The given function is f( x )=10x+7 defined in f:R→R .
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,y∈R ] Put the values of the functions.
10x+7=10y+7 x=y Thus, the function is one-one.
For onto:
For y∈R , let the function be defined as y=10x+7 .
y−7 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( y−7 10 ) =10( y−7 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 )= y−7 10 The value of g∘f( x ) is,
g( f( x ) )=g( 10x+7 ) = 10x+7−7 10 = 10x 10 =x
Similarly, the value of f∘g( y ) is,
f( g( y ) )=f( y−7 10 ) =10( y−7 10 )+7 =y
Thus, g∘f( x )=f∘g( y )= I R .
Thus, the required function is g( y )= y−7 10 .
