what is f^-1(x) given f(x)=(2x-1)/(2x+1) ?

First, we'll
write:


f(x)=(2x-1)/(2x+1) as
y=(2x-1)/(2x+1)


Now, we'll solve this equation for x,
multiplying both sides by (2x+1):


2xy+y =
(2x-1)


We'll move all terms containing x, to the left side
and all terms in y, to the right side:


2xy-2x =
-1-y


We'll factorize by
x:


x(2y-2) =
-(1+y)


x=-(1+y)/2(y-1)


We'll multiply
the denominator by -1 and we'll get:


x =
(1+y)/2(1-y)


Now, we'll interchange x and
y.


y = (1+x)/2(1-x)


So, the
inverse function is:


[f(x)]^(-1)
=(1+x)/2(1-x)

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
