Answer:
f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions
Step-by-step explanation:
In the two functions f(x) and g(x) if, f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x, then
f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions
Let us use this rule to solve the question
∵ f(x) = 3x²
∵ g(x) = ![\sqrt{\frac{x}{3}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B3%7D%7D)
→ Find f(g(x)) by substitute x in f(x) by g(x)
∴ f(g(x)) = 3(
)²
→ Cancel the square root with power 2
∴ f(g(x)) = 3(
)
→ Cancel the 3 up with the 3 down
∴ f(g(x)) = x
→ Find g(f(x)) by substitute x in g(x) by f(x)
∴ g(f(x)) = ![\sqrt{\frac{3x^{2}}{3}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7B%5Cfrac%7B3x%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7B3%7D%7D)
→ Cancel the 3 up with the 3 down
∴ g(f(x)) = ![\sqrt{x^{2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7Bx%5E%7B2%7D%7D)
→ Cancel the square root with power 2
∴ g(f(x)) = x
∵ f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x
→ By using the rule above
∴ f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions
