hartnn (hartnn):
could you find inverse? ?
let you find inverse function as \(f(x)\)
composition means
\(f(g(x))\)
if your inverse is correct, then \(f(g(x)) = x\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would the inverse be, x(x+3)
hartnn (hartnn):
its (x-3)/x
or x - 3/x
?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(x-3)/x sorrry for not being clear
hartnn (hartnn):
y = (x-3)/x
xy = x-3
xy - x = -3
x (y-1) = -3
x= -3/(y-1)
so your inverse function is
-3/(x-1)
did u get how i got the inverse ?

yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what about using composition to justify the result?
hartnn (hartnn):
if \(f(g(x))=x\)
then f and g are inverses of each other
g(x) = (x-3)/x
f(x) = -3/(x-1)
hartnn (hartnn):
to get f(g(x)) , plug in the expression of g(x) in f(x)
hartnn (hartnn):
wherever you see 'x' in f(x)
just replace it by
(x-3)/x
