Let's find which pair of functions is not a pair of inverse functions.
A. f(x)= x+1/6 and g(x)= 6x-1
For finding the inverse function we substitute x to y
x=(y+1)/6
y= 6x-1 it's our g(x).
It's an inverse function.
B. f(x)= x-4/19 and g(x)= 19x+4
For finding the inverse function we substitute x to y
x= (y-4)/19
y= 19x+4, it's our g (x) it's an inverse function.
C. f(x)= x^5 and g(x)= 5√x
For finding the inverse function we substitute x to y
x= y^5
y=5√x, it's our g(x) its inverse function.
D. f(x)= x/(x + 20) and g(x)= 20x/x-1
For finding the inverse function we substitute x to y
x= y/(y+20)
x(y+20)= y
y(x-1)=-20x
y=(-20x)/(x-1) it's not our g(x) it's not an inverse function. Option D is correct.
