Show answers and working
1. -5
Replace x with -1: 5 × (-1) + 0. = -5
2. -12
Replace x with -4: 5 × (-4) + 8. = -12
3. -18
Replace x with -2: 6 × (-2) − 6. = -18
4. 17
Replace x with 2: 5 × 2 + 7. = 17
5. 24
Replace x with 3: 6 × 3 + 6. = 24
6. 0
Replace x with 1: 4 × 1 − 4. = 0
7. -3
Replace x with -1: 4 × (-1) + 1. = -3
8. -2
Replace x with 0: 6 × 0 − 2. = -2
9. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 8) / 4
Write y = 4x + 8 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 8) / 4.
10. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 8) / 3
Write y = 3x − 8 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 8) / 3.
11. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 6) / 2
Write y = 2x + 6 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 6) / 2.
12. f⁻¹(x) = (x + 4) / 4
Write y = 4x − 4 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x + 4) / 4.
Worked examples
f(x) = 5x − 1. Find f(1).
- Replace x with 1: 5 × 1 − 1.
- = 4
- Answer: 4
f(x) = 5x − 5. Find f(-3).
- Replace x with -3: 5 × (-3) − 5.
- = -20
- Answer: -20
f(x) = 2x + 2. Find the inverse f⁻¹(x).
- Write y = 2x + 2 and swap x and y.
- Rearrange for y: y = (x − 2) / 2.
- Answer: f⁻¹(x) = (x − 2) / 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.
