If (f(x)=(1-x)/(1+x)) the domain of f^ -1 (x) is
If (f(x)=\frac{1-x}{1+x}) the domain of is
Options
- A(\mathrm{R})
- B(\mathrm{R}-\{-1\})
- C((-\infty,-1))
- D((-1, \infty))
Correct answer
B. (\mathrm{R}-\{-1\})
Step-by-step solution
Let . Then (\frac{1-x}{1+x}=y)
(\Rightarrow x=\frac{1-y}{1+y} \Rightarrow f^{-1}(y)=\frac{1-y}{1+y})
Thus, (f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1-x}{1+x})
Clearly, (\mathrm{f}^{-1}(\mathrm{x})) is defined for (1+\mathrm{x} \neq 0).
Hence, domain of (\mathrm{f}^{-1}(\mathrm{x})) is (\mathrm{R}-\{-1\})
