Answer:

The answer is "It must be shown that both
j(k(x))\ and \ k(j(x))=x"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:


j(x) = 11.6 e^(x) \\\\k(x) =\ln(x)/(11.6)

To show that both are equal functions, and show that both
j(k(x))\ and\ k(j(x)) =x,

For
j(k(x));


j(k(x)) = j[(\ln (x)/(11.6))]\\\\j[(\ln ((x)/(11.6))] = 11.6e^{\ln ((x)/(11.6))}\\\\j[(\ln (x)/(11.6))] = 11.6((x)/(11.6))\\\\(The natural logarithm is canceled by exponential function)


j[(\ln (x)/(11.6))] = 11.6 *(x)/(11.6)\\\\j[(\ln (x)/(11.6))] = x\\\\j[k(x)] = x\\\\for\ \ k[j(x)]:\\\\k[j(x)] = k[11.6e^x]\\\\k[11.6e^x] = \ln ((11.6e^x)/(11.6))\\\\k[11.6e^x] = \ln(e^x)

Its natural logarithm leaving x will nullify expanding universe.


k[11.6e^x] = x\\\\k[j(x)] = x

In the question, it is seen that
j[k(x)] = k[j(x)] = x, shows that the functions
j(x) = 11.6 e^(x) \ and \ k(x) = \ln (x)/(11.6) is inverse functions.
