Write as a Function of b T^-1(b)=11b-2

$T^{- 1} (b) = 11 b - 2$

Step 1

Divide each term in $T^{- 1} b = 11 b - 2$ by $b$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $T^{- 1} b = 11 b - 2$ by $b$ .

$\frac{T^{- 1} b}{b} = \frac{11 b}{b} + \frac{- 2}{b}$

Simplify the left side.

Move $T^{- 1}$ to the denominator using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{b}{b T} = \frac{11 b}{b} + \frac{- 2}{b}$

Cancel the common factor of $b$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{b}{b T} = \frac{11 b}{b} + \frac{- 2}{b}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{1}{T} = \frac{11 b}{b} + \frac{- 2}{b}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Cancel the common factor of $b$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{T} = \frac{11 b}{b} + \frac{- 2}{b}$

Divide $11$ by $1$ .

$\frac{1}{T} = 11 + \frac{- 2}{b}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$\frac{1}{T} = 11 - \frac{2}{b}$

Step 2

Find the LCD of the terms in the equation.

Finding the LCD of a list of values is the same as finding the LCM of the denominators of those values.

$T, 1, b$

Since $T, 1, b$ contains both numbers and variables, there are two steps to find the LCM. Find LCM for the numeric part $1, 1, 1$ then find LCM for the variable part $T^{1}, b^{1}$ .

The LCM is the smallest positive number that all of the numbers divide into evenly.

1. List the prime factors of each number.

2. Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number.

The number $1$ is not a prime number because it only has one positive factor, which is itself.

Not prime

The LCM of $1, 1, 1$ is the result of multiplying all prime factors the greatest number of times they occur in either number.

$1$

The factor for $T^{1}$ is $T$ itself.

$T^{1} = T$

$T$ occurs $1$ time.

The factor for $b^{1}$ is $b$ itself.

$b^{1} = b$

$b$ occurs $1$ time.

The LCM of $T^{1}, b^{1}$ is the result of multiplying all prime factors the greatest number of times they occur in either term.

$T \cdot b$

Multiply $T$ by $b$ .

$T b$

Step 3

Multiply each term in $\frac{1}{T} = 11 - \frac{2}{b}$ by $T b$ to eliminate the fractions.

Multiply each term in $\frac{1}{T} = 11 - \frac{2}{b}$ by $T b$ .

$\frac{1}{T} (T b) = 11 (T b) - \frac{2}{b} (T b)$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $T$ .

Factor $T$ out of $T b$ .

$\frac{1}{T} (T (b)) = 11 (T b) - \frac{2}{b} (T b)$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{T} (T b) = 11 (T b) - \frac{2}{b} (T b)$

Rewrite the expression.

$b = 11 (T b) - \frac{2}{b} (T b)$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $b$ .

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{2}{b}$ into the numerator.

$b = 11 T b + \frac{- 2}{b} (T b)$

Factor $b$ out of $T b$ .

$b = 11 T b + \frac{- 2}{b} (b T)$

Cancel the common factor.

$b = 11 T b + \frac{- 2}{b} (b T)$

Rewrite the expression.

$b = 11 T b - 2 T$

Step 4

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $11 T b - 2 T = b$ .

$11 T b - 2 T = b$

Factor $T$ out of $11 T b - 2 T$ .

Factor $T$ out of $11 T b$ .

$T (11 b) - 2 T = b$

Factor $T$ out of $- 2 T$ .

$T (11 b) + T \cdot - 2 = b$

Factor $T$ out of $T (11 b) + T \cdot - 2$ .

$T (11 b - 2) = b$

Divide each term in $T (11 b - 2) = b$ by $11 b - 2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $T (11 b - 2) = b$ by $11 b - 2$ .

$\frac{T (11 b - 2)}{11 b - 2} = \frac{b}{11 b - 2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $11 b - 2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{T (11 b - 2)}{11 b - 2} = \frac{b}{11 b - 2}$

Divide $T$ by $1$ .

$T = \frac{b}{11 b - 2}$

Step 5

To rewrite as a function of $b$ , write the equation so that $T$ is by itself on one side of the equal sign and an expression involving only $b$ is on the other side.

$f (b) = \frac{b}{11 b - 2}$

Write as a Function of b T^-1(b)=11b-2
