Question 978200: The one to one function f is defined on the domain x>0 by f(x) = (2x-1)/(x+2).
A) State the range, A, of f.
B) Obtain an expression for f^(-1) (x) for x∈A.
I am assuming that the letter A is only a variable used to represent the range of f(x). If that is the case, how can an expression be made for the inverse function?

That expression is essentially switching the places or roles of x and y. You want a function that will give you x.

Try not using the "...to the negative one power" type notation. You want a function g(x) so that f(x) and g(x) will undo each other. That means that .

You have your specific definition for f(x). You want to use some other function g(x) AS INPUT to f(x) and the OUTPUT must be x.

.

Form that last-specified composition:


Solve that equation for g(x).
The inverse of f(x) will be g(x).
