Determine the inverse of the function. (show work please)

This is easy -- it's just a list of steps.  At this level, the problems are pretty simple.

Let's just do one, then I'll write out the list of steps for you.

Find the inverse off( x ) = -( 1 / 3 )x + 1

STEP 1:  Stick a "y" in for the "f(x)" guy:

y = -( 1 / 3 )x + 1

STEP 2:  Switch the x and y

                   ( because every (x, y) has a (y, x) partner! ):

x = -( 1 / 3 )y + 1

STEP 3:  Solve for y:

x = -( 1 / 3 )y + 1 ... multiply by 3 to ditch the fraction ... 3x = -y + 3 ... ditch the +3 ... subtract 3 from both sides ... 3x - 3 = -y ... multiply by -1 ... -3x + 3 = y ... y = -3x + 3

STEP 4:  Stick in the inverse notation,f^( -1 )( x )

f^( -1 )( x ) = -3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11 -1> 1 -1+ a

-12 > a
