Given the function f(x)= x+1/x-3 Find the inverse of f(x). (use parenthesis to type your answer)
We want to get x by itself.......so we have
y = (x + 1) / (x - 3) multiply both sides by x -3
y(x - 3) = x + 1 simplify
yx - 3y = x + 1
yx - x = 1 + 3y
x(y - 1) = 1 + 3y
x = (1 + 3y) / (y - 1) "exchange" x and y
y = (1 + 3x) / (x - 1) for "y," write f-1(x)
f-1(x) = (1 + 3x) / (x - 1)
Here's the graph of f(x) and f-1(x).....
