Are  and 
 inverses of each other?
This question is testing one's ability to calculation of the composition of functions for the purpose of verifying inverse functions. It is important to recall that there are two compositions of functions that need to be calculated before two functions are verified as inverses.
For the purpose of Common Core Standards, verify by composition that one function is the inverse of another, falls within the Cluster B of build new functions from existing functions concept (CCSS.Math.content.HSF.BF.B).
Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.
Step 1: Calculate  .

First distribute the two in the numerator to the fraction.

Now multiply the one in the denominator by  and add the two terms in the denominator together.
 and add the two terms in the denominator together.



From here, multiple the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

The  in the numerator and in the denominator cancel out as does the two.
