Step 1
(a) (f o g)(2) = f(g(2)) = f(a(3(2)-4)) = f(a(2)) = 3a(2)-4 (b) (g o f)(z) = g(f(z)) = a(3z-4) = 3az-4a (c) Show more…

Four functions are given below. Perform the indicated compositions to determine which functions are inverse to each other. Be sure to simplify the results. f(x) = 7x + 13 g(x) = x/7 - 13 h(x) = x/7 - 13/7 j(x) = 7x + 91 f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = Conclusion: f and g are not inverses. f(h(x)) = h(f(x)) = Conclusion: f and h ? inverses. j(g(x)) = g(j(x)) = Conclusion: g and j ? inverses.

Use function composition to determine if f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions. f(x) = √(x+1) and g(x) = x^3 + 1.

In each case find $f(g(x))$ and $g(f(x))$. Then determine whether $g$ and $f$ are inverse functions. $$f(x)=\frac{1}{x}+3, g(x)=\frac{1}{x-3}$$
