Show answers and working
  1. 1. -15

    Replace x with -4: 5 × (-4) + 5. = -15

  2. 2. -3

    Replace x with 1: 5 × 1 − 8. = -3

  3. 3. 22

    Replace x with 5: 6 × 5 − 8. = 22

  4. 4. -10

    Replace x with -2: 5 × (-2) + 0. = -10

  5. 5. 10

    Replace x with 3: 5 × 3 − 5. = 10

  6. 6. 4

    Replace x with -1: 4 × (-1) + 8. = 4

  7. 7. 24

    Replace x with 3: 6 × 3 + 6. = 24

  8. 8. -2

    Replace x with -3: 2 × (-3) + 4. = -2

  9. 9. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 5) / 5

    Write y = 5x + 5 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 5) / 5.

  10. 10. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 5) / 6

    Write y = 6x − 5 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 5) / 6.

  11. 11. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 3) / 2

    Write y = 2x + 3 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 3) / 2.

  12. 12. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 8) / 6

    Write y = 6x − 8 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 8) / 6.

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.
