Answer:

Explanation:

Let find inverse of f(x):

f(x) =
(1)/(x) + 2

y =
(1)/(x) + 2


(1)/(x) = y - 2

x =
(1)/(y -2)

y =
(1)/(x -2) is the inverse of f(x) =
(1)/(x) + 2

Therefore, f(x) and h(x) are not inverses.

==============

h(x) =
(4)/(x-3)

y =
(4)/(x-3)

x =
(4)/(y-3)

y - 3 =
(4)/(x)

y =
(4)/(x) + 3 is the inverse function of h(x)
