Composition of Functions and Modeling

Question 168713 • EAP-Algebra Functions and Data Analysis A CR

Which statement describes function composition with respect to the commutative property?

Answer
A
Given f(x) = x² – 4 and g(x) = x – 3, (f ∘ g)(2) = –3 and (g ∘ f)(2) = –3, so function composition is commutative.
Option A
B
Given f(x) = 2x – 5 and g(x) = 0.5x – 2.5, (f ∘ g)(x) = x and (g ∘ f)(x) = x, so function composition is commutative.
Option B
C
Given f(x) = x² and g(x) = , (f ∘ g)(4) = 16 and (g ∘ f)(4) = 4, so function composition is not commutative.
Option C
D
Given f(x) = 4x and g(x) = x², (f ∘ g)(x) = 4x² and (g ∘ f)(x) = 16x², so function composition is not commutative.
Option D
