Solution Steps

To find the inverse of the function f(x)=4x+7 f(x) = \frac{4}{x+7} , we need to swap the roles of x x and y y and solve for y y . This involves setting y=4x+7 y = \frac{4}{x+7} , then solving for x x in terms of y y , and finally expressing y y as a function of x x .

Step 1: Set Up the Equation for the Inverse

To find the inverse of the function f(x)=4x+7 f(x) = \frac{4}{x+7} , we start by setting y=4x+7 y = \frac{4}{x+7} .

Step 2: Swap Variables and Solve for x x

Next, we swap x x and y y to get x=4y+7 x = \frac{4}{y+7} . We then solve for y y in terms of x x .

Step 3: Solve for y y

Rearranging the equation x=4y+7 x = \frac{4}{y+7} , we multiply both sides by y+7 y+7 to get: x(y+7)=4 x(y+7) = 4

Expanding and solving for y y , we have: xy+7x=4 xy + 7x = 4 xy=47x xy = 4 - 7x y=47xx y = \frac{4 - 7x}{x}

Final Answer

f1(x)=47xx\boxed{f^{-1}(x) = \frac{4 - 7x}{x}}
