Answer: The inverse of f(x) is not g(x).

Explanation:

Steps taken:

  1. Swap x and y variables
  2. Solve for y
  3. Prove that the equations of f'(x) and g(x) are identical.

1.


f(x) = x + 10\\y = x + 10\\x = y + 10

2.


x = y + 10\\y = x - 10

The inverse of f(x) is x - 10, which does not match with g(x).
