myininaya (myininaya):

So have you tried pluggin in as directed?

myininaya (myininaya):

plug g into f and also plug f into g?

myininaya (myininaya):

\[f(g(x))=f(\sqrt[3]{x-4}) \text{ means you will replace the x \in f with } \sqrt[3]{x-4}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

Try replacing the x with the cuberoot(x-4) in f and simplify

myininaya (myininaya):

simplify that the cube and cube root cancel

myininaya (myininaya):

\[f(g(x))=f(\sqrt[3]{x-4})=(\sqrt[3]{x-4})^3+4\]

myininaya (myininaya):

Try simplifying f(g(x)) that I wrote above You should be confirming the results above that we will get x

myininaya (myininaya):

then we will also have to do g(f(x))

OpenStudy (chris215):

is that it after that?

myininaya (myininaya):

Yep you are just to confirm that f(g(x))=x and g(f(x))=x You must simplify both f(g(x)) and g(f(x)) and show they are both just equal to x.

OpenStudy (gorv):

no no weneed to find their inverse and thn equate their inverse

myininaya (myininaya):

They only want us to confirm that f and g are inverses
