Let k≠0k\neq 0 and define three bijective functions: f:R→Rf:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R, f(x)=kx+1f(x)=kx+1; g:R∖{0}→R∖{0}g:\mathbb R\setminus\{0\}\to\mathbb R\setminus\{0\}, g(x)=1xg(x)=\dfrac{1}{x}; h:R→Rh:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R, h(x)=x5h(x)=x^{5}. If F=h∘g∘fF=h\circ g\circ f, then F−1(x)F^{-1}(x) equals (a) x1/5−1k\dfrac{x^{1/5}-1}{k} (b) k x−1/5−1k\,x^{-1/5}-1 (c) x−1/5−1k\dfrac{x^{-1/5}-1}{k} (d) 1−x1/5k\dfrac{1-x^{1/5}}{k}
