f(x) = (x + b) / (x − 2), b > −2 and constant

검증된 단계별 안내

Start by writing the function explicitly: \(f(x) = \frac{x + b}{x - 2}\), where \(b > -2\) is a constant.

To find the inverse function \(f^{-1}(x)\), set \(y = \frac{x + b}{x - 2}\) and then interchange \(x\) and \(y\) to get \(x = \frac{y + b}{y - 2}\).

Solve the equation \(x = \frac{y + b}{y - 2}\) for \(y\): multiply both sides by \((y - 2)\) to get \(x(y - 2) = y + b\), then expand and rearrange terms to isolate \(y\).

Express \(y\) in terms of \(x\) to find \(f^{-1}(x)\) explicitly. This will give you the formula for the inverse function.

Determine the domain and range of \(f^{-1}\) by considering the range and domain of \(f\), respectively, and verify the inverse relationship by checking that \(f(f^{-1}(x)) = x\) and \(f^{-1}(f(x)) = x\).

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Inverse Functions

An inverse function reverses the effect of the original function, swapping inputs and outputs. For a function f(x), its inverse f⁻¹(x) satisfies f(f⁻¹(x)) = x and f⁻¹(f(x)) = x. Finding the inverse involves solving y = f(x) for x in terms of y.

Domain and Range of Functions and Their Inverses

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values, while the range is the set of all possible output values. For inverse functions, the domain and range swap roles: the domain of f becomes the range of f⁻¹, and vice versa. Identifying these sets ensures the inverse is well-defined.

Rational Functions and Restrictions

A rational function is a ratio of polynomials, which may have restrictions where the denominator is zero. For f(x) = (x + b)/(x − 2), x ≠ 2 to avoid division by zero. Such restrictions affect the domain and range and must be considered when finding inverses.
