If h(x) is the inverse of f(x), what is the value of h(f(x))?
Answer:
Inverse function: The function f(x) goes from domain to range and the inverse function \(f^{-1}\) goes from Range to domain
i.,e \(f(f^{-1}(x)) = f^{-1}(f(x)) = x\)
As per the given statement:
if h(x) is the inverse of f(x)
by definition:
\(h(x) = f^{-1}(x)\)
then;
\(h(f(x)) = f^{-1}(f(x)) =(f^{-1}f)(x) = x\)
Therefore, the value of h(f(x)) is x.
If h(x) is the inverse of g(x), the the composite function h(g(x)) is x
Given the function h(x) and g(x). If h(x) is the inverse of f(x), this can be expressed as:
\(h(x)=g^{-1}x\) ................................. 1
We are to get the composite function h(g(x))
Substitute equation 1 into the composite function to have:
\(h(g^{-1}(x))=g(g^{-1}(x)) = x\)
Hence if h(x) is the inverse of g(x), the the composite function h(g(x)) is x
