If f(x) = (3x-2) / x-5 x>6, find a.) ff(8) b.) the range of f(x) c.) f^-1(x) and state its range.

Firstly, ff(8) is the same as f(f(8)) so f(8) needs to be found first. Subbing in x=8 f(8)=22/3, so f(22/3) is required, Setting x=22/3 f(22/3)= 20/(22/3 - 5) = 60/7. so ff(8)=60/7.Next, as x tends to infini...
