Question 165

The function f f\,f is defined by f(x)=(x−4)2−7f(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 7f(x)=(x−4)2−7 for x≥4x \geq 4x≥4. The solution to the equation f(x)=xf(x)=xf(x)=x is 9+352\displaystyle \frac{9+3\sqrt{5}}{2}29+35​​.

Explain why your answer to part (c) is also the solution to the equation f(x)=f−1(x)f(x) = f^{-1}(x)f(x)=f−1(x)
