The function f(x)=(2x+1)/(2x-1) has an inverse. Which is the inverse?

First, we'll write:


f(x)=(2x+1)/(2x-1) as y=(2x+1)/(2x-1)


Now, we'll solve this equation for x, multiplying both sides by (2x-1):


2xy-y = (2x+1)


We'll move all terms containing x, to the left side and all terms in y, to the right side:


2xy-2x = 1-2y


We'll factorize:


x(2y-2) = 1-2y


x=(1-2y)/(2y-2)


Now, we'll interchange x and y:


y=(1-2x)/(2x-2)


So, the inverse function is:


[f(x)]^(-1) = (1-2x)/(2x-2)
