Question:
Determine the inverse of the function: ℎ(𝑥) = 2𝑥−3/(1−𝑥)
Answers: f-1 (x)= x+3
2+x
Work: we replace h(x) with y, y= 2x-3
1-x
We then swap the y for x, x = 2y–3
1-x
Solve for y, x(1–y) = 2y–3
x-xy= 2y–3
2y+xy = x +3. Then factor out y.
y(2+x) =x+3. Divide both sides with 2+x to get
the value of y.
y = x+3
2+x
Finally, we rewrite y as inverse of the function, f-1 .
f-1(x) = x+3
2+x
