Which pairs of function are inverses of each other?

choose all answers that are correct.

f(x) = 5x + 10 and g(x) = 0.2x -2

f(x) = x^2 + 3 and g(x) = ± √x+3

f(x) = 1/2x + 7 and g(x) = 2x -7

f(x) = 1/4x -1 and g(x) = 4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

f and g will be inverses if f(g(x)) = x.

A — f(g(x)) = 5(0.2x -2) +10 = x -10 +10 = x . . . . . inverses

B — f(g(x)) = (±√x+3)^2 +3 = x ±6√x +9 +3 ≠ x . . . . . not inverses

  (even if it is g(x) = ±√(x+3), the functions are still not inverses)

C — 1/2(2x -7) +7 = x -7/2 +7 = x +7/2 ≠ x . . . . . not inverses

D — 1/4(4x +4) -1 = x +1 -1 = x . . . . . inverses

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
