Given f(x) = k(2+x), find the value of k if f^-1 (-2) = -3

f(x) = k(2+x)


First we will
rewrite:


y= k(2+ x)


Let us determine
the inverse .


==> We will divide by
k.


==> (x+2) = y/k


==> x
= (y/k) - 2


Now we will replace x and
y.


==> y= (x/k) - 2


Then the
inverse function is given by:


f^-1 (x) = (x/k)
-2


Now given that f^-1 ( -2) =
-3


==> f^-1 (-2) = (-2/k) -2 =
-3


We will add 2 to both
sides.


==> -2/k = -1


Now we will
multiply by k.


==> -2 =
-k


==> k =
2
