Answer 1

There are many functions that could equal $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ to satisfy the equation $y = \frac{8}{x^2} + 2$. Remember that we are going to take $g(x)$ and substitute it into $f(x)$.

For example, we could say $g(x) = \frac{8}{x^2}$ and $f(x) = x + 2$.

Another example would be $g(x) = \frac{1}{x^2}$ and $f(x) = 8x + 2$.

All it takes is some imagination and guess-and-check and you will be able to find some functions. A tip I recommend when finding these functions is to try and break apart the final equation into pieces. For example, rather than simply saying $\frac{8}{x^2}$, you could say $8 \cdot \frac{1}{x^2}$.
