Answer :
Answer: -7 < x < 17
====================================================
Explanation:
Plug in the lower bound of the domain, which is x = -3
f(x) = 3x+2
f(-3) = 3(-3)+2
f(-3) = -9+2
f(-3) = -7
If x = -3, then the output is y = -7. Since f(x) is an increasing function (due to the positive slope), we know that y = -7 is the lower bound of the range.
If you plugged in x = 5, you should find that f(5) = 17 making this the upper bound of the range.
The range of f(x) is -7 < y < 17
Recall that the domain and range swap places when going from the original function f(x) to the inverse [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex]
This swap happens because how x and y change places when determining the inverse itself. In other words, you go from y = 3x+2 to x = 3y+2. Solving for y gets us y = (x-2)/3 which is the inverse.
-----------------------
In short, we found the range of f(x) is -7 < y < 17.
That means the domain of the inverse is -7 < x < 17 since the domain and range swap roles when going from original to inverse.
The domain of the resulting function exists on all real values that is the domain is -∞ < f-1(x) < ∞
How to find the domain of an inverse function?
The domain of a function are the independent values of the function for Which it exists.
Given the function f(x) = 3x + 2
Find its inverse
y = 3x + 2
Replace x with y
x = 3y + 2
Make y the subject of the formula:
3y = x - 2
y = (x-2)/3
The domain of the resulting function exists on all real values that is the domain is -∞ < f-1(x) < ∞
