Let `f: [-1 ,1] to Y : f(x) =.(x)/((x+2)), x ne -2 " and " Y=` range (`f`). Show that `f` is invertible and find `f^(-1)`

Answer» we have
`f(x_(1)) =f(x_(2)) rArr .(x_(1))/(x_(1)=2) =(x_(2))/(x_(2)+2)`
`rArr x_(1)x_(2) +2x_(1) =x_(1)x_(2) +2x_(2)`
`rArr 2(x_(1)-x_(2)) =0`
`rArr x_(1) - x_(2)=0`
`rArr x_(1) =x_(2)`
`:.` f is one-one
Since range `( f) =Y ` so f is onto
Thus f is one-one onto and therefore invertible .
Let `y in Y.` Then there exists `x in [ -1,1]` such that f(x) =y.
Now ` y = f(x) rArr y= (x)/((x+2)) `
` rArr x= (2y)/((1-y))`
`rArr f^(-1) (y) = (2y)/((1-y))`
Thus we define :
`f^(-1) : [ -1,1] to Y : f^(-1) (y) = (2y)/((1-y)) , y ne 1`
