This problem says for each pair of functions f and g, find f of g of x and g of f of x, and then determine whether f and g are inverses of each other.
00:09
And when we are asked to find if two functions are inverses of each other, what needs to be true is that f of g of x needs to evaluate to be x, and g of f of x needs to evaluate to be x.
00:20
And if both of those are true, then they are inverses of each other.
00:23
But if we get any other result than x, that means that they are not inverses of each other.
00:28
So for part a, first for f of g of x, that means we are going to take the g of x function, which is x minus 2, and make it the input of the f of x function.
00:38
So that would be x minus 2 for x, and then plus 2, that's x minus 2 plus 2, and negative 2 plus 2 cancels out...
