Show answers and working
  1. 1. -4

    Replace x with -1: 6 × (-1) + 2. = -4

  2. 2. 9

    Replace x with 1: 2 × 1 + 7. = 9

  3. 3. 3

    Replace x with 2: 5 × 2 − 7. = 3

  4. 4. -15

    Replace x with -4: 3 × (-4) − 3. = -15

  5. 5. -15

    Replace x with -3: 3 × (-3) − 6. = -15

  6. 6. 10

    Replace x with 3: 3 × 3 + 1. = 10

  7. 7. 9

    Replace x with 2: 5 × 2 − 1. = 9

  8. 8. -11

    Replace x with -3: 5 × (-3) + 4. = -11

  9. 9. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 6) / 3

    Write y = 3x + 6 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 6) / 3.

  10. 10. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 8) / 6

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

  11. 11. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 4) / 4

    Write y = 4x + 4 and swap x and y. Rearrange for y: y = (x − 4) / 4.

  12. 12. f⁻¹(x) = (x − 3) / 3

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