Okay so starting off I get that this math can be really confusing but you’ll get it if you keep working at it. Don’t give up you got this. For part it it is asking for the volume in cubic feet to do this you multiple H•W•L
H=hight
W=Width
L=Length
Now you don’t really need to know exactly which side is the H,L, or W but since you only have 3 sides with domentions you know that you multiply all three sides now it doesn’t matter what order you do it in.
Please respond if this helped for part A. You got this keep your head up.

now, if we just knew what g(2) is, we'd be golden, however, we dunno
BUT, recall, g(x) is the inverse of f(x), meaning, all domain for f(x) is really the range of g(x) and, the range for f(x), is the domain for g(x)
for inverse expressions, the domain and range is the same as the original, just switched over
so, g(2) = some range value
that means if we use that value in f(x), f( some range value) = 2
so... in short, instead of getting the range from g(2), let's get the domain of f(x) IF the range is 2
thus 2 = 2x+sin(x)
![\bf 2=2x+sin(x)\implies 0=2x+sin(x)-2 \\\\\\ -----------------------------\\\\ g'(2)=\cfrac{1}{2+cos[g(2)]}\implies g'(2)=\cfrac{1}{2+cos[2x+sin(x)-2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%202%3D2x%2Bsin%28x%29%5Cimplies%200%3D2x%2Bsin%28x%29-2%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A-----------------------------%5C%5C%5C%5C%0Ag%27%282%29%3D%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%2Bcos%5Bg%282%29%5D%7D%5Cimplies%20g%27%282%29%3D%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%2Bcos%5B2x%2Bsin%28x%29-2%5D%7D)
hmmm I was looking for some constant value... but hmm, not sure there is one, so I think that'd be it
