What is the process for finding 2y = x + 2 in an inverse function?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The process for finding the inverse function of the equation 2y = x + 2 involves multiplying each term by 2 to isolate y. This manipulation leads to the simplified form of the equation, where 2y is derived from multiplying y by 2, x remains unchanged after multiplying by 1, and the constant term becomes 2. This method effectively demonstrates the steps required to derive the inverse function from the original equation.

They simply multiply every term by 2.
2 * y -> 2y
2 * ##\frac12## x -> x
2 * 1 -> 2
