Question Details

If F : R → R such that f(x) = 5x + 4 then which of the following is equal to f-1(x).

Options

A

(x−5)/4

B

(x-y)/5

C

(x-4)/5

D

(x/4)-5

Correct Answer :

(x-4)/5

Solution :

The correct option is "(x-4)/5".

To find the inverse function f−1(x) of a given function f(x)=5x+4, we follow a systematic step-by-step process:

Step 1: Set the function equal to y
Let y=f(x). This gives us the equation:
y=5x+4

Step 2: Solve the equation for x in terms of y
First, subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:
y−4=5x
Next, isolate x by dividing both sides by 5:
x=y−45

Step 3: Replace x with f−1(y)
Since x=f−1(y), we have:
f−1(y)=y−45

Step 4: Swap the variable y with x to express the inverse function in terms of x
f−1(x)=x−45

This matches the correct option "(x-4)/5".
