Two functions f and g are defined by f : x maps to x-1/x+1 , x is not equal to -1 and g : x maps to mx + c,where m and c are constants. Find an expression for f^-1. Given that g^-1(3) = f^-1(2) and that f^-1g(4) = 1,find the value of m and c
            
     
                                                                                                                                                                                            
       Since matrix%281%2C3%2C+g%5E%28-+1%29%283%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+f%5E%28-+1%29%282%29%29, we get:
             

  Since matrix%281%2C3%2C+f%5E%28-+1%29%28x%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+%28-+x+-+1%29%2F%28x+-+1%29%29 and matrix%281%2C3%2C+g%284%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+4m+%2B+c%29, then     ;      matrix%281%2C4%2C+f%5E%28-+1%29%28g%284%29%29%2C+also%2C+%22=%22%2C+1%29
We then get: 

                      3 = c - 3m ----- eq (i)
                      3 = - 4m - 3m ------- Substituting - 4m for c in eq (i)
                      3 = - 7m
                     

                      4m = c ----- eq (ii)
                      4m = c ------- Substituting - 4m for c in eq (ii)
