Question

Verify that f and g are inverses functions using composition , show your steps

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions

f(x) = 12x - 12

g(x) = x/12 - 1

To show they are inverses, we, must show that f(g(x)) = g(f(x))

f(g(x)) = f(x/12 - 1)

Replace x with x/12 - 1 into f(x)

f(g(x)) =12((x-12)/12) - 11

f(g(x)) =  x-1 - 1

f(g(x)) =x - 2

Similarly for g(f(x))

g(f(x)) = g(12x-12)

g(f(x)) =(12x-12)/12 - 1

12(x-1)/12 - 1

x-1 - 1

x - 2

Since f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x -2, hence they are inverses of each other
