Find the inverse of: f(x) = (2x + 3)/(x - 4)

To find the inverse of a function, f-1(x):1) set f(x) as y: y =  (2x + 3)/(x - 4)2) swap x and y: x = (2y + 3)/(y -4)3) solve the new equation for y: x(y -4) = 2y + 3 = xy -4x2y - xy = -4x - 3y(2 - x) = -4x -3y = (-4x-3)/(2-x) = f-1(x)

You are given two equations: 3y-2x=11 and y+x=12. By solving simultaneously, what is the value of x and the value of y.


Complete the square and hence sketch the graph of f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 7


Solving simultaneous questions, e.g. 3x + y = 11 and 2x + y = 8
