If
is the inverse of
, then by definition of inverse functions,

Given
, the inverse, if its exists, satisfies the equation above. Evaluate
at the inverse, we have

Solve for the inverse:



Given
, we do the same thing as before to find its inverse.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponents with fractions in them are really just radical notation in a different form. You've probably seen the square root sign.
That can be written as
x^(1/2)
...and when you take an even root of a negative number, there is no real answer. (2 is an even number).
Looking at the answer choices here, we can see that B and D use even roots, so they will give non-real answers.
So, A and C are the answer choices to select.
Answer:
D -9
Step-by-step explanation:
(g o f)(-1) = g(f(-1))
f(-1) = 
g(-4) = -4 - 5 = -9
So, (g o f)(-1) = -9
