Question
Show f(x) is a 1-1 function
The image contains a mathematical function presented as:

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

This represents a rational function where the numerator is \(x+1\) and the denominator is \(x-3\). This function is undefined when \(x = 3\), as the denominator becomes zero. The function may feature a vertical asymptote at \(x = 3\).

If graphs or diagrams were included, they would typically display how the function behaves as \(x\) approaches 3, highlighting the asymptotic behavior.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: 

fx=x+1x-3

To prove: f(x) is 1-1

we know that,

If f(x1) = f(x2) then x1 = x2 therefore f(x) is 1-1
