The correct Answer is:
To find a function \( g(x) \) such that \( (g \circ f)(x) = x \) and \( (f \circ g)(x) = x \), we start with the function given: \[ f(x) = \frac{3x + 4}{x - 2}, \quad x \neq 2 \] ### Step 1: Find the Inverse of \( f(x) \) To find \( g(x) \), we need to find the inverse of \( f(x) \). We start by setting \( y = f(x) \): \[ y = \frac{3x + 4}{x - 2} \] Now, we will solve for \( x \) in terms of \( y \). ### Step 2: Rearranging the Equation Multiply both sides by \( x - 2 \): \[ y(x - 2) = 3x + 4 \] Expanding this gives: \[ yx - 2y = 3x + 4 \] ### Step 3: Collecting Like Terms Rearranging the equation to isolate \( x \): \[ yx - 3x = 2y + 4 \] Factoring out \( x \): \[ x(y - 3) = 2y + 4 \] ### Step 4: Solving for \( x \) Now, divide both sides by \( y - 3 \): \[ x = \frac{2y + 4}{y - 3} \] ### Step 5: Expressing \( g(x) \) Since we have expressed \( x \) in terms of \( y \), we can write the inverse function \( g(x) \): \[ g(x) = \frac{2x + 4}{x - 3}, \quad x \neq 3 \] ### Step 6: Conclusion Thus, the function \( g(x) \) is: \[ g(x) = \frac{2x + 4}{x - 3}, \quad x \neq 3 \] ### Verification To verify that \( (g \circ f)(x) = x \) and \( (f \circ g)(x) = x \): 1. **Calculate \( g(f(x)) \)**: \[ g(f(x)) = g\left(\frac{3x + 4}{x - 2}\right) = \frac{2\left(\frac{3x + 4}{x - 2}\right) + 4}{\left(\frac{3x + 4}{x - 2}\right) - 3} \] Simplifying this will yield \( x \). 2. **Calculate \( f(g(x)) \)**: \[ f(g(x)) = f\left(\frac{2x + 4}{x - 3}\right) = \frac{3\left(\frac{2x + 4}{x - 3}\right) + 4}{\left(\frac{2x + 4}{x - 3}\right) - 2} \] Simplifying this will also yield \( x \).
