Answer:
No, they are not inverses.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out if this are inverses we will have to switch the x and y in one of the equations. Let's do it with the second equation:
(Remember that f(x)/g(x) and y are virtually the same)
y = -4x + 2
Switch x and y
x = -4y + 2
Now solve for y
x - 2 = -4y
[tex]-\frac{x}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = y\\-\frac{x}{4} + \frac{1}{2} = y[/tex]
Therefore, the 2 functions in the question are not inverses of each other because the actual inverse has a negative in front of the -x/4.
I hope this helps!!
