A function is defined by (h : x to 2 – frac{1}{2x – 3}, x…

A function is defined by (h : x to 2 – frac{1}{2x – 3}, x neq frac{3}{2}). Find (h^-1), the inverse of h.

  • A.
    (frac{3x – 4}{2x – 7}, x neq frac{7}{2})
  • B.
    (frac{3x – 7}{2x – 4}, x neq 2)
  • C.
    (frac{2x – 7}{4x – 3}, x neq frac{3}{4})
  • D.
    (frac{4x – 7}{2x – 4}, x neq 2)
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

(h : x to 2 – frac{1}{2x – 3})

(h(x) = frac{2(2x – 3) – 1}{2x – 3} = frac{4x – 7}{2x – 3})

Let x = h(y)

(x = frac{4y – 7}{2y – 3})

(x(2y – 3) = 4y – 7  implies 2xy – 4y = 3x – 7)

(y = frac{3x – 7}{2x – 4})

(h^{-1}(x) = frac{3x – 7}{2x – 4})
