  1. The function \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) is defined by $$f ( x ) = \frac { 1 - x } { 1 + x } , x \neq - 1$$ Show that \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { f } ( x ) ) = x\).
    Hence write down \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\).
  2. The function \(\mathrm { g } ( x )\) is defined for all real \(x\) by $$\mathrm { g } ( x ) = \frac { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } { 1 + x ^ { 2 } }$$ Prove that \(\mathrm { g } ( x )\) is even. Interpret this result in terms of the graph of \(y = \mathrm { g } ( x )\).
