (\frac{2}{9}) - 2$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (\frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}) = x + 2 - 2$

Combine the opposite terms in $x + 2 - 2$ .

Subtract $2$ from $2$ .

$f (\frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}) = x + 0$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$f (\frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}) = x$

Since $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ , then $f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = 9 x - 2$ .

$f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{x}{9} + \frac{2}{9}$
