Given, f(x) = 10x + 7
Now we have to find a function g : R -> R such that fog(x) = got(x) = IR
From the definition of the inverse of a function
we can understand that this question actually require us to find the function f(x) = 10x + 7
1. Injectivity
Let x , x ∈ R
Then f(x ) = f(x)
10x + 7 = 10x + 7
=> x = x
So f(x) is a one - one function
2. Surjectivity
Let y = 10x + 7
=> y - 7 = 10x
=> x = (y - 7)/10
For every y ∈ R , we can find an x = (y - 7)/10 ∈ R such that
f(x) = f{(y – 7)/10)}
= 10*( y-7)/10 + 7
= y - 7 + 7
= y
So f(x) is a onto function.
Now define f : R -> R such that f (y) = (y – 7)/10
This function f is our required function g
So, the required function
g(x) = (x – 7)/10
