Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's work through the problem in the image for .
(a) Domain of :
The function is a linear function, which means it is defined for all real values of . Therefore, the domain of is:
(b) Range of :
Since is a linear function with no restrictions, the range is also all real numbers. As takes on any real value, covers all real numbers. Hence, the range of is:
(c) Formula for (Inverse of ):
To find the inverse, we follow these steps:
- Start with the equation: .
- Solve for :
- Replace with to get the inverse function:
(d) Domain of :
Since the domain of the inverse function is the range of the original function, and we found that the range of is all real numbers, the domain of is:
(e) Range of :
The range of is the same as the domain of the original function , which is also all real numbers. Hence, the range of is:
