Find the Inverse x/6+8

$\frac{x}{6} + 8$

Step 1

Interchange the variables.

$x = \frac{y}{6} + 8$

Step 2

Solve for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{y}{6} + 8 = x$ .

$\frac{y}{6} + 8 = x$

Subtract $8$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{y}{6} = x - 8$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $6$ .

$6 \frac{y}{6} = 6 (x - 8)$

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$6 \frac{y}{6} = 6 (x - 8)$

Rewrite the expression.

$y = 6 (x - 8)$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $6 (x - 8)$ .

Apply the distributive property.

$y = 6 x + 6 \cdot - 8$

Multiply $6$ by $- 8$ .

$y = 6 x - 48$

Step 3

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

$f^{- 1} (x) = 6 x - 48$

Step 4

Verify if $f^{- 1} (x) = 6 x - 48$ is the inverse of $f (x) = \frac{x}{6} + 8$ .

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 $f^{- 1} (\frac{x}{6} + 8)$ by substituting in the value of $f$ into $f^{- 1}$ .

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x}{6} + 8) = 6 (\frac{x}{6} + 8) - 48$

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x}{6} + 8) = 6 (\frac{x}{6}) + 6 \cdot 8 - 48$

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x}{6} + 8) = 6 (\frac{x}{6}) + 6 \cdot 8 - 48$

Rewrite the expression.

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x}{6} + 8) = x + 6 \cdot 8 - 48$

Multiply $6$ by $8$ .

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x}{6} + 8) = x + 48 - 48$

Combine the opposite terms in $x + 48 - 48$ .

Subtract $48$ from $48$ .

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x}{6} + 8) = x + 0$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$f^{- 1} (\frac{x}{6} + 8) = x$

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

Set up the composite result function.

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

Evaluate $f (6 x - 48)$ by substituting in the value of $f^{- 1}$ into $f$ .

$f (6 x - 48) = \frac{6 x - 48}{6} + 8$

Cancel the common factor of $6 x - 48$ and $6$ .

Factor $6$ out of $6 x$ .

$f (6 x - 48) = \frac{6 (x) - 48}{6} + 8$

Factor $6$ out of $- 48$ .

$f (6 x - 48) = \frac{6 (x) + 6 \cdot - 8}{6} + 8$

Factor $6$ out of $6 (x) + 6 (- 8)$ .

$f (6 x - 48) = \frac{6 (x - 8)}{6} + 8$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $6$ out of $6$ .

$f (6 x - 48) = \frac{6 (x - 8)}{6 (1)} + 8$

Cancel the common factor.

$f (6 x - 48) = \frac{6 (x - 8)}{6 \cdot 1} + 8$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (6 x - 48) = \frac{x - 8}{1} + 8$

Divide $x - 8$ by $1$ .

$f (6 x - 48) = x - 8 + 8$

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

Add $- 8$ and $8$ .

$f (6 x - 48) = x + 0$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$f (6 x - 48) = x$

Since $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ , then $f^{- 1} (x) = 6 x - 48$ is the inverse of $f (x) = \frac{x}{6} + 8$ .

$f^{- 1} (x) = 6 x - 48$
