Let f:NY be a function defined as f(x)=4x+3, where Y={y N:y=4x+3 for some x N}. Show that f is invertible. Find the inverse.

Solution

Calculate: g:YN
Given: f(x)=4x+3
Let f(x)=y
y=4x+3
4x=y3
x=y34
Let g(y)=y34 where g:YN

Solve to prove gof=IN.
gof=g(f(x))
gof=g(4x+3)
gof=(4x+3)34
gof=4x4=x=IN...(1)

Solve to prove fog=Iy.
fog=f(g(x))
fog=f(y34)
fog=4(y34)+3
fog=y3+3
fog=y=Iy...(2)
From (1) and (2)
gof=IN and fog=Iy
f is invertible, so
Inverse of f=g(y)=y34
