Answer:

Part A : see composition process below

Part B :    [tex]Domain=\{x\,|\,x\neq 0\}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Let's use the composition of functions to find if they give the identity : [tex]f(g(x))=x[/tex]  thus proving they are the inverses of each other:

[tex]f(g(x))=f(\frac{5x+1}{x} )=\frac{1}{\frac{5x+1}{x}-5} =\frac{1}{\frac{5x+1-5x}{x}} =\frac{1}{\frac{1}{x} } =x[/tex]

So we have proved they are the inverses of each other.

Part B

Given that the composition is:

[tex]f(g(x))=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{x} }[/tex]

the Domain must exclude x=0, for which this quotient is undefined.

The Domain is then:

[tex]Domain=\{x\,|\,x\neq 0\}[/tex]
