  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
    +close
    
  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

The function f is the inverse of the function g if and only if f(g(x)) = x.

#

For all x such that x is in the domain of g and g(x) is in the domain of f.

? can you explain little more

...I'm not sure that I can. This is literally just a definition, I don't know what's not to get.

limber prairie
#

okay sorry then, but thanks for what you put

#

I mean, I'm seriously asking, what don't you understand about the definition I gave you?

limber prairie
#

Just the question as well. I've never been good with math, so it's not easy to understand. I get the definition now, but not the problem.

...you want to determine whether f and g are inverses.

#

f is an inverse of g if and only if f(g(x)) = x.

#

Therefore...?

so 2 inverse functions have f(g(x))=g(f(x))=x right?
