Solution

It is given that `f(x) = (4x + 3)/(6x - 4), x ≠ 2/3`

`(fof)(x) = f(f(x))`

= `f((4x+ 3)/(6x - 4))`

= `(4((4x + 3)/(6x - 4)) + 3)/(6((4x + 3)/(6x - 4)) - 4)` 

= `(16x + 12 + 18x - 12)/(24x + 18 - 24x + 16)`

= `(34x)/(34)`

= x

Therefore, fof(x) = x for all `x ≠ 2/3`.

⇒ fof  = 1

Hence, the given function f is invertible and the inverse of f is f itself.
