This question is an exact duplicate of:




  • Finding an Inverse Function and Composition of Functions?

    1 answer




The functions of each pair are inverse to each other. For each pair, check that both compositions give the identity function.



$F: mathbb{R} to mathbb{R}$ and $F^{−1}:mathbb{R} to mathbb{R}$ are defined by $F(x)=3x+2$ and $F^{−1}(y)=dfrac{y−2}{3}$, for all $y in Bbb{R}.$



My attempt:



Inverse Function



For each particular but arbitrarily chosen $y in mathbb{R}$, according to the definition of $f^{-1}$, $f^{-1}(y) = dfrac{y-2}{3}$ is a unique real number $x$ such that $f(x) = y$.
begin{align*}
F(x) & = y\
3x + 2 & = y\
x & = frac{y-2}{3}
end{align*}

Therefore, $f^{-1}(y) = frac{y-2}{3}$.



Compositions of Functions.



The functions $g circ f$ and $f circ g$ are defined as follows:
$$(g circ f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(3x + 2) = 3x + 2$$
for all $x in mathbb{Z}$.

  • I know, but in the last lines of your question $g$ just seems to fall from the sky. Further it is said that $g(3x+2)=3x+2$ which implies that $g$ is the identity. Is that really what you meant to say?

  • If $f$ is prescribed by $xmapsto3x+2$ and $g$ is the identity function then $gcirc f$ is indeed prescribed by $xmapsto 3x+2$. Actually then $gcirc f=f$. But I do not see any functionality of this in this context.

If I understand well then you must check whether the functions $mathbb Rtomathbb R$ prescribed by $xmapsto3x+2$ and $xmapstofrac13(x-2)$ are inverses of each other.



That is indeed the case since their compositions are prescribed by: $xmapsto3x+2mapstofrac13((3x+2)-2)=x$ and: $xmapstofrac13(x-2)mapsto3(frac13(x-2))+2=x$ so both are identity functions.



This observation is enough to conclude that the functions are inverses of each other, and is what you are asked to do.
