The inverse of the expression y = 5 · (x - 6)² - 5 is x = √[(y + 5) / 5] + 6. (Correct choice: D)
How to determine the inverse of a function
According to the statement we have a function of the form y = f(x) and we need to find its inverse, that is, finding the equation of x in terms of y. This can be done by using algebra properties:
y = 5 · (x - 6)² - 5 Given
y = 5 · [(x - 6)² - 1] Distributive property
y / 5 + 1 = (x - 6)² Compatibilities with multiplication and addition / Existence of additive and multiplicative inverses / Associative and modulative properties
x - 6 = √(y / 5 + 1) Definition of square root / Symmetric property
x = √(y / 5 + 1) + 6 Compatibility with addition / Existence of additive inverse / Associative, commutative and modulative properties
x = √[(y + 5) / 5] + 6 Addition of fractions with different denominators / Result
