Question

74. Inverse of composite functions a. Let g(x) = 2x + 3 and h(x) = x^3. Consider the composite function f(x) = g(h(x)). Find f^-1 directly and then express it in terms of g^-1 and h^-1. b. Let g(x) = x^2 + 1 and h(x) = sqrt(x). Consider the composite function f(x) = g(h(x)). Find f^-1 directly and then express it in terms of g^-1 and h^-1. c. Explain why if g and h are one-to-one, the inverse of f(x) = g(h(x)) exists.
