State if the given functions are inverses
NO LINKS Part 1​

Step-by-step explanation:

3:

h(x)=(-3x-15)/5

let y=(-3x-15)/5

interchanging role of x &y

x=(-3y-15)/5

5x+15=-3y

y=-(5x+15)/3

h-1(x)=-(5x+15)/3

not

equal to f(x)=(-3x-6)/4

Given function are not function of each other .

4:

g(x)=2/3x-2/3

let

y=2/3(x-1)

interchanging role of x &y

x=2/3(y-1)

3/2x+1=y

g-1(x)=3/2x+1

not equal to f(x)=½x+1

Given function are not function of each other .

Problem 1

Explanation:

One way to see if we have an inverse pair or not is to compute these two composite functions

If both result in x, and just that, then we have shown that they are inverses of one another.

f(x) = (2x)/3

f(x) = (2/3)x

f(g(x)) = (2/3)*g(x)

f(g(x)) = (2/3)*(3/2)x

f(g(x)) = x

The steps to show that g(f(x)) = x are very similar

g(x) = (3/2)x

g(f(x)) = (3/2)*f(x)

g(f(x)) = (3/2)*(2/3)*x

g(f(x)) = x

So this verifies that you have the correct answer.

Problem 2

Explanation:

We'll use the same idea as problem 1

f(x) = 2 - (3/4)*x

f(g(x)) = 2 - (3/4)*( g(x) )

f(g(x)) = 2 - (3/4)*( (-4/3)x + 8/3 )

f(g(x)) = 2 - (3/4)*(-4/3)x  - (3/4)*(8/3)

f(g(x)) = 2 + x - 2

f(g(x)) = x

So far so good, but we need to check the other way around as well

g(x) = (-4/3)x + 8/3

g(f(x)) = (-4/3)*( f(x) ) + 8/3

g(f(x)) = (-4/3)*( 2 - (3/4)*x ) + 8/3

g(f(x)) = (-4/3)*(2) + (-4/3)*(-3/4)*x + 8/3

g(f(x)) = -8/3 + x + 8/3

g(f(x)) = x

This verifies that f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other.

Problems 3 and 4 will have similar steps.

what are the options? ?
