$f : R_+ \rightarrow [- 5, \infty)$

$f (x) = 9x^2 + 6x - 5$

One- one:

Let $f(x)=f(y)$ $for \, \, x,y\in R$

$9x^{2}+6x-5=9y^{2}+6y-5$

$9x^{2}+6x=9y^{2}+6y$

$\Rightarrow$ $9(x^{2}-y^{2})=6(y-x)$

$9(x+y)(x-y)+6(x-y)= 0$

$(x-y)(9(x+y)+6)=0$

Since, x and y are positive.

$(9(x+y)+6)> 0$

$\therefore x=y$

$\therefore$ f is one-one.

Onto:

Let for $y \in [-5,\infty)$ , $y=9x^{2}+6x-5$

$\Rightarrow$ $y=(3x+1)^{2}-1-5$

$\Rightarrow$ $y=(3x+1)^{2}-6$

$\Rightarrow$ $y+6=(3x+1)^{2}$

$(3x+1)=\sqrt{y+6}$

$x = \frac{\sqrt{y+6}-1}{3}$

$\therefore$ f is onto and range is $y \in [-5,\infty)$ .

Since f is one-one and onto so it is invertible.

Let $g : [-5,\infty)\rightarrow R_+$ by $g(y) = \frac{\sqrt{y+6}-1}{3}$

$(gof)(x)=g(f(x))=g(9x^{2}+6x)-5=g((3x+1)^{2}-6)\\=\sqrt{{(3x+1)^{2}}-6+6} -1$

$(gof)(x)=\frac{3x+1-1}{3}=\frac{3x}{3}= x$

$(fog)(x)=f(g(x))=f(\frac{\sqrt{y+6}-1}{3})$

$=[3(\frac{\sqrt{y+6}-1}{3})+1]^{2}-6$

$=(\sqrt{y+6})^{2}-6$

$=y+6-6$

$=y$

$\therefore gof=fog=I_R$

Hence, $f$ is invertible with the inverse $f^{-1}$ of $f$ given by $f^{-1} (y) = \left (\frac{(\sqrt{y + 6}) - 1}{3} \right )$
