Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

  • if
    f(x)=(1)/(2)x-2 then what is
    f^-1(x) (the inverse of f(x)? let's find out

  • f(x)=(1)/(2)x-2\\y=(1)/(2)x-2 make f(x) into y
  • Then make y into x and make x into y so
    x=(1)/(2)y-2

  • x=(1)/(2)y-2 now get the new y on the left and everything else on the right

  • x=(1)/(2)y-2\\x+2=(1)/(2)y\\2(x+2)=(2)(1)/(2)y\\y=2x+4 now make y = g(x)

  • g(x)=2x+4
  • So you found the inverse of f(x) and it is the same as g(x), so the functions are inverses of each other
