Let f : R → R be defined as f ( x ) = 10 x + 7. Find the function g : R → R such that g o f = f o g = 1 R .

Solution

The given function is f( x )=10x+7 defined in f:RR .

The inverse of the function is to be determined. To find the inverse, first check whether the function is one-one and onto.

For one-one:

Let f( x )=f( y ) [ x,yR ] Put the values of the functions.

10x+7=10y+7 x=y Thus, the function is one-one.

For onto:

For yR , let the function be defined as y=10x+7 .

y7 10 =x For all values of y belonging to R, the value of x also belongs to R such that f( x )=y .

f( x )=f( y7 10 ) =10( y7 10 )+7 =y Thus, the function is onto.

Since the function is one-one and onto, the function is invertible.

Now, we can define the inverse function of f as,

g( y )= y7 10 The value of gf( x ) is,

g( f( x ) )=g( 10x+7 ) = 10x+77 10 = 10x 10 =x

Similarly, the value of fg( y ) is,

f( g( y ) )=f( y7 10 ) =10( y7 10 )+7 =y

Thus, gf( x )=fg( y )= I R .

Thus, the required function is g( y )= y7 10 .
