Question 8 • Mathematics I

What is the inverse of the function f of x is equal to 1 fourth x minus 12 ?

Answer
A
h of x is equal to 48x minus 4
B
h of x is equal to 4x plus 48
C
h of x is equal to 4x minus 48
D
h of x is equal to 48x plus 4

Explanation

Write the function as y = x/4 − 12, then swap x and y: x = y/4 − 12. Add 12 to both sides and multiply by 4 to get y = 4x + 48. Therefore, the inverse is h(x) = 4x + 48, choice B.
