To find the inverse of the function f(x)=x+74, we need to swap the roles of x and y and solve for y. This involves setting y=x+74, then solving for x in terms of y, and finally expressing y as a function of x.
Step 1: Set Up the Equation for the Inverse
To find the inverse of the function f(x)=x+74, we start by setting y=x+74.
Step 2: Swap Variables and Solve for x
Next, we swap x and y to get x=y+74. We then solve for y in terms of x.
Step 3: Solve for y
Rearranging the equation x=y+74, we multiply both sides by y+7 to get:
x(y+7)=4
Expanding and solving for y, we have:
xy+7x=4xy=4−7xy=x4−7x
