Solution by Steps
step 1
To find the inverse function f1(x)f^{-1}(x), we start by setting y=f(x)y = f(x). So, we have y=2x8xy = \frac{2x}{8-x}
step 2
Next, we solve for xx in terms of yy. Multiply both sides by (8x)(8-x) to get y(8x)=2xy(8-x) = 2x
step 3
Distribute yy on the left side: 8yxy=2x8y - xy = 2x
step 4
Rearrange the equation to isolate xx: 8y=2x+xy8y = 2x + xy
step 5
Factor out xx on the right side: 8y=x(2+y)8y = x(2 + y)
step 6
Solve for xx: x=8y2+yx = \frac{8y}{2 + y}
step 7
Replace yy with xx to get the inverse function: f1(x)=8x2+xf^{-1}(x) = \frac{8x}{2 + x}
step 8
To find the domain of f1(x)f^{-1}(x), we need to determine the values of xx for which the function is defined. The denominator 2+x2 + x must not be zero, so x2x \neq -2. Therefore, the domain of f1(x)f^{-1}(x) is (,2)(2,)(-\infty, -2) \cup (-2, \infty)
step 9
To find the range of f1(x)f^{-1}(x), we look at the domain of the original function f(x)f(x). The function f(x)=2x8xf(x) = \frac{2x}{8-x} is defined for x8x \neq 8. As xx approaches 88, f(x)f(x) approaches infinity. Therefore, the range of f(x)f(x) is (,)(-\infty, \infty). This means the range of f1(x)f^{-1}(x) is also (,)(-\infty, \infty)
Answer
f1(x)=8x2+xf^{-1}(x) = \frac{8x}{2 + x}
Domain of f1(x)f^{-1}(x): (,2)(2,)(-\infty, -2) \cup (-2, \infty)
Range of f1(x)f^{-1}(x): (,)(-\infty, \infty)

Inverse Function
Explanation
To find the inverse of a function, solve for the input variable in terms of the output variable, then interchange the variables. The domain of the inverse function is the range of the original function, and vice versa.
