Answer:
h^(-1)(x) = (-4x - 1) / (2-x), range:
(-\infty, \infty)

Explanation:

  1. To find the inverse of h(x), swap the x's and y's: x = (2y + 1) / (y-4)
  2. Use algebra to make y be by itself on one side of the equals sign:
  • x(y-4) = 2y + 1
  • xy - 4x - 1 = 2y
  • -4x - 1 = 2y - xy
  • -4x - 1 = y(2-x)
  • y = (-4x - 1) / (2 - x), which is your inverse of h(x) that we call h^(-1)(x)

This is a hyperbolic function with an vertical asymptote at x = 2, so its range is
(-\infty, \infty). That is, the range of our inverse function contains all y ∈ R
