Find the Inverse (x+5)/4

$\frac{x + 5}{4}$

Step 1

Interchange the variables.

$x = \frac{y + 5}{4}$

Step 2

Solve for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{y + 5}{4} = x$ .

$\frac{y + 5}{4} = x$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $4$ .

$4 \frac{y + 5}{4} = 4 x$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$4 \frac{y + 5}{4} = 4 x$

Rewrite the expression.

$y + 5 = 4 x$

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 4 x - 5$

Step 3

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

$f^{- 1} (x) = 4 x - 5$

Step 4

Verify if $f^{- 1} (x) = 4 x - 5$ is the inverse of $f (x) = \frac{x + 5}{4}$ .

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 $f^{- 1} (\frac{x + 5}{4})$ by substituting in the value of $f$ into $f^{- 1}$ .

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x + 5}{4}) = 4 (\frac{x + 5}{4}) - 5$

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x + 5}{4}) = 4 (\frac{x + 5}{4}) - 5$

Rewrite the expression.

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x + 5}{4}) = x + 5 - 5$

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

Subtract $5$ from $5$ .

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x + 5}{4}) = x + 0$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x + 5}{4}) = x$

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

Set up the composite result function.

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

Evaluate $f (4 x - 5)$ by substituting in the value of $f^{- 1}$ into $f$ .

$f (4 x - 5) = \frac{(4 x - 5) + 5}{4}$

Simplify the numerator.

Add $- 5$ and $5$ .

$f (4 x - 5) = \frac{4 x + 0}{4}$

Add $4 x$ and $0$ .

$f (4 x - 5) = \frac{4 x}{4}$

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f (4 x - 5) = \frac{4 x}{4}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$f (4 x - 5) = x$

Since $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ , then $f^{- 1} (x) = 4 x - 5$ is the inverse of $f (x) = \frac{x + 5}{4}$ .

$f^{- 1} (x) = 4 x - 5$
