Math Problem Statement

Diketahui f(x-1) = (x-1)/(2x-1), maka hasil dari f^(-1)(2x-1) adalah?

Solution

The given question asks for the inverse of a function f(x1)=x12x1, with x12f(x-1) = \frac{x-1}{2x-1}, \text{ with } x \neq \frac{1}{2}, and how to find f1(2x1)f^{-1}(2x-1).

Steps to find the inverse function:

  1. Express the function f(y)=y12y1f(y) = \frac{y - 1}{2y - 1}, where y=x1y = x - 1.

  2. Solve for yy in terms of f(y)f(y): f(y)=y12y1f(y) = \frac{y - 1}{2y - 1} Let z=f(y)z = f(y), so: z=y12y1z = \frac{y - 1}{2y - 1} Multiply both sides by 2y12y - 1 to eliminate the denominator: z(2y1)=y1z(2y - 1) = y - 1 Expanding both sides: 2zyz=y12zy - z = y - 1 Rearranging to collect yy-terms on one side: 2zyy=z12zy - y = z - 1 Factor out yy on the left: y(2z1)=z1y(2z - 1) = z - 1 Solving for yy: y=z12z1y = \frac{z - 1}{2z - 1}

  3. The inverse function is: f1(x)=x12x1f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 1}{2x - 1}

  4. Apply the inverse function to 2x12x - 1: f1(2x1)=(2x1)12(2x1)1f^{-1}(2x - 1) = \frac{(2x - 1) - 1}{2(2x - 1) - 1} Simplify the numerator and the denominator: f1(2x1)=2x24x21=2x24x3f^{-1}(2x - 1) = \frac{2x - 2}{4x - 2 - 1} = \frac{2x - 2}{4x - 3} Factor out the 2 from the numerator: f1(2x1)=2(x1)4x3f^{-1}(2x - 1) = \frac{2(x - 1)}{4x - 3}

Thus, the correct answer is:

b.2x14x3,x34\boxed{b. \frac{2x - 1}{4x - 3}, x \neq \frac{3}{4}}
