Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Tom used the following steps to find the inverse of fx), but he thinks he made an error.
Step 1
$(x) = 4x - 2
given
Step 2
y = 4x - 2
change f(x) to y
Step 3
= 4y - 2
switch r and y
Step 4
- 2 = 4y
subtract 2 from each side
Step 5
=y
divide each side by 4
Step 6
change y to y-1(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom wanted to find the inverse of f(x)= 4x - 2 using the steps in the attached image.

Tom's first mistake was in Step 3.

To correct the mistake, he should not switch the variables.

The correct procedure is:

Step 1 : Given

f(x) = 4x - 2

Step 2 : Change f(x) to y

y = 4x - 2

Step 3 : Add 2 to both sides

Step 4:  Divide each side by 4

Step 5: Change x to
