Problem

Consider the function f:R→Rf: \mathbb R \to \mathbb R defined by f(x)=ax+bf(x)=ax+b, where a≠0a\neq 0. a. (i) State the necessary and sufficient condition for a real-valued function to possess an inverse function. b. (ii) Prove that the given function ff is both injective and surjective. c. (iii) Hence obtain an explicit expression for f−1(x)f^{-1}(x) and clearly mention its domain and range.
