Answer

Final Answer: \(g^{-1}(5) = \boxed{-5}\), \(h^{-1}(x) = \boxed{\frac{x - 14}{3}}\), \((h^{-1} ∘ h)(-5) = \boxed{-5}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The first question asks for the inverse of function g at 5. This means we need to find the x-value that corresponds to the y-value of 5 in the function g. Looking at the function g, we can see that the pair (-5,5) is present. This means that \(g^{-1}(5)\) is -5.

Step 2 :The second question asks for the inverse of function h. The function h is given as \(h(x) = 3x + 14\). To find the inverse of this function, we need to swap x and y and solve for y. This will give us the inverse function \(h^{-1}(x)\).

Step 3 :The third question asks for the value of \((h^{-1} ∘ h)(-5)\). This is the composition of the inverse of h and h at -5. Since the inverse of a function undoes the operation of the function, the composition of a function and its inverse will just give the original input. Therefore, \((h^{-1} ∘ h)(-5)\) should be -5.

Step 4 :Final Answer: \(g^{-1}(5) = \boxed{-5}\), \(h^{-1}(x) = \boxed{\frac{x - 14}{3}}\), \((h^{-1} ∘ h)(-5) = \boxed{-5}\)
