2) no. A composite is not the same as a product of the functions. You can’t do much with simplifying unless you know what the funtions are.

3) f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) is true only for inverse funtions such as f(x)=x² and g(x)=√x, then the composites each way both come out x. But in general they are not equal.

2. i think f(x)g(x) means multiply f and g. how about you say

(f o g)(x) just to make sure.

3. no. im sure it is possible, but i think you have to have a certain equation for both g and f. so no, it will not.

2…I’m unsure, will have to figure it out

3…is correct

example

F=2

G=3

X=4

F(G(X))

2(3(4))

3×4=12

2×12=24

G(F(X))

3(2(4))

2×4=8

3×8=24
