Answer:
The functions are inverses; f(g(x)) = x ⇒ answer D
⇒ answer D
Step-by-step explanation:
* <em>Lets explain how to find the inverse of a function</em>
- Let f(x) = y
- Exchange x and y
- Solve to find the new y
- The new y =
* <em>Lets use these steps to solve the problems</em>
∵
∵ f(x) = y
∴
- Exchange x and y
∴
- Square the two sides
∴ x² = y - 3
- Add 3 to both sides
∴ x² + 3 = y
- Change y by
∴
∵ g(x) = x² + 3
∴
∴ <u><em>The functions are inverses to each other</em></u>
* <em>Now lets find f(g(x))</em>
- To find f(g(x)) substitute x in f(x) by g(x)
∵
∵ g(x) = x² + 3
∴
∴ <u><em>f(g(x)) = x</em></u>
∴ The functions are inverses; f(g(x)) = x
* <em>Lets find the inverse of h(x)</em>
∵ h(x) = 3x² - 1 where x ≥ 0
- Let h(x) = y
∴ y = 3x² - 1
- Exchange x and y
∴ x = 3y² - 1
- Add 1 to both sides
∴ x + 1 = 3y²
- Divide both sides by 3
∴
- Take √ for both sides
∴ ±
∵ x ≥ 0
∴ We will chose the positive value of the square root
∴
- replace y by
∴

Step-by-step explanation:
Function notation: This means the description of the curve is written in the form ...
f(x) = <an expression that describes the curve in terms of independent variable x>
The name of the function does not have to be "f", though f, g, h are traditional for generic functions. In specific cases, the function name might be related to the value the function delivers: <em>cost(n)</em> might be the function that tells you the cost of producing n items, for example.
The functions shown (square root, reciprocal) should be shapes you have memorized. You can check the scale factor at specific values you know, for example, √4 = 2, or 1/1 = 1. Hence both functions have a scale factor of 1 (no scaling).
___
The domain is the horizontal region where the function is defined. Square root is not defined for negative numbers; reciprocal is not defined for 0. Hence the descriptions of the respective domains must exclude these values.
___
The range is the vertical extent of the values each function produces. The domain and range are the same for both functions shown here.
___
Asymptotes are lines the function approaches but does not reach. The square root function has no such lines. (It reaches vertical at x=0.)
The reciprocal function has a vertical asymptote as x=0 (the value of x that makes the function denominator zero). And, it has a horizontal asymptote at y=0, a value that can be approached, but not reached, as x gets large in either the positive or negative directions.
___
End behavior: The square root function heads off toward (∞, ∞). The reciprocal function heads toward the value defined by the horizontal asymptote: y=0 as x gets large in magnitude.
