Also, I forget. Does f o g(x) mean I put f in for all the x values in g, or vice versa?

do inner terms first.  calculate g(x) and put that in f(x).

So I put g(x) in for all x values of f(x)?

f o g(x) = f(g(x))

Aaaaaaaa, make up your mind. D:

So what is it at the beginning of the problem? (1/x) + 1 or 1/(x+1)?
1/(x+1)

I'M DA WINRAR!!!1!1

The answer I posted is the 'correct' one.
XP I'm too technical. >_>

f o g(x) = f(g(x))

ALSO ONE LAST QUESTION.
How does I find f-1(x)? :(

It's the inverse of the function, exempli gratia f(x) = x, f-1(x) = 1/x; f(x) = ex, f-1(x) = ln x.

No, I wondered the same thing, but the format of the problem seemed odd on paper.

The inverse is found by substituting 'x' with 'y' in the equation and solving for 'y'. Note that 'y' really is f(x).

O_o

reversing x and y is less complicated

I know, but somehow...my answer for this one problem ends up weird.

f(x) = 6/(3x+2)
f-1(x) = x(3y+2) - 2/3
That doesn't seem right...

That's what I just did. psyduck;

Then you should have gotten  f-1(x) = 2x - 2/3;
