Let f: R → R be defined as f (x) = 10x + 7. Find the function g : R → R such that g o f = f o g = 1R.
It is given that f: R → R be defined as f (x) = 10x + 7
Let f(x) = f(y), where x, y ϵ R.
⇒ 10x + 7 = 10y + 7
⇒ x = y
⇒ f is a one – one function.
For y ϵ R, let y = 10x + 7.
⇒ x =
Therefore, for any y ϵ R, there exists x = such that
⇒ f is onto.
⇒ f is an invertible function.
Let us define g : R → R as
Now, we get:
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(10x + 7)
And,
⇒ gof = IR and gof = IR
Therefore, the required function g : R → R is defined as .
