The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$f\left(x\right) = \frac{2x-3}{3x-4}$
Let $ f\left(x\right) = y = \frac{2x-3}{3x+4}$
On Cross multiplication, we get
$ \Rightarrow 3xy +4y = 2x-3$
$ \Rightarrow x\left(3y -2\right) = -3 - 4y$
$ \Rightarrow x= \frac{-3 - 4 y}{3y -2}$
$ \Rightarrow x - f^{^{-1} } \left(y\right)= \frac{-3 -4y}{3y - 2}$
Put $y =- \frac{4}{3}$ we get
$ f^{-1} \left(- \frac{4}{3}\right) = \frac{-3 -4 \times\left(-\frac{4}{3}\right)}{3\left(- \frac{4}{3}\right) - 2}$
$ = \frac{-3 + \frac{16}{3}}{-4 -2} = \frac{7}{ 3\times \left(-6\right)} = - \frac{7}{18} $

Relations and functions

A relation R from a non-empty set B is a subset of the cartesian product A × B. The subset is derived by describing a relationship between the first element and the second element of the ordered pairs in A × B.

A relation f from a set A to a set B is said to be a function if every element of set A has one and only one image in set B. In other words, no two distinct elements of B have the same pre-image.

Representation of Relation and Function

Relations and functions can be represented in different forms such as arrow representation, algebraic form, set-builder form, graphically, roster form, and tabular form. Define a function f: A = {1, 2, 3} → B = {1, 4, 9} such that f(1) = 1, f(2) = 4, f(3) = 9. Now, represent this function in different forms.

  1. Set-builder form - {(x, y): f(x) = y2, x ∈ A, y ∈ B}
  2. Roster form - {(1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9)}
  3. Arrow Representation
