$f: R \rightarrow R ; g: R \rightarrow R$ are two functions such that $\mathrm{f}(x)=2 x-3,…
$f: R \rightarrow R ; g: R \rightarrow R$ are two functions such that $\mathrm{f}(x)=2 x-3, \mathrm{~g}(x)=x^3+5$, then $(f \circ g)^{-1}(-9)$ is
- $-2$
- $2$
- $-\sqrt{2}$
- $\sqrt{2}$
Solution
We have, $\mathrm{f}(x)=2 x-3, \mathrm{~g}(x)=x^3+5$
$\begin{aligned}
\operatorname{fog}(x) & =\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{g}(x)) \\
& =2 \mathrm{~g}(x)-3 \\
& =2\left(x^3+5\right)-3=2 x^3+7
\end{aligned}$
Let $(f \circ g)(x)=y=2 x^3+7$
$\begin{aligned}
& y=2 x^3+7 \\
& \Rightarrow y-7=2 x^3 \\
& \Rightarrow x^3=\frac{y-7}{2} \\
& \Rightarrow x=\left(\frac{y-7}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \\
\therefore \quad & (\text { fog })^{-1}(y)=\left(\frac{y-7}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \\
\therefore \quad & (\text { fog })^{-1}(-9)=\left(\frac{-9-7}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=(-8)^{\frac{1}{3}}=-2
\end{aligned}$
