Consider the following functions.f(x) = x + 5g(x) = 2x − 1Use the functions to find (g ∘ f)−1.

According to the definition,
[tex](g\circ f)(x)=g(f(x))[/tex]find the composition
[tex]\begin{gathered} g(f(x))=2(x+5)-1 \\ g(f(x))=2x+10-1 \\ g(f(x))=2x+9 \end{gathered}[/tex]then, find the inverse of the function,
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=2x+9 \\ switch\text{ }the\text{ }variables \\ x=2y+9 \\ clear\text{ }for\text{ }y \\ x-9=2y \\ y=\frac{x-9}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer:
[tex](g\circ f)^{-1}=\frac{x-9}{2}[/tex]
