The domain of =RR-{3}
The range of =RR-{2}

Explanation:

As we cannot divide by 0, x!=3

The domain of f(x) is D_f(x)=RR-{3}

Let y=(2x+1)/(x-3)

Then,

yx-3y=2x+1

yx-2x=3y+1

x(y-2)=3y+1

x=(3y+1)/(y-2)

Therefore,

f^-1(x)=(3x+1)/(x-2)

The domain of x is the range of y

The range of f(x) is R_f(x)=RR-{2}
graph{(2x+1)/(x-3) [-28.86, 28.9, -14.43, 14.43]}
