See 1 Answer

f(x) = 3x + 5
Replace f(x) with x and x with f(x).
x = 3f(x) + 5
x - 5 = 3f(x)
⅓x - 5/3 = f(x)
Therefore, the inverse function is :
f-¹(x) = ⅓x - 5/3
This is the function that maps Q to P
Check : f-¹f(x) = f-¹(3x + 5) = ⅓(3x+5) - 5/3 = x + 5/3 - 5/3 = x

Alternatively,
f(x) = 3x + 5
3x = f(x) - 5
x = ⅓f(x) - 5/3
The inverse function is : f-¹(x) = ⅓x - 5/3

ii)

f(x) = 3x + 5

gf(x)
= 6x + 1
= 6x + 10 - 10 + 1
= 2(3x + 5) - 9
= 2f(x) - 9

Therefore, g(x) = 2x - 9

This maps Q to R.

b)

fg(x) = 4x - 16
f(2x - 9) = 4x - 16

Recall that f(x) = 3x + 5

So f(2x - 9)
= 3(2x - 9) + 5
= 6x - 27 + 5
= 6x - 22

So 6x - 22 = 4x - 16

6x - 4x = -16 + 22
2x = 6
x = 3
