Question

The function $\mathrm{f}$ is defined by $\mathrm{f} : x \mapsto \frac{1}{x^2 + 6x + 5}$, for $x \ge -3$, $x \neq -1$. Find $\mathrm{f}^{-1}(x)$.[3] Find algebraically the range of $\mathrm{f}$.[4] The function $\mathrm{g}$ is defined by $\mathrm{g} : x \mapsto e^x$, for $x \in \mathbb{R}$. Find the exact range of $\mathrm{gf}$.[2]

Accepted Answer

(a) $f^{-1}(x)=-3+\sqrt{\frac1x+4}$; (b) $R_f=(-\infty,-\frac14]\cup(0,\infty)$; (c) $R_{gf}=(0,e^{-1/4}]\cup(1,\infty)$
