Show answers and working
1. 32
Replace x with 5: 6 × 5 + 2. = 32
2. -3
Replace x with -1: 2 × (-1) − 1. = -3
3. 12
Replace x with 4: 2 × 4 + 4. = 12
4. 8
Replace x with 3: 5 × 3 − 7. = 8
5. -2
Replace x with -2: 2 × (-2) + 2. = -2
6. -17
Replace x with -3: 4 × (-3) − 5. = -17
7. 0
Replace x with -3: 2 × (-3) + 6. = 0
8. 2
Replace x with 0: 2 × 0 + 2. = 2
9. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 5) / 5
Write y = 5x − 5 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 5) / 5.
10. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 0) / 5
Write y = 5x + 0 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 0) / 5.
11. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 6) / 5
Write y = 5x − 6 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 6) / 5.
12. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 1) / 5
Write y = 5x − 1 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 1) / 5.
Worked examples
f(x) = 2x − 5. Find f(-1).
- Replace x with -1: 2 × (-1) − 5.
- = -7
- Answer: -7
f(x) = 2x + 1. Find f(6).
- Replace x with 6: 2 × 6 + 1.
- = 13
- Answer: 13
f(x) = 3x − 4. Find the inverse f⁻¹(x).
- Write y = 3x − 4 and swap x and y.
- Rearrange for y: y = (x + 4) / 3.
- Answer: f⁻¹(x) = (x + 4) / 3

Common mistakes
What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.
Reads f(3) as f × 3.
Correction: f(3) means 'put 3 into the rule'.
Reverses operations in the wrong order for the inverse.
Correction: Undo the last step first.
Teacher tips
- · Use function machines before notation.
Parent tips
- · Play 'guess my rule' with numbers.
Real-life applications
- · Converting temperatures, phone-plan costs.
