  1. On a worksheet, f(x) = (x + 5)/3. Pia finds the inverse as one x-term and one number. Type fractions like 1/2. What is f⁻¹(x)?

  2. In a notebook, Ren has f(x) = 6 − 2x. Write f⁻¹(x) as one x-term and one number. What is it?

  3. Tala finds the inverse of f(x) = (2x − 1)/5 in pencil, as one x-term and one number. What is f⁻¹(x)?

  4. On a puzzle card, f(x) = 9 − 3x. Zee needs f⁻¹(x) as one x-term and one number. What is it?

  5. On a worksheet, f(x) = √(x − 2) for x ≥ 2. Ari writes the rule for f⁻¹, which has the domain x ≥ 0. Type powers like x^2. What is f⁻¹(x)?

  6. In a notebook, Bo inverts f(x) = √(x + 5) for x ≥ -5. The inverse has domain x ≥ 0. What is the rule for f⁻¹(x)?

  7. On a puzzle card, f(x) = √x − 4 for x ≥ 0. Jun needs the rule for f⁻¹(x), for x ≥ -4. What is it?

  8. On a worksheet, f(x) = x² − 6x + 10 is a parabola. Kira keeps its right half so f has an inverse. Which domain does that?

    • x ≥ 0
    • x ≥ 3
    • x ≥ 6
    • x ≥ -3
  9. Milo works in pencil with f(x) = x² − 2x − 4. Keeping only the left half gives an inverse. Which domain is that?

    • x ≤ 1
    • x ≤ -1
    • x ≤ 2
    • x ≤ 0
  10. On a puzzle card, f(x) = (x + 4)² + 2. Noah keeps the left half of the parabola for an inverse. Which domain is that?

    • x ≤ -4
    • x ≤ 4
    • All real numbers
    • x ≤ 0
