Answer

$f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{5-2x}{x}$ $D_f=(-\infty,-2)\cup(-2,\infty)$ $R_f=(-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)$ $D_{f^{-1}}=(-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)$ $R_{f^{-1}}=(-\infty,-2)\cup(-2,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $f(x)=\dfrac{5}{x+2}$ Determine $f^{-1}$: $y=\dfrac{5}{x+2}$ $x=\dfrac{5}{y+2}$ $y+2=\dfrac{5}{x}$ $y=\dfrac{5}{x}-2$ $f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{5-2x}{x}$ Determine the domain $D_f$ and the range $R_f$ of $f$: $D_f=(-\infty,-2)\cup(-2,\infty)$ $R_f=(-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)$ Determine the domain $D_{f^{-1}}$ and the range $R_{f^{-1}}$ of $f^{-1}$: $D_{f^{-1}}=(-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)$ $R_{f^{-1}}=(-\infty,-2)\cup(-2,\infty)$
