Q. For each pair of functions f f and g g below, find f(g(x)) f(g(x)) and g(f(x)) g(f(x)) . Then, determine whether f f and g g are inverses of each other.\newlineSimplify your answers as much as possible.\newline(Assume that your expressions are defined for all x x in the domain of the composition You do not have to indicate the domain.)\newline\begin{tabular}{|l|c|}\newline\hline (a) f(x)=3x,x0 f(x)=\frac{3}{x}, x \neq 0 & (b) f(x)=x+4 f(x)=-x+4 \\\newlineg(x)=3x,x0 g(x)=\frac{3}{x}, x \neq 0 & g g 00 \\\newlineg g 11 & g g 11 \\\newlineg g 33 & g g 33 \\\newlineg g 55 and g g are inverses of each other & g g 77 and g g are inverses of each other \\\newlinef f and g g are not inverses of each other & g g 77 and g g are not inverses of each other \\\newline\hline\newline\end{tabular}
  1. Find f(g(x))f(g(x)): For the pair (a) where f(x)=3xf(x) = \frac{3}{x} and g(x)=3xg(x) = \frac{3}{x}, let's find f(g(x))f(g(x)).
    f(g(x))=f(3x)=3(3x)f(g(x)) = f\left(\frac{3}{x}\right) = \frac{3}{\left(\frac{3}{x}\right)}.
    Simplify the expression.
    f(g(x))=xf(g(x)) = x.
  2. Find g(f(x))g(f(x)): Now let's find g(f(x))g(f(x)) for the same pair.\newlineg(f(x))=g(3x)=3(3x)g(f(x)) = g(\frac{3}{x}) = \frac{3}{(\frac{3}{x})}.\newlineSimplify the expression.\newlineg(f(x))=xg(f(x)) = x.
  3. Functions are inverses: Since f(g(x))=xf(g(x)) = x and g(f(x))=xg(f(x)) = x, functions ff and gg are inverses of each other for pair (a)(a).
  4. Find f(g(x))f(g(x)): For the pair (b) where f(x)=x+4f(x) = -x + 4 and g(x)=x+4g(x) = x + 4, let's find f(g(x))f(g(x)).\newlinef(g(x))=f(x+4)=(x+4)+4f(g(x)) = f(x + 4) = -(x + 4) + 4.\newlineSimplify the expression.\newlinef(g(x))=xf(g(x)) = -x.
