Question 454648
Show that the function f(x)=1/(x-2) is one-to-one via cketching its graph. Then find its inverse function
..
{{{ graph( 300, 300, -10, 10, -10, 10, 1/(x-2)) }}}
..
As you can see from the graph above, f(x) is a one-to-one function, that is, for each x, there is only one y. To find its inverse, interchange x and y, then solve for y.
y=1/(x-2)
x=1/y-2
xy-2x=1
f(x)(inverse)=(1+2x)/x
