Verify if 

f(x)=(x+4)/2

 and

g(x)=2(x-4)

  are inverses or not.

Put one function in for "x"  into the other equation, so f(g(x)), which is 

((2x+4) + 4)/2

=(2x+8)/2

=(2x)/2 + 8/2

=x+4      NO!!

If  

f(x)=-3(x+2)^2 {x>=-2}

, then find

f^-1(-27)

 .

You can do it 2 different ways:

1.

f^-1 (-27)

 is the input for the INVERSE, so it's the output for the original, so 

-27=-3(x+2)^2

Then you can undo both sides, solve it and get 

x=1.

2. You can find the inverse, then put in -27 for x.

f^-1(x)=sqrt(x/-3)-2

f^-1(27)=sqrt(-27/-3)-2

=sqrt(9)-2

=3-2=1

 0 | -2 

1 | -1

 2 | -2

If the graph below is

f(x)

, find  

f^-1(-2)

.

The input for the inverse is the OUTPUT for the original equation.  So go to where the output is -2.  What is the input?


-4.

Verify that

f(x)=2x-1 and g(x)=(x+1)/2

 are inverses.

Plug one function in for "x" in the other equation,

2((x+1)/2)-1=(x+1)-1=x

  so YES!
