Solution
We have,
A = R \[-\] {3} and B = R \[-\] {1}
The function f : A \[\to\] B defined by f(x) = \[\frac{x - 2}{x - 3}\]
\[\text { Let }x, y \text { in A such that }f\left( x \right) = f\left( y \right) . \text { Then }, \]
\[\frac{x - 2}{x - 3} = \frac{y - 2}{y - 3}\]
\[ \Rightarrow xy - 3x - 2y + 6 = xy - 2x - 3y + 6\]
\[ \Rightarrow - x = - y\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = y\]
\[ \therefore\text { f is one - one } .\]
\[\text { Let y } \in B . \text { Then, y } \neq 1 . \]
\[\text { The function f is onto if there exists } x \text { in A such that f }\left( x \right) = y . \]
\[\text {Now,}\]
\[f\left( x \right) = y\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{x - 2}{x - 3} = y\]
\[ \Rightarrow x - 2 = xy - 3y\]
\[ \Rightarrow x - xy = 2 - 3y\]
\[ \Rightarrow x\left( 1 - y \right) = 2 - 3y\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{2 - 3y}{1 - y} \in A \left[ y \neq 1 \right]\]
\[\text { Thus, for any } y \text { in B, there exists } \frac{2 - 3y}{1 - y} \text { in A such that }\]
\[f\left( \frac{2 - 3y}{1 - y} \right) = \frac{\left( \frac{2 - 3y}{1 - y} \right) - 2}{\left( \frac{2 - 3y}{1 - y} \right) - 3} = \frac{2 - 3y - 2 + 2y}{2 - 3y - 3 + 3y} = \frac{- y}{- 1} = y\]
\[ \therefore \text { f is onto } .\]
\[\text { So, f is one - one and onto fucntion } . \]
\[\text { Now }, \]
\[\text { As,} x = \left( \frac{2 - 3y}{1 - y} \right)\]
\[\text { So }, f^{- 1} \left( x \right) = \left( \frac{2 - 3x}{1 - x} \right) = \frac{3x - 2}{x - 1}\]
Therefore,f is bijective.
(i) \[f^{- 1} \left( x \right) = 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{3x - 2}{x - 1} = 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3x - 2 = 4x - 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = 2\]
\[f^{- 1} \left( x \right) = \frac{3x - 2}{x - 1}\]
\[ \Rightarrow f^{- 1} \left( 7 \right) = \frac{3\left( 7 \right) - 2}{7 - 1} = \frac{19}{6}\]
