Given:
To find:
Whether f(x) and g(x) are inverse of each other by using that f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x.
Solution:
We know that, two function are inverse of each other if:
and 
We have,
Now,
![[\because g(x)=\dfrac{8}{x}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cbecause%20g%28x%29%3D%5Cdfrac%7B8%7D%7Bx%7D%5D)
![[\because f(x)=\dfrac{8}{x}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cbecause%20f%28x%29%3D%5Cdfrac%7B8%7D%7Bx%7D%5D)
Similarly,
Since, and , therefore, f(x) and g(x) are inverse of each other.
The first two consecutive odd integers are 1 and 3.
The height has to be 3 since the question implies that the height is exceeds the base. So the base is 1. b = 1 cm
The area of a triangle is base*height*(1/2)
Plug in the values for base and height.
1*3*(1/2)
Simplify. Your final answer should be 1.5 cm^2
