Explanation:

Step1: Find inverse of \( f(x) = \frac{3x}{5} - 17 \)

Let \( y = \frac{3x}{5} - 17 \). Swap \( x \) and \( y \): \( x = \frac{3y}{5} - 17 \). Solve for \( y \):
\( x + 17 = \frac{3y}{5} \) → \( y = \frac{5(x + 17)}{3} \)? Wait, no, wait—wait, original function: \( f(x)=\frac{3x}{5}-17 \)? Wait, no, the first tile is \( f(x)=\frac{3x}{5}-17 \)? Wait, no, the first blue tile: \( f(x)=\frac{3x}{5}-17 \)? Wait, no, looking at the image: first blue tile: \( f(x) = \frac{3x}{5} - 17 \)? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the first inverse is \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3(x + 17)}{2} \)? Wait, no, let's check each function:

1. Function \( f(x) = \frac{3x}{5} - 17 \): Wait, no, maybe the first function is \( f(x)=\frac{3x}{5}-17 \)? Wait, no, the last inverse is \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3(x + 17)}{2} \)? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's take each function:

**Function 1: \( f(x) = \frac{3x}{5} - 17 \)**
Let \( y = \frac{3x}{5} - 17 \). Swap \( x \) and \( y \): \( x = \frac{3y}{5} - 17 \). Solve for \( y \):
\( x + 17 = \frac{3y}{5} \) → \( y = \frac{5(x + 17)}{3} \). Wait, but that's not one of the inverses. Wait, maybe the first function is \( f(x)=\frac{2x}{3}-17 \)? Wait, the last inverse is \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3(x + 17)}{2} \). Let's check:

If \( f(x)=\frac{2x}{3}-17 \), then let \( y=\frac{2x}{3}-17 \). Swap \( x \) and \( y \): \( x=\frac{2y}{3}-17 \). Solve for \( y \):
\( x + 17 = \frac{2y}{3} \) → \( y = \frac{3(x + 17)}{2} \). Yes! So the first function is \( f(x)=\frac{2x}{3}-17 \) (maybe a typo in my initial reading; the blue tile says \( f(x)=\frac{2x}{3}-17 \)? Wait, the image: first blue tile: \( f(x) = \frac{2x}{3} - 17 \)? Let's assume that. So:

- \( f(x)=\frac{2x}{3}-17 \) → inverse: \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3(x + 17)}{2} \) (matches the last inverse).

**Function 2: \( f(x) = x - 10 \)**
Let \( y = x - 10 \). Swap \( x \) and \( y \): \( x = y - 10 \) → \( y = x + 10 \). So inverse is \( f^{-1}(x) = x + 10 \) (matches the third inverse).

**Function 3: \( f(x) = \sqrt[3]{2x} \)**
Let \( y = \sqrt[3]{2x} \). Cube both sides: \( y^3 = 2x \) → \( x = \frac{y^3}{2} \). Swap \( x \) and \( y \): \( y = \frac{x^3}{2} \). So inverse is \( f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x^3}{2} \) (matches the second inverse).

**Function 4: \( f(x) = \frac{x}{5} \)** Wait, no, the fourth blue tile: \( f(x)=\frac{5}{x} \)? Wait, no, the fourth blue tile: \( f(x)=\frac{x}{5} \)? Wait, the first inverse is \( f^{-1}(x)=5x \). Let's check:

If \( f(x)=\frac{x}{5} \), then let \( y=\frac{x}{5} \). Swap \( x \) and \( y \): \( x=\frac{y}{5} \) → \( y=5x \). So inverse is \( f^{-1}(x)=5x \) (matches the first inverse). Wait, but the fourth blue tile: is it \( f(x)=\frac{x}{5} \) or \( f(x)=\frac{5}{x} \)? Wait, the image: fourth blue tile: \( f(x)=\frac{x}{5} \)? Let's confirm:

- \( f(x)=\frac{x}{5} \): inverse is \( f^{-1}(x)=5x \) (first inverse).
- \( f(x)=x - 10 \): inverse is \( f^{-1}(x)=x + 10 \) (third inverse).
- \( f(x)=\sqrt[3]{2x} \): inverse is \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x^3}{2} \) (second inverse).
- \( f(x)=\frac{2x}{3}-17 \): inverse is \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3(x + 17)}{2} \) (fourth inverse).

So matching:

- \( f^{-1}(x)=5x \) → \( f(x)=\frac{x}{5} \)
- \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x^3}{2} \) → \( f(x)=\sqrt[3]{2x} \)
- \( f^{-1}(x)=x + 10 \) → \( f(x)=x - 10 \)
- \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3(x + 17)}{2} \) → \( f(x)=\frac{2x}{3}-17 \) (the first blue tile, which I misread earlier as \( \frac{3x}{5}-17 \); it's actually \( \frac{2x}{3}-17 \))

So the pairs are:

1. \( f^{-1}(x)=5x \) ↔ \( f(x)=\frac{x}{5} \)
2. \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x^3}{2} \) ↔ \( f(x)=\sqrt[3]{2x} \)
3. \( f^{-1}(x)=x + 10 \) ↔ \( f(x)=x - 10 \)
4. \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3(x + 17)}{2} \) ↔ \( f(x)=\frac{2x}{3}-17 \) (the first blue tile)

Step2: Verify each pair

- For \( f(x)=\frac{x}{5} \) and \( f^{-1}(x)=5x \): \( f(f^{-1}(x))=f(5x)=\frac{5x}{5}=x \), and \( f^{-1}(f(x))=f^{-1}(\frac{x}{5})=5(\frac{x}{5})=x \). Correct.
- For \( f(x)=\sqrt[3]{2x} \) and \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x^3}{2} \): \( f(f^{-1}(x))=f(\frac{x^3}{2})=\sqrt[3]{2(\frac{x^3}{2})}=\sqrt[3]{x^3}=x \), and \( f^{-1}(f(x))=f^{-1}(\sqrt[3]{2x})=\frac{(\sqrt[3]{2x})^3}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}=x \). Correct.
- For \( f(x)=x - 10 \) and \( f^{-1}(x)=x + 10 \): \( f(f^{-1}(x))=f(x + 10)=(x + 10) - 10 = x \), and \( f^{-1}(f(x))=f^{-1}(x - 10)=(x - 10) + 10 = x \). Correct.
- For \( f(x)=\frac{2x}{3}-17 \) and \( f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3(x + 17)}{2} \): \( f(f^{-1}(x))=f(\frac{3(x + 17)}{2})=\frac{2}{3}(\frac{3(x + 17)}{2}) - 17 = (x + 17) - 17 = x \), and \( f^{-1}(f(x))=f^{-1}(\frac{2x}{3}-17)=\frac{3((\frac{2x}{3}-17) + 17)}{2}=\frac{3(\frac{2x}{3})}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}=x \). Correct.

Answer:

• \( f^{-1}(x) = 5x \) → \( f(x) = \frac{x}{5} \)
• \( f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x^3}{2} \) → \( f(x) = \sqrt[3]{2x} \)
• \( f^{-1}(x) = x + 10 \) → \( f(x) = x - 10 \)
• \( f^{-1}(x) = \frac{3(x + 17)}{2} \) → \( f(x) = \frac{2x}{3} - 17 \)

(Assuming the first blue tile is \( f(x)=\frac{2x}{3}-17 \) and the fourth is \( f(x)=\frac{x}{5} \); adjust based on exact tile labels, but this is the correct matching via inverse function steps.)
