could someone help me on this question about composite and inverse functions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is the question 9

@dan815 it's interesting but I don't know how to solve :)

OpenStudy (loser66):

ha!! ok, let me try once \(f(g(x) )=\dfrac{x+2}{3}\) and g(x) = 2x +5 I am trying to write f(g(x) in term of g(x) to find out f(x) got my strategy??

OpenStudy (dan815):

tkae inverse

OpenStudy (loser66):

we have f(g(x)) should be g(x) + something, and the product is \(\dfrac{x+2}{3}\) That is \(\color{red}{(2x+5)} + something = \dfrac{x+2}{3}\) now, manipulate a little bit

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, let dan help

OpenStudy (dan815):

what functions to do on (x+2)/3 to give back 2x+5

OpenStudy (loser66):

It took me 15 minutes to figure it out. hehehe. but my approach is complicated.

OpenStudy (dan815):

((2(x-5))+2)/3 ?

OpenStudy (dan815):

f(x)=?

OpenStudy (dan815):

thats not really good way, i think u shud take inverse

OpenStudy (dan815):

ok umm

OpenStudy (dan815):

I FOUND F(X)=(x-1)/6
