Math Problem Statement
Compute f(f−1(x))**.**Find the equation for the inverse f−1(x).
Solution
To solve the problem, we will first find the inverse of the function , then compute .
Step 1: Find the equation for the inverse
To find the inverse, follow these steps:
- Start with .
- Swap and : .
- Solve for , which gives .
The function you are working with is not provided, so I'll explain the general approach. If you have a specific function in mind, please provide it, and I'll apply the steps to that particular function.
Step 2: Compute
For any function and its inverse , the identity holds true. This means that when you compose a function with its inverse, the result is always the original input .
Thus, .
