Answer

Yes

Work Step by Step

We apply the identity of the inverse function: $f\left( {{f}^{-1}}\left( x \right) \right)=x$ So the value of $\left( f\circ {{f}^{-1}} \right)\left( 17 \right)=17$ Thus, there is no need to find the value of ${{f}^{-1}}$ in order to determine the value of $\left( f\circ {{f}^{-1}} \right)\left( 17 \right)$.
