Question

How to find (c,d,e)Please do a step by step working.Thank you.

Answer 1

(a)
The inverse is when you swap the variables and solve for y.
g(t) = 2t - 1 (Note: g(t) represents y)
rewrite as: y = 2t - 1
swap the variables: t = 2y - 1
solve for y: t + 1 = 2y
                   $\frac{t + 1}{2}$ = y
Answer for (a): $g^{-1}(t)$ =  $\frac{t + 1}{2}$

(b)
Same steps as part (a) above:
h(t) = 4t + 3
rewrite as: y = 4t + 3
swap the variables: t = 4y + 3
solve for y: $y =\frac{t - 3}{4}$

Answer for (b): $h^{-1}(t)$ = $\frac{t - 3}{4}$

(c)
$g^{-1} ( h^{-1}(t)) = g^{-1} (\frac{t - 3}{4})$
replace all t's in the $g^{-1}(t)$ equation with $\frac{t - 3}{4}$
 $g^{-1} (\frac{t - 3}{4})$ = $\frac{ \frac{t-3}{4} + 1}{2}$
= $\frac{ \frac{t-3}{4} + \frac{4}{4}}{2}$ = $\frac{ \frac{t - 3 + 4}{4}}{2}$ = $\frac{ \frac{t + 1}{4}}{2} = \frac{t + 1}{8}$
Answer for (c): $g^{-1} ( h^{-1}(t))$ = $\frac{t + 1}{8}$

 (d)
h(g(t)) = h(2t - 1) = 4(2t - 1) + 3 = 8t - 4 + 3 = 8t - 1
Answer for (d): h(g(t)) = 8t - 1

(e)
h(g(t)) = 8t - 1
   y = 8 t - 1
   t = 8y - 1
  t + 1 = 8y
$\frac{t + 1}{8}$ = y
Answer for (e): inverse of h(g(t)) = $\frac{t + 1}{8}$
