by 2, causing the vertical stretch, and then add 3, causing the vertical shift. In other words, multiplication before addition. Horizontal transformations are a little trickier to think about. When we write g(x) = f (2x + 3), for example, we have to think about how the inputs to the function g relate to the inputs to ...

expression f βˆ’1(70), 70 is an output value of the original function, representing 70 miles. The inverse will return the corresponding input of the original function f, 90 minutes, so f βˆ’1(70) = 90. The interpretation of this is that, to drive 70 miles, it took 90 minutes. Alternatively, recall that the definition of t...
