Question

The composition of functions is commutative.

Open in App
Solution

Define functions and verify to get the desired result.

Let f(x)=x2 and g(x)=x+1
(fog)(x)=f(g(x))
=f(x+1)
=(x+1)2
=x2+2x+1(1)
(gof)(x)=g(f(x))
=g(x2)
=x2+1(2)
Comparing (1) and (2), we get
(fog)(x)(gof)(x)
Therefore, the composition of function f and g is not commutative.

Hence, the given statement is false.
