How could you find for yourself if they are or are not inverses? What it means is that one function undoes the other function. Use the idea. What is f(g(x))? What is g(f(x))? Form either of those compositions and simplify. What happens?

Try doing this:

g%28f%28x%29%29=%286%28%282%29%2F%28x%2B6%29%29%2B2%29%2F%28%282%29%2F%28x%2B6%29%29
