The problem defines a function $g(x) = \frac{3x}{1-x}$. We are asked to find two things: (i) The value of $g(2)$. (ii) The image of 1 under $g^{-1}$, which is equivalent to finding $g^{-1}(1)$.

1. Problem Description

The problem defines a function g(x)=3x1xg(x) = \frac{3x}{1-x}. We are asked to find two things:
(i) The value of g(2)g(2).
(ii) The image of 1 under g1g^{-1}, which is equivalent to finding g1(1)g^{-1}(1).

2. Solution Steps

(i) To find g(2)g(2), we substitute x=2x=2 into the expression for g(x)g(x):
g(2)=3(2)12=61=6g(2) = \frac{3(2)}{1-2} = \frac{6}{-1} = -6.
(ii) To find g1(1)g^{-1}(1), we need to find the value of xx such that g(x)=1g(x) = 1. In other words, we need to solve the equation 3x1x=1\frac{3x}{1-x} = 1 for xx.
3x=1x3x = 1-x
3x+x=13x + x = 1
4x=14x = 1
x=14x = \frac{1}{4}
Therefore, g1(1)=14g^{-1}(1) = \frac{1}{4}.

3. Final Answer

(i) g(2)=6g(2) = -6
(ii) The image of 1 under g1g^{-1} is 14\frac{1}{4}.
