Composition with an inverse and intersections of a function and its inverse

Question 1 of 8

No calculator

Work with the inverse rule on the exact domain stated below

The function \(f\) is defined by the rule

\[f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}\]

with domain \(\left[-1,\;7\right]\)

The inverse rule is

\[f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}\]

The domain of \(f^{-1}\) is \(\left[1,\;5\right]\)

The composition to use is \(f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right)\). The probe input is \(5\)

(a)2 marks

Simplify \(f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right)\) into the form \(Ax+B\). Enter the two coefficients

(b)1 mark

Evaluate \(f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right)\) at the probe input \(5\)

Format: Give an exact value
