let f(x)=x\x-2 find the function y=g(x) so that (fog)(x)=x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are most likely trying to find the inverse of f(x)=x/x-2 since when inverse functions are composed they equal x or (fog)(x)=x

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf (fog)(x)=x\implies f(\quad g(x)\quad ) = x\\ \textit{only occurs when g(x) is the inverse of f(x), that is}\\ \quad \\p g(x) = f^{-1}(x)\qquad then\\ \quad \\ f(\quad g(x)\quad ) = x\)

shoot I have a p there :|

so find the inverse of f(x) and make g(x) THAT

do you want the steps showing how to invert the equation?
