Supposethat$g(x)=f−1(x)$.If$g(−15)=0$,$g(0)=3$,$g(3)=9$and$g(9)=20$,whatis$f(f(9))$?
Suppose that g(x) = f-1(x) . If g(-15) = 0 , g(0) = 3 , g(3) = 9 and g(9) = 20 , what is f( f(9) ) ?
If g(x) = f-1(x) then we can take f of both sides of the equation to get f( g(x) ) = x
Since f( g(x) ) = x ,
f( g(3) ) = 3
And we know g(3) = 9 so we can substitute 9 in for g(3)
f( 9 ) = 3
Again since f( g(x) ) = x ,
f( g(0) ) = 0
And we know g(0) = 3 so we can substitute 3 in for g(0)
f( 3 ) = 0
So we have found....
f( f(9) ) = f( 3 ) = 0
