Question
The function f-1 is an inverse function of f if f(ƒ −¹(x)) = ƒ−¹(f(x)).
To verify, consider f(x) = 5x – 8 and ƒ −¹(x)
f(f−¹(x)) = f−¹(f(x))
f(f-1(x)) = f (x + 8)
5
Hence,
= 5(x + 8).
5
= x + 8 - 8
=
ƒ−¹(f(x)) = f−¹(
||
(5x
-
8
8) + 8
5
f(f−¹(x)) = f−¹(f(x))
So the domain of f inverse is not
=
X + 8
5
- 8)
the range of f.
