Are these two functions inverses of each other?

f(x)=4x+24

g(x)=1/4x+6

David S.

These two functions are not inverses of each other. If they were then if f(x) = y then g(y) would = x or g(f(x)) would = x... g(4x +24) = 1/4(4x+24) + 6 = x + 6 + 6 = x + 12 so g(f(x)) = x + 12 not x ... proof of not inverse functions... Numerical example f(2) = 4(2) + 24 = 32 g(32) = 1/4(32) + 6 = 14

They are not inverse functions. If they were then g(f(x)) would = x ..... g(4x + 24) = 1/4(4x + 24) +6 = x + 6 + 6 = x + 12......not x 1/4x - 6 would have been an inverse function to 4x + 24
