1. Problem Description

The function gg is defined as g(x)=2x3xg(x) = \frac{2x-3}{x}. We need to find g1(12)g^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}).

2. Solution Steps

First, let y=g(x)y = g(x). Then y=2x3xy = \frac{2x-3}{x}.
To find the inverse function g1(y)g^{-1}(y), we need to solve for xx in terms of yy.
y=2x3xy = \frac{2x-3}{x}
xy=2x3xy = 2x - 3
xy2x=3xy - 2x = -3
x(y2)=3x(y-2) = -3
x=3y2x = \frac{-3}{y-2}
x=32yx = \frac{3}{2-y}
Thus, g1(y)=32yg^{-1}(y) = \frac{3}{2-y}.
Now, we can find g1(12)g^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) by substituting y=12y = \frac{1}{2} into the expression for g1(y)g^{-1}(y):
g1(12)=3212g^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{3}{2-\frac{1}{2}}
g1(12)=34212g^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{3}{\frac{4}{2}-\frac{1}{2}}
g1(12)=332g^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{3}{\frac{3}{2}}
g1(12)=323g^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) = 3 \cdot \frac{2}{3}
g1(12)=2g^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) = 2

3. Final Answer

g1(12)=2g^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) = 2
