(a) Let \(f : (-\infty,0) \cup (0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}\) be defined by \(f(x) = x - \frac{1}{x}.\) Show that f has no inverse function.

(b) Let \(g : (0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}\) be defined by \(g(x) = x - \frac{1}{x}\) Show that g has an inverse function.

 

I know somebody already posted this. But how would you figure it out without plotting the graph of the function and instead do the work algebraically.

For these kinds of problems, you can just graph the function, then use the Horizontal Line Test.
