Which function is the inverse of f(x) = 2x + 3?

To find the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 3, we need to follow a few steps:

  1. Start by replacing f(x) with y:
  2. y = 2x + 3
  3. Next, swap the roles of x and y. This means we will now express x in terms of y:
  4. x = 2y + 3
  5. Now, solve for y:
    1. Subtract 3 from both sides:
    2. x - 3 = 2y
    3. Then, divide by 2:
    4. y = (x - 3) / 2
  6. Finally, replace y with f-1(x) to express the inverse function:
  7. f-1(x) = (x - 3) / 2

Thus, the inverse function of f(x) = 2x + 3 is f-1(x) = (x – 3) / 2.
