Explanation

(a) \((f^{-1})^{-1}(x)=f(x)\)

\(f^{-1}(x)=\frac{5x - 6}{4 - x},x ≠ 4\)

Let \(y=\frac{5x - 6}{4 - x}\)

\(=y(4-x)=5x-6\)

\(=4y-xy=5x-6\)

\(=-xy-5x=-6-4y\)

\(=x(-y-5)=-6-4y\)

\(=x=\frac{-6 - 4y}{-y - 5}=\frac{-(6 + 4y)}{-(y + 5)}\)

\(=x=\frac{6 + 4y}{y + 5}\)

\(∴f(x)=\frac{6 + 4x}{x + 5},x≠-5\)

(b) \(f(x)=5\)

\(=\frac{6 + 4x}{x + 5}=5\)

\(=6+4x=5(x+5)\)

\(=6+4x=5x+25\)

\(=4x-5x=25-6\)

\(=-x=19\)

\(∴x=-19\)
