Chapter 5: Q. 70 (page 269)

the function f is one-to-one. Find its inverse and check your answer.
$f (x) = \frac{- 3 x - 4}{x - 2}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The inverse of the function $f (x) = \frac{- 3 x - 4}{x - 2}$ is $f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{2 x - 4}{x + 3} x 鈮� - 3$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given data

The given function is $f (x) = \frac{- 3 x - 4}{x - 2}$

Step 2. interchanging variables

Replace $f (x)$ with y and interchange x and y

$f (x) = \frac{- 3 x - 4}{x - 2} y = \frac{- 3 x - 4}{x - 2} x = \frac{- 3 y - 4}{y - 2}$

Step 3. The inverse of the function

Solve the equation for y

$x = \frac{- 3 y - 4}{y - 2} x (y - 2) = - 3 y - 4 x y - 2 x = - 3 y - 4 x y + 3 y = 2 x - 4 y (x + 3) = 2 x - 4 y = \frac{2 x - 4}{x + 3}$

replace $y$ with $f^{- 1} (x)$

role="math" localid="1646160883591" $f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{2 x - 4}{x + 3} x 鈮� - 3$

Step 4. Verification

Determine $f (f^{- 1} (x))$

$f (f^{- 1} (x)) = f (\frac{2 x - 4}{x + 3}) f (f^{- 1} (x)) = \frac{- 3 (\frac{2 x - 4}{x + 3}) - 4}{(\frac{2 x - 4}{x + 3}) - 2} f (f^{- 1} (x)) = \frac{- 3 (2 x - 4) - 4 (x + 3)}{(2 x - 4) - 2 (x + 3)} f (f^{- 1} (x)) = \frac{- 6 x + 12 - 4 x - 12}{2 x - 4 - 2 x - 6} f (f^{- 1} (x)) = \frac{- 10 x}{- 10} f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$

determine $f^{- 1} (f (x))$

$f^{- 1} (f (x)) = f^{- 1} (\frac{- 3 x - 4}{x - 2}) f^{- 1} (f (x)) = \frac{2 (\frac{- 3 x - 4}{x - 2}) - 4}{(\frac{- 3 x - 4}{x - 2}) + 3} f^{- 1} (f (x)) = \frac{2 (- 3 x - 4) - 4 (x - 2)}{(- 3 x - 4) + 3 (x - 2)} f^{- 1} (f (x)) = \frac{- 6 x - 8 - 4 x + 8}{- 3 x - 4 + 3 x - 6} f^{- 1} (f (x)) = \frac{- 10 x}{- 10} f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$

localid="1646178687892" $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x a n d f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ so inverse function is correct
