g%28f%28x%29%29=sqrt%28%28%282x%5E2-3%29%2B3%29%2F2%29

sqrt%28%282x%5E2-3%2B3%29%2F2%29

sqrt%28%282x%5E2%29%2F2%29

sqrt%28x%5E2%29

x-----------g of f works.


Now, try the same for composition f%28g%28x%29%29. Does this also return the input variable? If yes, then for certain, f and g are inverses.
