Show answers and working
1. 17
Replace x with 5: 5 × 5 − 8. = 17
2. 5
Replace x with 1: 5 × 1 + 0. = 5
3. -15
Replace x with -3: 4 × (-3) − 3. = -15
4. 21
Replace x with 4: 5 × 4 + 1. = 21
5. 2
Replace x with 0: 4 × 0 + 2. = 2
6. 6
Replace x with 1: 4 × 1 + 2. = 6
7. 28
Replace x with 5: 6 × 5 − 2. = 28
8. -8
Replace x with 0: 5 × 0 − 8. = -8
9. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 1) / 6
Write y = 6x − 1 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 1) / 6.
10. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 2) / 4
Write y = 4x + 2 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 2) / 4.
11. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 5) / 3
Write y = 3x + 5 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 5) / 3.
12. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 7) / 4
Write y = 4x + 7 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 7) / 4.
Worked examples
f(x) = 6x − 5. Find f(2).
- Replace x with 2: 6 × 2 − 5.
- = 7
- Answer: 7
f(x) = 4x + 2. Find f(-3).
- Replace x with -3: 4 × (-3) + 2.
- = -10
- Answer: -10
f(x) = 6x − 2. Find the inverse f⁻¹(x).
- Write y = 6x − 2 and swap x and y.
- Rearrange for y: y = (x + 2) / 6.
- Answer: f⁻¹(x) = (x + 2) / 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.
