(fog)(x) = f(g(x))

if f(x) = 2/x and g(x) = 2/x

f(g(x)) = [2 /(2/x)]
f(g(x)) = [2 * x/2 ]
f(g(x)) = x .............matching the function

answer is
B. f(x) = 2/x and g(x) = 2/x

Answer:


f(x)=(2)/(x) and
g(x)=(2)/(x)

Explanation:

To prove that we have to demonstrate
(f*g)(x)=x

This proof is about a composition of functions, where we have to enter one function inside another, in this case,
g(x) goes inside
f(x). So if results in
x, then will be proved.


(f*g)(x) = (2)/((2)/(x) )

As you can see, the composition is to replace
g(x) for the variable of
f(x).

Solving the expression:


(f*g)(x) = (2)/((2)/(x) )=(2x)/(2)=x

After replacing and applying the composition, we have
x as a result. Therefore, we can say that the pair of functions of option B is the answer, because they satisfy the expression given.
