Chapter 1: Problem 114

Use the functions \(f(x)=x+4\) and \(g(x)=2 x-5\) to find the specified function. $$(g \circ f)^{-1}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The inverse of the composite function (g o f)^-1 is given by y = (x - 3)/2

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the composite function g(f(x))

Firstly, substitute f(x) into g(x). Given by \(f(x) = x + 4\) and \(g(x) = 2x - 5\), we substitute \(f(x)\) in for \(x\) in \(g(x)\) to get \(g(f(x)) = 2(f(x)) - 5 = 2(x + 4) - 5 = 2x + 8 - 5 = 2x + 3\)
02

Find the inverse of the composite function

To find the inverse of a function y = g(f(x)), denoted by (g(f(x)))^-1, we swap x's and y's and solve for y. Let y = 2x + 3, exchanging x and y gives us x = 2y + 3. Solving this equation for \(y\), we get \(y = (x - 3)/2.\) This is the inverse of the composite function.

The annual sales (in thousands of dollars) of the stores each year from 2009 through 2015 can be approximated by the models $$S_{1}=973+1.3 t^{2} \quad \text { and } \quad S_{2}=349+72.4 t$$ where \(t\) is the year, with \(t=9\) corresponding to 2009. (a) Write a function \(T\) that represents the total annual sales of the two stores. (b) Use a graphing utility to graph \(S_{1}, S_{2},\) and \(T\) in the same viewing window.
