The image contains a series of mathematical problems where we need to determine whether the given functions are inverse functions of each other using the definition of inverse functions. Let's go through each problem step-by-step:

### 1. Problem 1
\[ f(x) = 2x + 3, \quad g(x) = \frac{x - 3}{2} \]

To check if \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) are inverses, we must verify:
1. \( f(g(x)) = x \)
2. \( g(f(x)) = x \)

### 2. Problem 2
\[ f(x) = x^2 + 1, \quad g(x) = \sqrt{x - 1} \]

Here, we need to check the same conditions for \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \).

### 3. Problem 3
\[ f(x) = \frac{x + 1}{x - 2}, \quad g(x) = \frac{2x + 1}{x - 1} \]

Again, check if \( f(g(x)) = x \) and \( g(f(x)) = x \).

### 4. Problem 4
\[ f(x) = \frac{x}{x - 2}, \quad g(x) = \frac{2x}{x - 1} \]

Check if they satisfy the inverse function conditions.

### 5. Problem 5
\[ f(x) = \frac{x + 2}{x - 7}, \quad g(x) = \frac{7x + 2}{x - 1} \]

Check the inverse function conditions here as well.

I'll now go ahead and solve each problem. Let's start by verifying the first one.

#### Problem 1 Solution

To verify if \( f(x) = 2x + 3 \) and \( g(x) = \frac{x - 3}{2} \) are inverses:

1. Compute \( f(g(x)) \):
\[
f(g(x)) = f\left( \frac{x - 3}{2} \right) = 2 \left( \frac{x - 3}{2} \right) + 3 = x - 3 + 3 = x
\]

2. Compute \( g(f(x)) \):
\[
g(f(x)) = g(2x + 3) = \frac{(2x + 3) - 3}{2} = \frac{2x}{2} = x
\]

Since both \( f(g(x)) = x \) and \( g(f(x)) = x \), the functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) are inverses.
