For the given inverse functions we have:
a) f⁻¹(5) = 7
b) f(-2) = -3
Remember that if f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions, then:
[tex]f(x) = y\\then\\g(y) = x[/tex]
a) Now we know that:
f(7) = 5
Then if f⁻¹(x) is the inverse, we have:
f⁻¹(5) = 7
b) Now we know that:
f⁻¹(-3) = -2
Again, using the rule for inverse functions, we will have:
f(-2) = -3
