  • $ g(y) = \frac{y}{5-4y} $
  • $ g(y) = \frac{y}{5+4y} $
  • $ g(y) = \frac{5y}{5-4y} $
  • $None\, of\, these$

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$f : R -\left\{\frac{5}{4}\right\}\rightarrow R$ and $f \left(x\right)=\frac{5x}{4x+5}$
Let $y=\frac{5x}{4x+5}$
$\Rightarrow 4xy+5y=5x$
$\Rightarrow x\left(5-4y\right)=5y$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{5y}{\left(5-4y\right)}=f^{-1}\left(y\right)$
$\Rightarrow f^{-1}\left(x\right)=\frac{5x}{5-4x} $
or $g\left(y\right)=\frac{5y}{5-4y}$
which is the inverse of $f$ is the map g.
Range $f \rightarrow R-\left\{\frac{5}{4}\right\}$

Functions

A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. Let A & B be any two non-empty sets, mapping from A to B will be a function only when every element in set A has one end only one image in set B.

Kinds of Functions

The different types of functions are - 

One to One Function: When elements of set A have a separate component of set B, we can determine that it is a one-to-one function. Besides, you can also call it injective.

Many to One Function: As the name suggests, here more than two elements in set A are mapped with one element in set B.

Moreover, if it happens that all the elements in set B have pre-images in set A, it is called an onto function or surjective function.

Also, if a function is both one-to-one and onto function, it is known as a bijective. This means, that all the elements of A are mapped with separate elements in B, and A holds a pre-image of elements of B.
