First, we need to determine the expression of the inverse
function, then we'll determine it's value.
We'll put f(x) =
y
y = 2x - 7
Now, we'll move
2x to the left and y to the right:
-2x = -y -
7
We'll divide both sides by -2 to isolate
x:
x = y/2 + 7/2
The
expression of the inverse function is f^-1(x) = x/2 +
7/2
Now, we'll calculate
f^-1(1):
f^-1(1) = 1/2 +
7/2
f^-1(1) = 8/2
f^-1(1) =
4
Therefore, the value of the inverse
function f^-1(x), at x = 1, is f^-1(1) = 4.
