Question 67254: If f(x) = (2x+1)/(x-3), then find f-1(x):
Write in the form (no spaces): y=f^(-1)(x)=(mx+b)/(x-c)

If f(x) = (2x+1)/(x-3), then find f^-1(x):
Interchange x and y to get:
x=(2y+1)/(y-3)
Solve for y as follows:
xy-3x=2y+1
xy-2y=3x+1
y(x-2)=3x+1
y=(3x+1)/(x-2)
--------

Write in the form (no spaces): y=f^(-1)(x)=(mx+b)/(x-c)
f^-(x) =(3x+1)/(x-2)
----------------
