if indeed two functions are inverse of each other, then their composite will render a result of "x", namely, if g(x) is indeed an inverse of f(x), then
Use A = P (1 + r/n) ^(nt). Assuming that we're dealing with years here, n = 1, so we have
A = P (1 + r) ^(t), where r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction.
The investment decreases in value, so the common ratio r is (1.000-0.012), or 0.988.
Thus, A = $100,000* (0.988) ^25 = $73947.52 is the current value, after 25 years.

x:24--- to find x, multiply each side by 6, because 24/4=6

The length of the object is 18 in. I think this is what your asking, but I'm not sure because I didn't quite understand the wording on the problem.
