Answer:

The two functions are inverses.

Explanation:

We are supposed to find whether the two functions are inverses.


f(x)=5x+4


g(x)=(x-4)/(5)

To find the inverse of f(x)

y = 5x+4

y-4=5x


(y-4)/(5)=x

Replace x with y and y with x

So,
(x-4)/(5)=y

So,
(x-4)/(5)=g(x)

So,The two functions are inverses.
