A. Use composition to prove whether or not the functions are inverses of each other.
B.Express the domain of the compositions using interval notation
f(x)= 1/x-5, g(x)=5x+1/x

Respuesta :

They switched the 1/x to a positive and the added 5x. The domains are 1, 2, 3, 4, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0. Hope this helps. 

Answer with explanation:

If f(x) and g(x) are two functions which are Inverses of each other then

either of two will be true.

→fog(x)=x

→ gof (x)=x

⇒fog(x)

=f[g(x)]

[tex]=f(\frac{5 x+1}{x})\\\\=f({5+\frac{1}{x}})\\\\=\frac{1}{({5+\frac{1}{x}-5})}\\\\=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{x}}\\\\=x[/tex]

→ gof (x)

=g[f(x)]

[tex]=g(\frac{1}{x-5})\\\\=5+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{x-5}}\\\\=5+x-5\\\\=x[/tex]

Which shows that f(x)  and g(x) are inverses of each other.

→Domain of f(x)= All Real numbers excluding 5=R-{5}

→Domain of g(x)=All Real numbers  excluding 0=R-{0}

Domain of fog(x)=All Real numbers
