key idea

A function is a rule that sends each input

(

-value)

to exactly one output

(

)

-value).

A function is invertible if each possible output is produced by exactly one input.

If a function

(

)

is invertible, its inverse is written

–

(

)

The inverse

–

(

)

takes output values of

(

)

and produces input values. That is:

–

(

)

if and only if

(

)

solution

Let

–

(

–

)

This means

is the number such that

(

)

–

To find

look for the row in the table with an

(

)

-value

–

x	f ( x )
5	– 44
6	– 53
7	– 62
8	– 71
9	– 80

The

-value

7 produces the

(

)

-value
