Example Question #81 : Building Functions
Are and inverses of each other?
Yes
No
No
This question is testing one's ability to calculation of the composition of functions for the purpose of verifying inverse functions. It is important to recall that there are two compositions of functions that need to be calculated before two functions are verified as inverses.
For the purpose of Common Core Standards, verify by composition that one function is the inverse of another, falls within the Cluster B of build new functions from existing functions concept (CCSS.Math.content.HSF.BF.B).
Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.
Step 1: Calculate .
Given
can be found as follows.
Step 2: Calculate .
Step 3: Is and equal to ?
In order for two functions to be the inverse of one another the composition of their functions must equal . This is due to the fact that evaluating a function at the inverse function value are opposite operations and will cancel out to leave just .
Since and are not equal to they are not inverse functions of each other.
