Question

Let f:RR be defined by  f(x)=ax+bxR when a,bR and a1 If (fofofofof )(x) = 32x +93, then value of b is

Moderate
Solution

 (fof)(x)=f(f(x))=af(x)+b  =a(ax+b)+b=a2x+ab+b  (fofof)(x)=(fof)(f(x)) =a2f(x)+ab+b =a3x+(a2+a+1)b  (fofofof)(x)=a3f(x)+(a2+a+1)b =a4x+(a3+a2+a+1)b =a4x+a41a1b  (fofofofof)(x)=a4f(x)+a41a1b

 =a5x+a4b+a41a1b =a5x+a51a1b a5=32a=2 

Thus, 31b = 93 b=3
