Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Given the function f(x) = 3x + 5, find its inverse function f⁻¹(x).
[2 marks]
2.
Calculate f⁻¹(14) for the function f(x) = 2x - 4.
[2 marks]
3.
Construct the graph of y = 2x on the grid and then draw its inverse y = f⁻¹(x).
[2 marks]
4.
If a function f(x) = x² is restricted to x ≥ 0, what is its inverse? Write the inverse function.
[3 marks]
5.
Identify the mistake in the following inverse calculation: Given f(x) = 4x - 7, the inverse is claimed to be f⁻¹(x) = (x + 7) / 4. Is this correct? If not, what is the correct inverse?
[4 marks]
6.
Solve for x: f⁻¹(x) = 5, where f(x) = (x - 2)/3. What is the value of x?
[2 marks]
7.
A function f(x) is given by f(x) = x³. Write the inverse function f⁻¹(x).
[2 marks]
8.
Common misconception: True or False? The inverse of y = 5x + 2 is y = (x - 2)/5.
[1 mark]
9.
Given that f(x) = (2x + 3)/(x - 1), find the inverse function f⁻¹(x).
[3 marks]
10.
Error analysis: A student finds the inverse of f(x) = 2x + 6 as f⁻¹(x) = (x + 6)/2. Identify and correct the mistake.
[4 marks]
11.
Challenge: For the function f(x) = x³ + 1, find the inverse function and describe its domain and range.
[4 marks]
