$f : R \rightarrow R$ is given by $f (x) = 4x + 3$

One-one :

Let $f(x)=f(y)$

$4x + 3 = 4y+3$

$4x=4y$

$x=y$

$\therefore$ f is one-one function.

Onto:

$y=4x+3\, \, \, , y \in R$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{y-3}{4} \in R$

So, for $y \in R$ there is $x=\frac{y-3}{4} \in R$ ,such that

$f(x)=f(\frac{y-3}{4})=4(\frac{y-3}{4})+3$

$= y-3+3$

$= y$

$\therefore$ f is onto.

Thus, f is one-one and onto so $f^{-1}$ exists.

Let, $g:R\rightarrow R$ by $g(x)=\frac{y-3}{4}$

Now,

$(gof)(x)= g(f(x))= g(4x+3)$

$=\frac{(4x+3)-3}{4}$

$=\frac{4x}{4}$

$=x$

$(fog)(x)= f(g(x))= f(\frac{y-3}{4})$

$= 4\times \frac{y-3}{4}+3$

$= y-3+3$

$= y$

$(gof)(x)= x$ and $(fog)(x)= y$

Hence, function f is invertible and inverse of f is $g(y)=\frac{y-3}{4}$ .
