Suppose \(f\) and \(g\) are functions, each of whose domain consists of four numbers, with \(f\) and \(g\) defined by the tables below: $$ \begin{array}{c|c} {x} & {f}({x}) \\ \hline {1} & 4 \\ 2 & 5 \\ 3 & 2 \\ 4 & 3 \end{array} $$ $$ \begin{array}{c|c} x & g(x) \\ \hline 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 \\ 4 & 4 \\ 5 & 1 \end{array} $$ Give the table of values for \(f^{-1} \circ g^{-1}\).
Suppose $$ h(x)=2+\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^{2}+1}} $$ (a) If \(g(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2}+1},\) then find a function \(f\) such that \(\bar{h}=f \circ g\) (b) If \(g(x)=x^{2},\) then find a function \(f\) such that \(h=f \circ g\).
Suppose \(f\) is a function whose domain equals \\{2,4,7,8,9\\} and whose range equals \(\\{-3,0,2,6,7\\} .\) Explain why \(f\) is a one-to-one function.
A constant function is a function whose value is the same at every number in its domain. For example, the function \(f\) defined by \(f(x)=4\) for every number \(x\) is a constant function. Give an example of three functions \(f, g,\) and \(h\), none of which is a constant function, such that \(f \circ h=g \circ h\) but \(f\) is not equal to \(g\).
In Exercises \(37-40,\) find functions \(f\) and \(g,\) each simpler than the given function \(h\), such that \(\boldsymbol{h}=\boldsymbol{f} \circ \mathrm{g}\) $$ h(x)=\frac{3}{2+x^{2}} $$
