Answer

Option D is the pair of functions which is not a pair of inverse function.

Step-by-step explanation

First of, the inverse of a function is a function that reverses the actions of the function. That is, for the inverse function, if we are given f(x), we would be able to obtain x.

The step to finding a function's inverse is to write y instead of f(x). We then rewrite by replacing the y by x and then make y the subject of formula, the y which is a subject of formula now, represents the inverse function, f⁻¹(x).

For each of them, we can get the other one from it.

f(x) = (x + 1)/6

y = (x + 1)/6

x = (y + 1)/6

Cross multiply

6x = y + 1

y = 6x - 1

g(x) = 6x - 1

f(x) = (x - 4)/19

y = (x - 4)/19

x = (y - 4)/19

19x = y - 4

y = 19x + 4

g(x) = 19x + 4

f(x) = x⁵

y = x⁵

x = y⁵

y = 5√x

g(x) = 5√x

Only option D doesn't give the inverse of the other function.

Hope this Helps!!!
