Solution:
Question 2:-
2 x +1
Find the inverse of the function f(x) =
x +2
SOLUTION:
Let y=f(x) = y=2x+1/x+2
2 y +1
X=
y +2
By cross multiplication:
X(y+2) = 2y+1
Xy +2x = 2y+ 1
Xy – 2y = 1 – 2x
Y(x-2) = 1-2x
Dividing both sides by x-2
1− 2 x
Y=
x −2
1− 2 x
Therefore the inverse of f(x) is f-1 (x) =
x −2
