Solution :-

Given f: R → R given by f(x) = 4x + 3

Now we have to show that the given function is invertible.

Consider injection of f:

Let x and y be two elements of domain (R),

Such that f(x) = f(y)

⇒ 4x + 3 = 4y + 3

⇒ 4x = 4y

⇒ x = y

So, f is one-one.

Now surjection of f:

Let y be in the co-domain (R),

Such that f(x) = y.

⇒ 4x + 3 = y

⇒ 4x = y -3

\( \dfrac{y-3}{4}\) in R (domain)

⇒ f is onto.

So, f is a bijection and, hence, it is invertible.

Now we have to find f -1

Let f-1(x) = y……. (1)

⇒ x = f (y)

⇒ x = 4y + 3

⇒ x − 3 = 4y

⇒ y = \( \dfrac{x-3}{4}\)

Now substituting this value in (1) we get

So, f-1(x) = \( \dfrac{x-3}{4}\)
