Question 1 • TX-Precalculus A

Under which conditions does the commutative property apply to compositions of f(x) and g(x)?

Answer
A
when f(g(x)) and g(f(x) are inverse functions
B
when f(g(x)) and g(f(x) are equal for at least one value of x
C
when f(g(x)) and g(f(x) are equal for all values of x
D
when f(g(x)) and g(f(x) are not inverse functions

Explanation

Composition is commutative when switching the order of the functions does not change the result. In symbols, this means f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) for every value of x where both compositions are defined. Equality at just one value is not enough to establish the commutative property.
