Question 396938:  For each pair of functions f and g below, find f(g(x)) and g(f(x)). Then, determine whether f and g are inverses of each other. 
 
f(x)= 2/x, x is not equal to 0 
g(x)= 2/x, x is not equal to 0
 
f(g(x))= 
g(f(x))=
 
Are they inverses of each other? Thanks

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! For each pair of functions f and g below, find f(g(x)) and g(f(x)). Then, determine whether f and g are inverses of each other.  
f(x)= 2/x, x is not equal to 0 
g(x)= 2/x, x is not equal to 0  
f(g(x))= f{2/x) = 2/(2/x) = x 
-------- 
g(f(x))= g(2/x) = 2/(2/x) = x 
----------------------------------- 
Are they inverses of each other? 
Yes, because each of the functions undoes what 
the other does.
