Let $$f:(0,1) \to R$$ be defined by $$f(x) = {{b - x} \over {1 - bx}}$$, where b is a constant such that $$0 < b < 1$$. Then
f is not invertible on (0, 1).
f $$\ne$$ f$$-$$1 on (0, 1) and $$f'(b) = {1 \over {f'(0)}}$$.
f = f$$-$$1 on (0, 1) and $$f'(b) = {1 \over {f'(0)}}$$.
f$$-$$1 is differentiable on (0, 1).
Explanation
Here, $$f(x) = {{b - x} \over {1 - bx}}$$
where, 0 < b < 1, 0 < x < 1
For function to be invertible it should be one-one onto.
$$\therefore$$ Check range :
Let $$f(x) = y \Rightarrow y = {{b - x} \over {1 - bx}}$$
$$ \Rightarrow y - bxy = b - x \Rightarrow x(1 - by) = b - y$$
$$ \Rightarrow x = {{b - y} \over {1 - by}}$$
where, 0 < x < 1
$$\therefore$$ $$0 < {{b - y} \over {1 - by}} < 1$$
$${{b - y} \over {1 - by}} > 0$$ and $${{b - y} \over {1 - by}} < 1$$
$$ \Rightarrow y < b$$ or $$y > {1 \over b}$$ .... (i)
$${{(b - 1)(y + 1)} \over {1 - by}} < - 1 < y < {1 \over b}$$ ..... (ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$$y \in \left( { - 1,{1 \over b}} \right) \subset $$ Codomain
Thus, f(x) is not invertible.
