Question

Select each pair of functions that are inverses of each other

Answer 1

Answer:

The first two choices only: A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverses are the ones with one relation having point (x,y) and the other relation having point (y,x). This most obvious when looking at points on a table or a list of points.

So the first pair are inverses because per point (x,y) on the first list you have (y,x) on the second list.

Examples:

1st list contains (-5,-9) while second list contains (-9,-5).

1st list contains (3,7) while the second list contains (7,3).

As long as (a,b) is in the first list and (b,a) is in the second or vice versa, then the pair of relations are inverses. So the first choice contains inverses.

Now lets talk about the pair of functions given in function notation.

Let's start with the first.

y=x+7

Extend the first idea more. Just swap x and y and then see after solving for y if what it equals is what g equals then f and g are inverses in the second choice.

x=y+7

Subtract 7 on both sides:

x-7=y

y=x-7

This is what g equals so the second choice is an answer.

The last choice does not contain a pair of inverses. Example: (2,3) is in the first list but (3,2) is not in the second.
