Verify that the function f -1 (x)= (x-1)/2 is the inverse of f(x)= 2x+1 by showing that f (f-1(x))=f-1(f(x)) = x.
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "f^-1[f(x)] = f^-1[2x+1] = (2x+1-1)/2 = 2x/2 = x
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "f[f^-1(x)] = f[(x-1)/2] = 2[(x-1)/2]+1 = x-1+1 = x
