Q8 of 215 Page 3

If, show that (fof)(x) = x for all. What is the inverse of f?

We have


We know (fof)(x) = f(f(x))








As (fof)(x) = x = Ix (the identity function), f(x) = f-1(x).


Thus,

Show that the function f : R → R defined by f(x) = 4x + 3 is invertible. Find the inverse of f.

Consider f : R+→ [4, ∞) given by f(x) = x2 + 4. Show that f is invertible with f-1 of f given by, where R+ is the set of all non-negative real numbers.

Consider f : R+→ [–5, ∞) given by f(x) = 9x2 + 6x – 5. Show that f is invertible with.

If f : R → R be defined by f(x) = x3 – 3, then prove that f-1 exists and find a formula for f-1. Hence, find f-1(24) and f-1(5).
