Final answer:
To find the inverse of g(x)=1/3x - 7, interchange x and y and solve for y. The inverse of g(x) is g^-1(x) = 3x + 21. The domain and range of g(x) are (-∞, ∞).
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse of the function g(x) = 1/3x - 7, we need to interchange x and y and solve for y.
- Replace g(x) with y: y = 1/3x - 7
- Interchange x and y: x = 1/3y - 7
- Solve for y: x + 7 = 1/3y
- Multiply both sides by 3: 3(x + 7) = y
- Simplify: 3x + 21 = y
So, the inverse of g(x) is g-1(x) = 3x + 21.
The domain of g(x) is the set of all possible x-values for which the function is defined. Since g(x) is defined for all real numbers, the domain is (-∞, ∞).
The range of g(x) is the set of all possible y-values that the function can take on. Since the function is a linear equation, the range is also all real numbers (-∞, ∞).
