Answer

$f^{-1}(x)=tan^{-1}(\frac{x+3}{2})$ range of $f(x)$: $(-\infty,\infty)$, domain and range of $f^{-1}(x)$: $(-\infty,\infty)$ and $(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2})$.

Work Step by Step

1. $f(x)=2tan(x)-3 \Longrightarrow y=2tan(x)-3 \Longrightarrow x=2tan(y)-3 \Longrightarrow y=tan^{-1}(\frac{x+3}{2}) \Longrightarrow f^{-1}(x)=tan^{-1}(\frac{x+3}{2})$ 2. We can find the range of $f(x)$: $(-\infty,\infty)$, 3. We can find the domain and range of $f^{-1}(x)$: $(-\infty,\infty)$ and $(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2})$.
