Detailed Solution

Given:
f(x)=ax+bcx+d
We know:
f(f(x))=x
This implies that f is its own inverse function except at  x=dc.
Substituting f(x)  into itself:
f(f(x))=f(ax+bcx+d)=x
Substituting the function definition:
f(ax+bcx+d)=a(ax+bcx+d)+bc(ax+bcx+d)+d=x
Simplify the expression:
a(ax+b)+b(cx+d)c(ax+b)+d(cx+d)=xa2x+ab+bcx+bdacx+bc+dcx+d2=x(a2+bc)x+(ab+bd)(ac+dc)x+(bc+d2)=x
For this fraction to reduce to x, the coefficients of x and the constants must match:
a2+bc=x(ac+dc)ab+bd=bc+d2
In order for these equations to hold for all x, we must have:
a2+bc=ac+dcab+bd=bc+d2
For the function to be an inverse of itself, certain conditions must be met:
a=1
Given the conditions:
f(19)=19f(97)=97
Substituting x=19  and x=97  into the function:
a(19)+bc(19)+d=19a(97)+bc(97)+d=97
Setting up the equations:
19a+b=19(19c+d)97a+b=97(97c+d)
Solving these equations simultaneously:
19a+b=361c+19d97a+b=9409c+97d
Subtracting the first equation from the second to eliminate b:
97a+b(19a+b)=9409c+97d(361c+19d)78a=9048c+78da=116c+d
Since we know  a=d, substituting  d=a:
a=116ca2a=116ca=58c
So, the value that is not in the range of this function can be found by:
ac=58
Hence, the unique number that is not in the range of f  is:      58
