FITNESS Alejandro is a personal trainer. For his clients to gain the maximum benefit from their exercise, Alejandro calculates their maximum target heart rate using the function f(x) = 0.85(220 – x), where x represents the age of the client. Find the inverse of this function and interpret its meaning in the context of the situation.

1). = (200 - )

2). Inverse function represents the age of the client and 'x' represents the maximum heart rate of the client.

Step-by-step explanation:

Function representing the maximum heart rate is,

f(x) = 0.85(220 - x)

Here x = age of the client

Equation form of the function will be,

y = 0.85(220 - x)

To get the inverse of the given function, replace 'x' by 'y' and 'y' by 'x' and solve for y.

x = 0.85(220 - y)

220 - y =

y = 220 -

Now convert this equation into a function.

= (200 - )

Here inverse function represents the age of the client and 'x' represents the maximum heart rate of the client.
