Start with the given function. The domain here is that "x" can be any real number except


Replace f(x) with y


Swap x and y


Multiply both sides by y-2


Distribute


Add to both sides.


Subtract from both sides.


Rearrange the terms.


Factor out the GCF "y"


Divide both sides by x-5



So the inverse function is . The domain here is that "x" can be any real number except

INVERSE of a number is reciprocal, ie 2, inv 2 = 1/2
however inverse of FUNCTION indicates a function that is reflected over y=x
Normally this is solved by substituting x for y ,,,, and y for x
f(x) =(5x-3) / (x-2)
but f(x) =y
y = (5x-3) / (x-2) DOMAIN is all REAL numbers except x=2
inverting
x = (5y-3) / (y-2)
or (y-2) = (5y-3) /x Domain is all REAL numbers except x=0
