Hello!

The answer is:

The first option,

[tex]f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-2}{4}[/tex]

Why?

To find the inverse of a function, we need to rewrite the variable "x" with "y" and the variable "y" with "x", and then, isolate "y".

We are given the function:

[tex]f(x)=4x+2[/tex]

Write "f(x)" is equal to write "y", so:

[tex]y=4x+2[/tex]

Now, finding the inverse, we have:

[tex]y=4x+2\\x=4y+2\\x-2=4y\\y=\frac{x-2}{4}[/tex]

Hence, we have that the answer is the first option,

[tex]f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-2}{4}[/tex]

Have a nice day!

ANSWER

[tex]{f}^{ - 1} (x) = \frac{x - 2}{4} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given function is

f(x)=4x+2

To find the inverse, we let

y=4x+2

Then, interchange x and y.

x=4y+2

Solve for y,

x-2=4y.

Divide both sides by 4

[tex]y = \frac{x - 2}{4} [/tex]

Hence, the inverse is:

[tex] {f}^{ - 1} (x) = \frac{x - 2}{4} [/tex]
