Answer:
A. [tex]f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x+8}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given a function [tex]f(x)=9x-8[/tex]. We are asked to find the inverse function for our given function.
First of all, we will rewrite [tex]f(x)[/tex] as [tex]y[/tex] as:
[tex]y=9x-8[/tex]
To find the inverse function, we will interchange x and y variables and then solve for y.
[tex]x=9y-8[/tex]
Now, we will add 8 on both sides of our given equation.
[tex]x+8=9y-8+8[/tex]
[tex]x+8=9y[/tex]
Switch sides:
[tex]9y=x+8[/tex]
Now, we will divide both sides of our equation by 9.
[tex]\frac{9y}{9}=\frac{x+8}{9}[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{x+8}{9}[/tex]
Now, we will replace [tex]y[/tex] with [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex] as:
[tex]f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x+8}{9}[/tex]
Therefore, the inverse function for our given function would be [tex]f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x+8}{9}[/tex] and option A is the correct choice.
