Consider the function $f(x) =$ $\begin{cases} 2x & (x \ge 1) \\ 2(1-k)x + 2k & (x < 1). \end{cases}$

If $f^{-1}(x)$ exists, find the value of the constant $k.$

Details and assumptions

k < 1

k > 1

k \ge 1

k \le 1

Consider a function $f: X \to Y,$ where $X = \{x |\, 0 \le x \le 1\}$ and $Y = \{y|\, a \le y \le b\}.$

If $f(x) = 3x + 2,$ and $f^{-1}(x)$ exists, find the values of $a , b.$

Details and assumptions

a=0, b=1

a=2, b=5

a=5, b=2

a=1, b=0
