_______________
• Function: f(x) = 3x + 12.
A. Finding the inverse of f.
The composition of f with its inverse results in the identity function:
(f o g)(x) = x
f[ g(x) ] = x
3 · g(x) + 12 = x
3 · g(x) = x – 12
x – 12
g(x) = ⸺⸺

x
g(x) = ⸺ – 4 <——— this is the inverse of f.

C. Since f and g are inverse, then
f(g(– 2))
= (f o g)(– 2)
= – 2 <span>✔
</span>
• Call h the compositon of f and g. So,
h(x) = (f o g)(x)
h(x) = x
As you can see above, there is no restriction for h. Therefore, the domain of h is R (all real numbers).
I hope this helps. =)
