The functions h(x) and w(x) are inverses of eachother. h(-2) = 13. What is w(13)

Answer: w(13) = -2

Explanation:

If a function has a point (a, b), then the function's inverse will have the point (b, a). In other words, the x and y values are swapped for inverses.

We are given the coordinate point (-2, 13) when it's stated that h(-2) = 13. This means that a point on the inverse's graph will be (13, -2). Since we are asked to find w(13), the answer is -2.

We plug the value of 13 into the inverse w(x) function as an x-value, and the corresponding y-value is our answer (here that is -2).
