Question: What Happens If We Graph Both And: Composition of Function and Inverse Function

1) The author graphs the functions y=x3, y=x1/3, and y=x on the same axes from -2 to 2. The graphs all have the same general quadratic shape, turning up and down. 2) For functions f and g, where f:R→R, it is not necessarily true that f2o f = f o f2. While the compositions look similar, they are not the same. 3) The set of functions g where g o f = f o g is not infinite, as g must satisfy a specific relationship with f to be in the set.

COMPOSITION OF FUNCTION AND INVERSE FUNCTION

Question: What happens if we graph both and on the same set of axes, using
the x-axis for the input to both   and   ? 

[Suggestion: go to www.desmos.com/calculator and type {-2 < x < 2},


{–2 < x < 2}, and y = x {–2 < x < 2}, and describe the relationship
between the three curves.] Then post your own example discussing the difficulty of
graph both   and  on the same set of axes.

First of all, I want plot the graph of y=x3 {-2<x<2}, y=x1/3  {-2<x<2}, and y= x{-
2<x<2} as it is shown below. I still want to use this opportunity to describe the
relationship between the three equation. The relationship between them is that
they all have the same graph forms, inform of quadratic equation, turning up and
down as shown in the graph below: [J. Abramson, 2017)

Question: Suppose is a function from the set of real numbers to the


same set with  . We write to represent and . Is
it true that ? Why? Is the set { l }
infinite? Why? 

Meanwhile, I want to say that f2 o f = f o f2. The reason being that the form or the
way they were formed looks alike but not the same. So, the composite function of
f2 and f, is not the same as composite function of f and f2 . The set {g:R →R1 g o f =
f o g } are not infinite. By my own perspective, the reason being that g is an
integer of R → R1 g o f = f o g } [J. Abramson, 2017)

Finally, I want to conclude by saying that, function composition is only one


way to combine existing functions, and another way is to carry out the usual
algebraic operations on functions, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division. We do this by performing the operations with the function outputs,
defining the result as the output of our new function. [J. Abramson, 2017)
