Show answers and working
1. 17
Replace x with 2: 5 × 2 + 7. = 17
2. -10
Replace x with -1: 6 × (-1) − 4. = -10
3. 18
Replace x with 5: 3 × 5 + 3. = 18
4. 8
Replace x with 2: 2 × 2 + 4. = 8
5. 22
Replace x with 4: 4 × 4 + 6. = 22
6. 8
Replace x with 3: 4 × 3 − 4. = 8
7. -17
Replace x with -3: 3 × (-3) − 8. = -17
8. 9
Replace x with 5: 3 × 5 − 6. = 9
9. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 7) / 5
Write y = 5x − 7 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 7) / 5.
10. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 3) / 2
Write y = 2x − 3 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 3) / 2.
11. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 3) / 3
Write y = 3x + 3 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 3) / 3.
12. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 5) / 2
Write y = 2x − 5 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 5) / 2.
Worked examples
f(x) = 2x − 6. Find f(2).
- Replace x with 2: 2 × 2 − 6.
- = -2
- Answer: -2
f(x) = 4x − 7. Find f(-3).
- Replace x with -3: 4 × (-3) − 7.
- = -19
- Answer: -19
f(x) = 3x + 1. Find the inverse f⁻¹(x).
- Write y = 3x + 1 and swap x and y.
- Rearrange for y: y = (x − 1) / 3.
- Answer: f⁻¹(x) = (x − 1) / 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.
