Answer:
So starting off with 1a f(4)
We simply substitute x with 4 for the function
f(4)=2(4)-5
f(4)=8-5
f(4)=3
Next 1b, here it's a little different since you have to multiply the functions I think ( please correct me if I'm wrong).
gf(4), basically means functions g and f are being multiplied and their variables are being substituted with 4.
g(4)=4^2+3
g(4)=16+3
g(4)=19
and we also know from before that f(4)=3, so we'll do 19 times 3 which is 57
For the next two, I may be wrong, but I'm still going to try:
anything to the power of a negative is a fraction so for f^-1(x)=2x-5 we'll have 1/f(x)=x/2+5/2
And then for g^-1, we'll have 1/g(x)=
Hope I helped :)

Hi! I'm happy to help!
Our town is composed of 2,000 people. Of those 2,000 people, 4/5 of them are middle class. The word 'of' usually means multiplication when it is in a word problem. So, we will multiply 2,000 by 4/5. When multiplying a whole number, we just multiply it by the numerator (top) and leave the denominator. (bottom)
2,000×4
8,000
8,000/5
Fractions are just a different way of putting division, so we can change this to a division problem:
8,000÷5=
1,600
1,600 of the people are middle class.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
