Inverse of a reciprocal-type function and a second function found from a composite condition

Inverse of a reciprocal-type function and a second function found from a composite condition

6 marks

Let \(f(x)=3+\dfrac{5}{2x-1}\) for all real \(x\) with \(x\neq\dfrac12\).

  1. Determine the inverse function, giving \(f^{-1}(x)\) in terms of \(x\).[3]

A second function \(g\) has the property that \((f\circ g)(2x)=x\) wherever both sides are defined.

  1. Hence, or otherwise, write \(g(x)\) as a single fraction in \(x\).[3]
