What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?

The inverse of the linear function f(x)=2x+1 is f^(-1) (x) = (1/2)x-1/2

Solution

f(x)=2x+1

y=f(x)

y=2x+1

Isolating x: Subtracting 1 both sides of the equation:

y-1=2x+1-1

y-1=2x

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 1/2:

(1/2)(y-1)=(1/2)2x

(1/2)y-1/2=x

x=(1/2)y-1/2

Changing "x" by "f^(-1) (x)" and "y" by "x":

f^(-1) (x) = (1/2)x-1/2
