Homework Statement



What is the condition for the function g^(-1)f to exist ?

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



i know for function gf to exist , the range of f must be a subset or equal to the domain of g . Does it also work for g^(-1)f ? what is the logic behind that ?

Do you know which types of relationships are considered functions?

yes , one to one relationships or many to one for functions and one to one only for inverse function
