One way is to solve for the invers of the first function
remembe, to solve, replace f(x) or g(x) with y, switch x and y, solve for y and replace it with f⁻¹(x)

A.
f(x)=x/2+8
y=x/2+8
x=y/2+8
x-8=y/2
2x-16=y
f⁻¹(x)=2x-16
nope, not A


B.
f(x)=3x³+16
y=3x³+16
x=3y³+16
x-16=3y³
(x-16)/3=y³
∛((x-16)/3)=y
f⁻¹(x)=∛((x-16)/3)
nope, not the same
not B

C.
f(x)=18/x-9
y=18/x-9
x=18/y-9
x+9=18/y
y(x+9)=18
y=18/(x+9)
f⁻¹(x)=18/(x+9)
correct, the answer is C

Option C.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

To find the formula for the inverse of a function, solve the equation y = f(x) for x and interchange x and y.

Let's examine the options one by one.

<u>[Option A]</u>

\boxed{ \ f(x) = \frac{x}{2} + 8 \ } \ and \ \boxed{ \ g(x) = 2x - 8 \ }

In the equation y = f(x), both sides are subtracted by 8.

\boxed{ \ y - 8 = \frac{x}{2} \ }

\boxed{ \ \frac{x}{2} = y - 8 \ }

Both sides are multiplied by 2.

\boxed{ \ x = 2(y - 8) \ }

\boxed{ \ x = 2y - 16 \ }

Let's replace \boxed{x \ with \ f^{-1}(x)} \ and \ \boxed{y \ with \ x}.

Thus, the inverse of \boxed{ \ f(x) = \frac{x}{2} + 8 \ } \ is \ \boxed{\boxed{ \ f^{-1}(x) = 2x - 16 \ }}

Therefore f(x) and g(x) are not pairs of functions that inverses of each other.

<u>[Option B]</u>

\boxed{ \ f(x) = 3x^3 + 16 \ } \ and \ \boxed{ \ g(x) = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x}{3}} - 16 \ }

In the equation y = f(x), both sides are subtracted by 16.

\boxed{ \ y - 16 = 3x^3 \ }

\boxed{ \ 3x^3 = y - 16 \ }

Both sides are divided by 3.

\boxed{ \ x^3 = \frac{y - 16}{3} \ }

Next, eliminate the cube on the variable by taking the cube root of both sides of the equation.

\boxed{ \ x = \sqrt[3]{\frac{y - 16}{3}} \ }

\boxed{ \ x = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{y}{3} - \frac{16}{3}} \ }

Let's replace \boxed{x \ with \ f^{-1}(x)} \ and \ \boxed{y \ with \ x}.

Thus, the inverse of \boxed{ \ f(x) = 3x^3 + 16 \ } \ is \ \boxed{\boxed{ \ f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{x}{3} - \frac{16}{3}} \ }}

Therefore f(x) and g(x) are not pairs of functions that inverses of each other.

<u>[Option C]</u>

\boxed{ \ f(x) = \frac{18}{x} - 9 \ } \ and \ \boxed{ \ g(x) = \frac{18}{x + 9} \ }

In the equation y = f(x), both sides are added by 9.

\boxed{ \ y + 9 = \frac{18}{x} \ }

Both sides are multiplied by x and divided by (y + 9) or a crossing occurs between x and (y + 9).

\boxed{ \ x = \frac{18}{y + 9} \ }

Let's replace \boxed{x \ with \ f^{-1}(x)} \ and \ \boxed{y \ with \ x}.

Thus, the inverse of \boxed{ \ \frac{18}{x} - 9 \ } \ is \ \boxed{\boxed{ \ f^{-1}(x) = \frac{18}{x + 9}} \ }}

Therefore, f(x) and g(x) correctly attend pairs of functions that inverses of each other.

<u>[Option D]</u>

To be more skilled, we still eager to properly check Option D.

\boxed{ \ f(x) = 8x^3 - 10 \ } \ and \ \boxed{ \ g(x) = \frac{x^3 + 10}{8} \ }

In the equation y = f(x), both sides are added by 10.

\boxed{ \ y + 10 = 8x^3 \ }

\boxed{ \ 8x^3 = y + 10 \ }

Both sides are divided by 8.

\boxed{ \ x^3 = \frac{y + 10}{8} \ }

Next, eliminate the cube on the variable by taking the cube root of both sides of the equation.

\boxed{ \ x = \sqrt[3]{\frac{y + 10}{8}} \ }

As usual, let's replace \boxed{x \ with \ f^{-1}(x)} \ and \ \boxed{y \ with \ x}.

Thus, the inverse of \boxed{ \ f(x) = 8x^3 - 10 \ } \ is \ \boxed{\boxed{ \ f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x + 10}{8}} \ }}

Therefore f(x) and g(x) are not pairs of functions that inverses of each other.

Two thirds of a number is no more than -10
Aliun [14]
Let x be the number in the problem. When it states that x is "no more than -10", it means than it is less than or equal to -10. So, we have

\frac{2}{3}x≤-10

In order to cancel out the \frac{2}{3} on the left and isolate x, we multiply both sides by \frac{3}{2} (since \frac{3}{2}·\frac{2}{3}=1). Thus, we have

x≤-10·\frac{3}{2}=-15

Therefore, x≤-15
