Inverse Functions
Examine the following table. Is it possible that $f$ and $g$ are inverses of each other? Why or why not? $\begin{array}{|r|r|r|}\hline x & {f(x)} & {g(x)} \\ \hline 6 & {6} & {6} \\ {7} & {6.5} & {8} \\ {8} & {7} & {10} \\ {9} & {7.5} & {12} \\ {10} & {8} & {14} \\ {11} & {8.5} & {16} \\ {12} & {9} & {18} \\ \hline\end{array}$
