Let
f(x) = \frac{2x + 5}{x - 4} + \frac{x^2 + 1}{4x - 3}.
Find the inverse $f^{-1}(x)$.

\(f(x) = \frac{2x + 5}{x - 4} + \frac{x^2 + 1}{4x - 3}\)

\(y = \frac{2x + 5}{x - 4} + \frac{x^2 + 1}{4x - 3}\)

\(x= \frac{2y + 5}{y - 4} + \frac{y^2 + 1}{4y - 3}\)

\(x(y-4)(4y-3)= (2y + 5)(4y-3) + (y^2 + 1)(y-4)\)

\(4xy^2-19xy+12x= y^3+4y^2+15y-19\)

\(y^2(4x-4)-y(19x+15)+12x= y^3-19\)

Honestly, Idk what to do from here, but you have to solve for y in this equation. My idea would be to pile them into a cubic and try solving for x that way but.... I have doubts.
