D_f=x in RR, x!=3/7

Explanation:

f^-1(x)=(-11x-1)/(-7x+3)

Apart from x!=3/7, there are no other values for which f^-1 is undefined, thus x can take all real values barring 3"/"7.
graph{(-11x-1)/(-7x+3) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

You can see this from the graph where f^-1 has only one asymptote at x=3"/"7

x inRR,x!=3/7

Explanation:

" the domain is all real values apart from any that make the"
"denominator zero which make the function undefined"

"equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the "
"value that x cannot be"

"solve " -7x+3=0rArrx=3/7larrcolor(red)" excluded value"

rArr"domain is " x inRR,x!=3/7
