Answer: choice C) 2

------------------------------------------------

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse function simply undoes whatever the original function does. The same can be said vice versa. If the function adds one to a number, then the inverse function subtracts one to get back to the original input. Think "inverse" as "opposite".

If g(x) is the inverse function of f(x), then f(g(x)) = x for all x in the domain. Whatever the input is, the composition of any function and its inverse leads back to that same input.

So, f(g(2)) = 2.
