Functions and their Inverses

f x 4x
Are the following functions inverses? Explain how you know.

g x

1
x
4

There is another way to prove that two functions are inverses: By using
____________________ functions.
Lets find f g x

and

g f x

When BOTH of these functions = ______, that means that the functions are
inverses of each other!
