can someone tell me step by step how to solve: f(x)= 2/x g(x)=(x+1)/x express the inverse function g-1 in the form g-1(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step 1) replace g(x) with "y". Then you get "y" as a function of "x" step 2) rearrange the equation and solve for "x" as a function of "y" step 3) replace "x" with \(g^{-1}(x)\) and "y" with "x" That is the answer,

yh i know the proccess of finding a general inverse function but this one i cant seem to be able to get the y to be the subject again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ y=\frac{x+1}{x}=1+{1\over x} \] how about now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=1+{1\over x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract "1" from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would the final answer be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/(x-1)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
