Problem

The one-to-one functions $g$ and $h$ are defined as follows. \[ \begin{array}{l} g(x)=\frac{x+13}{11} \\ h=\{(-4,2),(3,-6),(7,8),(8,0)\} \end{array} \] Find the following. \[ \begin{array}{r} g^{-1}(x)=\frac{x+13}{11} \\ \left(g^{-1} \circ g\right)(-2)=41 \\ h^{-1}(8)=11 \\ \hline \end{array} \]

Solution

Step 1 :Since \(g\) is the function that adds 13 and then divides by 11, \(g^{-1}\) is the function that multiplies by 11 and then subtracts 13. This lets us compute from inside out:

Step 2 :\(g^{-1}(g(-2))\) becomes \(g^{-1}(1)\) after substituting \(-2\) into \(g(x)\) and simplifying.

Step 3 :Then, \(g^{-1}(1)\) becomes \(11*1-13=\boxed{-2}\) after substituting \(1\) into \(g^{-1}(x)\) and simplifying.

Step 4 :\(h^{-1}(8)\) is the x-value such that \((x,8)\) is in the function \(h\). Looking at the definition of \(h\), we see that \(h^{-1}(8)=\boxed{7}\).
