Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to solve this. The first way is to calculate g(f(x)) (or f(g(x))). If f and g are inverse functions f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x.

g(f(x)) = (1/4)(2sqrt(x - 5))^2 - 5

= (1/4)*2^2*sqrt(x - 5)^2 - 5

= (1/4)*4*(x - 5) - 5

= x - 5 - 5

= x - 10

g(f(x)) = x - 10 =/= x, so the two functions are not inverse functions.

You can also solve this by using a test value a and calculating g(f(a)). If f and g are inverse functions, the result will be a.

For example, let a = 6.

f(6) = 2*sqrt(6 - 5)

= 2*sqrt(1)

= 2*1

= 1

g(f(6)) = g(1)

= (1/4)*1^2 - 5

= (1/4)*1 - 5

= 1/4 - 5

= -4 3/4

=/= 6

Therefore f and g are not inverse functions

Please note that this technique does not work in the other direction. If g(f(a)) = a, this does NOT prove that f and g are inverse functions.

The graph of y = |2 is shifted to the left by 6 units.<br> What is the equation of the new graph?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

From your question, I am assuming you are talking about an absolute value graph. In this case the answer would be y = |2 + 6|

Step-by-step explanation: Always remember, when you are graphing absolute value graphs:

When you shift left or right, you put the amount you are shifting inside the absolute value sign.

When you are shifting up or down, you put the amount you are shifting outside the absolute value sign.

When shifting left on a graph, you usually think of subtraction. However, when dealing with absolute value graphs, when you are shifting left, you use addition, as you can see in this problem.

The same goes for right. You use subtraction when shifting right, contrary to what you may think.

However, when you go up, you still use addition, and when you shift down, you still use subtraction.
