Show answers and working
  1. 1. -16

    Replace x with -3: 4 × (-3) − 4. = -16

  2. 2. 2

    Replace x with -1: 5 × (-1) + 7. = 2

  3. 3. 3

    Replace x with 3: 2 × 3 − 3. = 3

  4. 4. -4

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

  5. 5. -12

    Replace x with -3: 5 × (-3) + 3. = -12

  6. 6. -1

    Replace x with -1: 3 × (-1) + 2. = -1

  7. 7. 24

    Replace x with 3: 6 × 3 + 6. = 24

  8. 8. 14

    Replace x with 2: 3 × 2 + 8. = 14

  9. 9. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 7) / 2

    Write y = 2x − 7 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 7) / 2.

  10. 10. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 8) / 2

    Write y = 2x − 8 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 8) / 2.

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.
