Answer:
g(f(x)) = x
Yes, the functions are inverses.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We're given:
[tex]f(x) = 8x-7[/tex]
[tex]g(x)=\displaystyle\frac{x+7}{8}[/tex]
To solve for g(f(x)), plug f(x) into g(x) as x:
[tex]g(f(x))=\displaystyle\frac{(8x-7)+7}{8}\\\\g(f(x))=\displaystyle\frac{8x-7+7}{8}\\\\g(f(x))=\displaystyle\frac{8x}{8}\\\\g(f(x))=x[/tex]
Because g(f(x)) = x, the two functions are inverses.
I hope this helps!
