#"see explanation"#

Explanation:

#"if "f(g(x))=x" and "g(f(x))=x#

#"then they are inverse functions"#

#f(g(x))=f(1/2x+2)#

#color(white)(f(g(x)))=2(1/2x+2)-4#

#color(white)(f(g(x)))=x+4-4=x#

#g(f(x))=g(2x-4)#

#color(white)(g(f(x)))=1/2(2x-4)+2#

#color(white)(g(f(x)))=x-2+2=x#

#rArrf(x)" and "g(x)" are inverse functions"#
