Answer:

g(x) is not the inverse of f(x)

Explanation:

If f(x)=5x-25 and g(x) = 5x+5, which expression could be used to verify g(x) is the inverse of fx)

We need to show that f(g(x)) = g(f(x))

f(g(x)) = f(5x+5)

f(5x+5) = 5(5x+5) - 25

f(5x+5) =25x+25 - 25

f(5x+5) = 25x

f(g(x)) = 25x

Similarly;

g(f(x)) = g(5x-25)

g(5x-25) = 5(5x-25) + 5

g(5x-25) = 25x - 125 + 5

g(5x-25) = 25x - 120

This shows that g(x) is not the inverse of f(x)
