Determine whether each pair of functions are inverse functions. Write yes or no.

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.

If x and ​(19x+30​) are the measures of complementary​ angles, what is the measure of each​ angle?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

3° and 87°

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>here's</em><em> your</em><em> </em><em>solution</em>

<em> </em><em>=</em><em>></em><em> </em> we know that measure of complementary angle is 90°

=>. one angle is. = x

=> other angle is .= (19x + 30)

=> so, x + 19x + 30° = 90°

=> 20x + 30° = 90°

=> 20x = 60°

=> x = 60/20

=> x = 3°

hence one angle is 3° and other is 87°

hope it helps
