Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
a. Angle y is vertically opposite the angle that measures 80°. Vertically opposite angles are said to be equal to each other, therefore, y = 80°
x + y + 50° = 180° (sum of angles in a ∆)
x + 80° + 50° = 180 (substitution)
x + 130° = 180°
x = 180° - 130° (subtracting 130 from each side)
x = 50°
b. x + 50° = 120° (sum of the 2 opposite interior angles in a ∆ = the exterior angle of the ∆)
x = 120 - 50 (subtracting 50 from each side)
x = 70°
y + x + 50° = 180° (sum of angles in a ∆)
y + 70° + 50 = 180° (substitution)
y + 120° = 180°
y = 180 - 120 (subtracting 120 from each side)
y = 60°
The answer is cube root 8
Hi!
We can see here that this is a composition question.
And since the composition of g of f of x is x, we can conclude that g(x) is the inverse of f(x) (if you're confused, search up the definition of an inverse function).
To find an inverse function, we can take the f(x) function and change the positions of the x and y variables.







Which is answer choice A, to check your work, you can solve the composition of g(f(x)), which will get you x.
