Answer

Yes, the functions f and g are inverses to each other.

Work Step by Step

From the given table, the following can be observed. $\begin{align} & f\left( 6 \right)=6\text{ and }g\left( 6 \right)=6 \\ & f\left( 8 \right)=7\text{ and }g\left( 7 \right)=8 \\ & f\left( 10 \right)=8\text{ and }g\left( 8 \right)=10 \\ & f\left( 12 \right)=9\text{ and }g\left( 9 \right)=12 \\ \end{align}$ From the above observations, it can be concluded that the functions f and g are inverses to each other by the result of inverse function. Thus, the functions f and g are inverses to each other.
