f : R → R given by f(x) = 4x + 3.

f(x1) = 4x1 + 3, f(x2) = 4x2 + 3

If f(x1) = f(x2),

then 4x1 + 3 = 4x2 + 3

or 4x1 = 4x2

⇒ x1 = x2.

⇒ f is one-one.

Aslo, let y = 4x + 3

or 4x = y – 3

∴ x = \(\frac { y-3 }{ 4 }\).

For each value of y e R and belonging to codomain of y, there is a pre-image in its domain.

∴f is onto.

i. e., f is one-one and onto.

∴ f is invertible.

So, f-1(y) = g(y) = \(\frac { y-3 }{ 4 }\)
