Q. x=1x=-1\newlinex=1x=1\newlinef(x)=1f(x)=1\newlineg(x)=1g(x)=-1\newlineDetermine whether pair of function FF and gg are inverses. Explain. your reasonin.
  1. Check Composition Results: To determine if two functions are inverses of each other, we need to check if the composition of the two functions results in the identity function. The composition of ff and gg (f(g(x))f(g(x))) should equal xx, and the composition of gg and ff (g(f(x))g(f(x))) should also equal xx.
  2. Compute f(g(x))f(g(x)): Let's first compute f(g(x))f(g(x)). Since g(x)=1g(x) = -1, we substitute 1-1 for xx in the function f(x)f(x).\newlinef(g(x))=f(1)=1f(g(x)) = f(-1) = 1 (since f(x)f(x) is given as 11 for any xx).
  3. Compute g(f(x))g(f(x)): Now let's compute g(f(x))g(f(x)). Since f(x)=1f(x) = 1, we substitute 11 for xx in the function g(x)g(x).g(f(x))=g(1)=1g(f(x)) = g(1) = -1 (since g(x)g(x) is given as 1-1 for any xx).
  4. Evaluate Compositions: We see that f(g(x))=1f(g(x)) = 1 and g(f(x))=1g(f(x)) = -1. For ff and gg to be inverses, we would need f(g(x))=xf(g(x)) = x and g(f(x))=xg(f(x)) = x for all xx in the domain of the respective functions. However, this is not the case here.
  5. Final Conclusion: Since f(g(x))xf(g(x)) \neq x and g(f(x))xg(f(x)) \neq x, we can conclude that ff and gg are not inverses of each other.
