Answer

The inverse of the function $f\left( x \right)=x-10$ is ${{f}^{-1}}\left( x \right)=x+10$.

Work Step by Step

$f\left( x \right)=x-10$ Evaluate the inverse of the function $f\left( x \right)=x-10$ as follows. Replace the function $f\left( x \right)$ with $y$. $y=x-10$ Interchange the variables $x$ and $y$. $x=y-10$ Solve for the value of y. $y=x+10$ Replace y with ${{f}^{-1}}\left( x \right)$ as follows. ${{f}^{-1}}\left( x \right)=x+10$
