A.Use composition to prove whether or not the functions are inverses of each other. B.Express the domain of the compositions using interval notation. https://ignitiumwa.ignitiaschools.com/media/g_alg02_ccss_2016/1/g_alg02u01l09_q12_ps.gif This is what I got for A g(1/x-3)=x, f(3x+1/x)=x

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

ok @fran345 do you know how to find inverse functions?

OpenStudy (fran345):

Not that much. I know you switch the range with the domain.

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

ok, for A, I am not sure if use composition means this: f(g(x)) but I go with my way

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

|dw:1475444346230:dw|

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

so yes, they are inverses of each other

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

@fran345

OpenStudy (fran345):

ok, would the domain be (-infinity, infinity) for both?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

not quite right, domain is what x can and cannot be you cannot have a fraction with 0 as the denominator

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

so for f (x), what would make the bottom = 0

OpenStudy (fran345):

3?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

yep so for domain, x cannot be 3

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

tell me, what would it be in interval notation

OpenStudy (fran345):

(0,3)?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

(- infinity, 3) U (3, infinity)

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

because any other x value will be ok

OpenStudy (fran345):

ok, is that the same for g(x)?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

well for g (x), what would make the bottom 0

OpenStudy (fran345):

3?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

0 :D

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

ok write in interval notation

OpenStudy (fran345):

(-infinity, infinity)

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

(- infinity, 0) U (0, infinity)

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

btw, do you know what the "U" is

OpenStudy (fran345):

union

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

kk goodie

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

but do you see how to do it?

OpenStudy (fran345):

yes

OpenStudy (fran345):

I'm working on getting a extra help after school, but thanks for your help.

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

ok np
