how do I graph the function and it's inverse
if you take the original equation, it's in y equals mx +b form so y intercept is 3 and the slope is negative 3. the inverse equation is when you put x in for y and vise versa. so x equals -3y +3. then solve for y and graph the new y =mx+b equation.
Answer:
The graph both functions in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
\(f(x)=-3x+3\)
Find the inverse of f(x)
Let
\(y=f(x)\)
\(y=-3x+3\)
Exchange the variables x for y and y for x
\(x=-3y+3\)
Isolate the variable y
\(3y=-x+3\)
\(y=-\frac{1}{3}x+1\)
Let
\(f^{-1}(x)=y\)
\(f^{-1}(x)=-\frac{1}{3}x+1\) -----> inverse function
To graph the functions find the intercepts
The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero
For \(f(x)=-3x+3\)
The y-intercept is the point \((0,3)\)
The x-intercept is the point \((1,0)\)
For \(f^{-1}(x)=-\frac{1}{3}x+1\)
The y-intercept is the point \((0,1)\)
The x-intercept is the point \((3,0)\)
plot the intercepts both functions to graph the linear equations
