Help? Fill in the Blank Suppose f and g are inverses and f(3) = −9. Then g(−9) =? A 3 B 3i C –21 D 27

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

If they're inverses then they should equal the same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so C?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Hm, no.. here let's make a function: f(x)=-3x

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

if you plug in 3: f(3)=-9 So now plug in -9 into the inverse: y=-3x x=-3y (-1/3)x=y f(-9)=(-1/3)(-9) f(-9)=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

Oh okay. Makes sense. Thanks!
