If g (x) is the inverse of f (x) and f (x) = 4 x + 12, what is g (x)
g (x) = 12 x + 4
g (x) = one-fourth x minus 12
g (x) = x minus 3
g (x) = one-fourth x minus

Answer:

[tex]g(x) = \frac{1}{4} x - 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since g(x) is the inverse of f (x) to find g(x) must first find f-¹(x)

To find f-¹(x) equate f(x) to y

That's

f(x) = y

y = 4x + 12

Next interchange the terms x becomes y and y becomes x

That's

x = 4y + 12

Next make y the subject

4y = x - 12

Divide both sides by 4

[tex]y = \frac{1}{4} x - 3[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]g(x) = \frac{1}{4} x - 3[/tex]

Hope this helps you
