Answer:

Answer C:
f(x)=(x+1)/(x-1)

Explanation:

Notice that all the functions look like x plus a constant in the numerator, and x minus the same constant in the denominator.

So we can do a general analysis finding the inverse of a function of the form:


f(x)=(x+a)/(x-a)

and finding which value of "a" will make
f(x)=f^(-1)(x)

To find the inverse we need to solve for "x" in the equivalent equation:


y=(x+a)/(x-a) \\y\,(x-a)=x+a\\yx-ya=x+a\\yx-x=a+ya\\x(y-1)=a(1+y)\\x=(a(1+y))/(y-1)

Then, we see that if
a=1, then the expression for
f(x)=f^(-1)(x)

Then the function that verifies this condition is:


f(x)=(x+1)/(x-1)
