Answer:

  • A matches with 5.
  • B matches with 3.
  • C matches with 2.
  • D matches with 6.
  • E matches with 4.
  • F matches with 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function [tex]f(x)[/tex], we let [tex]f(y)=x[/tex] and then solve again for y.

For example, using [tex]g(x)=-0.5x[/tex], we will let [tex]g(y)=x[/tex], giving [tex]x=-0.5y[/tex]. This means that [tex]y=-2x[/tex], and thus [tex]g^{-1}(x)=-2x[/tex].

Using similar logic, we see that:

  • A matches with 5.
  • B matches with 3.
  • C matches with 2.
  • D matches with 6.
  • E matches with 4.
  • F matches with 1.
