Answer

Next, substitute x=y+23 into the first relation to get y=3(y+23)2=y.

Steps

Step 1 :To check if two relations are inverses of each other, we can apply the composite of the two functions in both orders and see if the result simplifies to x in both cases.

Step 2 :First, substitute y=3x2 into the second relation to get x=(3x2)+23=x.

Step 3 :Next, substitute x=y+23 into the first relation to get y=3(y+23)2=y.
