Find f^-1(x) where
f(x) = 3x+2/x


Sagot :

Given:

Consider the function is

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{3x+2}{x}[/tex]

To find:

The inverse of the function, .i.e., [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex].

Solution:

We have,

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{3x+2}{x}[/tex]

Putting f(x)=y, we get

[tex]x=\dfrac{3y+2}{y}[/tex]

Isolate the variable y.

[tex]xy=3y+2[/tex]

[tex]xy-3y=2[/tex]

[tex]y(x-3)=2[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{2}{x-3}[/tex]

Putting [tex]y=f^{-1}(x)[/tex], we get

[tex]f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{2}{x-3}[/tex]

Therefore, the inverse function is [tex]f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{2}{x-3}[/tex].
