Let f(x)=ax+b and g(x)=cx+d,a≠0,c≠0. Assume a=1,b=2. If (f∘g)(x)=(gof)(x) for all x, what can you
say about c and d?
c and d both arbitary
c = 1, d arbitrary
c arbitrary, d
c=1,d=1
(fog)(x)=f(g(x))=a(cx+d)+b
and (gof)(x)=f(f(x))=c(ax+b)+d
Given that (fog)(x)=(gof)(x) and at a=1,b=2
⇒cx+d+2=cx+2c+d⇒c=1 and d is arbitary
