Math Problem Statement

Fungsi f: R → R didefinisikan sebagai f(x) = (2x - 1) / (3x + 4), dengan x ≠ -4/3. Invers dari fungsi f adalah f^(-1)(x) = ....

Solution

The given function is:

f(x)=2x13x+4f(x) = \frac{2x - 1}{3x + 4}

with the condition x43x \neq -\frac{4}{3}.

We are tasked with finding the inverse function f1(x)f^{-1}(x).

Steps to find the inverse function:

  1. Replace f(x)f(x) with yy: y=2x13x+4y = \frac{2x - 1}{3x + 4}

  2. Switch xx and yy to find the inverse: x=2y13y+4x = \frac{2y - 1}{3y + 4}

  3. Solve for yy (the inverse function):

    • Multiply both sides by 3y+43y + 4: x(3y+4)=2y1x(3y + 4) = 2y - 1
    • Expand: 3xy+4x=2y13xy + 4x = 2y - 1
    • Collect terms involving yy on one side: 3xy2y=14x3xy - 2y = -1 - 4x
    • Factor out yy on the left-hand side: y(3x2)=14xy(3x - 2) = -1 - 4x
    • Solve for yy: y=14x3x2y = \frac{-1 - 4x}{3x - 2}

Thus, the inverse function is:

f1(x)=14x3x2f^{-1}(x) = \frac{-1 - 4x}{3x - 2}

Here are five related questions to explore:

  1. How do you verify that a function and its inverse are correct?
  2. What are the conditions for a function to have an inverse?
  3. How do you graph a function and its inverse on the same plane?
  4. What does the inverse of a function represent geometrically?
  5. How does the domain and range of a function change with its inverse?

Tip: Always remember that a function must be one-to-one (bijective) to have an inverse, meaning it passes both the vertical and horizontal line tests.
