Question : 11 of 29
 
Marks: +1, -0
Show that the function f in A = R - {23} defined as f(x) = 4x+36x−4 is one-one and onto.
Hence find f−1
Solution:
f(x) = 4x+36x−4
Let f (x1) = f (x2)
⇒ 4x1+36x1−4 = 4x2+36x2−4
⇒ 24 x1x2 - 16 x1 + 18 x2 - 12 = 24 x1x2 + 18 x1 - 16 x2 - 12
⇒ 18 x2 + 16 x2 = 18 x1 + 16 x1
⇒ 34 x2 = 34 x1
Since, 4x1+36x1−4 is a real number, therefore, for every y in the co-domain of f, there exists a number x in R - {23} such that f(x) = y = 4x1+36x1−4
Therefore, f(x) is onto.
Hence, f−1 exists.
Now, let y = 4x1+36x1−4
⇒ 6xy - 4y = 4x + 3
⇒ 6xy - 4xx = 4y + 3
⇒ x (6y - 4) = 4y+ 3
⇒ x = 4y+36y−4
⇒ y = 4x+36x−4 int exchanging the variables x and y
⇒ f−1 (x) = 4x+36x−4 [put y = f−1 x]
