Question:

Which of the following functions is inverse of itself?

Updated On: Jun 23, 2024
  • $ f\left(t\right) = \frac{\left(1-t\right)}{\left(1+t\right)} $
  • $ f\left(t\right) = \frac{\left(1-t^{2}\right)}{\left(1+t^{2}\right)} $
  • $ f\left(t\right) = 4^{log\, t} $
  • $ f(t) = 2^t $

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Let $y=f (t)$
$\therefore t=f^{-1}(y)$
Now, $y=f (t) =\frac{1-t}{1+t}$
$\Rightarrow y+ty=1-t$
$\Rightarrow t+ty=1-y$
$\Rightarrow t=\frac{1-y}{1+y}$
i.e., $f^{-1}(y) =\frac{1-y}{1+y}$
or $f^{-1}(t)=\frac{1-t}{1+t}$
Thus, this function is inverse of itself

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.
