Final answer:

To determine if two functions are inverses of each other, we need to check if both f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x. If both are true, then the functions are inverses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking whether the functions f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other, with the reasoning that f(g(x)) = x. To determine if this is true, we need to check if g(f(x)) = x as well. If g(f(x)) = x, then f(x) and g(x) are inverses. If not, they are not inverses. So, we need to evaluate g(f(x)) and see if it equals x or not.
