here's how to find f(f−1(x))f(f^{-1}(x)) for f(x)=x−23f(x) = x - \frac{2}{3}:

First, we need to find the inverse function f−1(x)f^{-1}(x).

  1. Replace f(x)f(x) with yy.

    y=x−23y = x - \frac{2}{3}
  2. Swap xx and yy.

    x=y−23x = y - \frac{2}{3}
  3. Solve for yy.

    Add 23\frac{2}{3} to both sides:

    y=x+23y = x + \frac{2}{3}
  4. Replace yy with f−1(x)f^{-1}(x).

    f−1(x)=x+23f^{-1}(x) = x + \frac{2}{3}

    Now, we find f(f−1(x))f(f^{-1}(x)) by substituting f−1(x)f^{-1}(x) into f(x)f(x).

  5. Substitute f−1(x)f^{-1}(x) into f(x)f(x).

    Given f(x)=x−23f(x) = x - \frac{2}{3}, we replace xx with f−1(x)f^{-1}(x):

    f(f−1(x))=f(x+23)f(f^{-1}(x)) = f\left(x + \frac{2}{3}\right) f(x+23)=(x+23)−23f\left(x + \frac{2}{3}\right) = \left(x + \frac{2}{3}\right) - \frac{2}{3} f(x+23)=x+23−23f\left(x + \frac{2}{3}\right) = x + \frac{2}{3} - \frac{2}{3} f(x+23)=xf\left(x + \frac{2}{3}\right) = x

    The result is:

    ff−1(x)=xff^{-1}(x) = x
