Answer
f : R - [-1] → R - [1] given by $\text{f(x)}=\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}+1}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{f}^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}+1}\Big)=\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{f}^{-1}(\text{x})=\frac{\text{x}}{1-\text{x}}$
$\because$ Let $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}+1}=\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=\text{xy}+\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}(1-\text{y})=\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=\frac{\text{y}}{1-\text{y}}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{f}^{-1}(\text{x})=\frac{\text{x}+7}{10}$
