Question 32716: Inverse Coefficients of a Nonzero-Slope Affine Function

Original question and givens

Over R, let f:R→R be f(x)=(-16)x+(3), with m≠0. Write the inverse as g(y)=uy+v and give (u,v) as reduced positive-denominator fractions, retaining /1 for integers.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

source roles = [qf-inverse-affine-coefficients, affine_inverse_coefficients, reals, []]

derived = [[SLOPE_FIRST_pair_fractions_RETAIN1]]

Affine inverse ORIGINAL reciprocal nonzero slope := div(1, -16)

Affine inverse ORIGINAL reciprocal nonzero slope = -1/16

Affine inverse ORIGINAL negative constant := sub(0, 3)

Affine inverse ORIGINAL negative constant = -3

Affine inverse ORIGINAL negative b over m := div(-3, -16)

Affine inverse ORIGINAL negative b over m = 3/16

Affine inverse reverse g after f slope := mul(-1/16, -16)

Affine inverse reverse g after f slope = 1

Affine inverse reverse u times original b := mul(-1/16, 3)

Affine inverse reverse u times original b = -3/16

Affine inverse reverse g after f constant := sum(-3/16, 3/16)

Affine inverse reverse g after f constant = 0

Affine inverse reverse f after g slope := mul(-16, -1/16)

Affine inverse reverse f after g slope = 1

Affine inverse reverse m times inverse constant := mul(-16, 3/16)

Affine inverse reverse m times inverse constant = -3

Affine inverse reverse f after g constant := sum(-3, 3)

Affine inverse reverse f after g constant = 0

source roles = [-16, 3]

derived = [-1/16, 3/16, 1, 0, 1, 0]
