What happens if we graph both and on the same set of axes, using the x-
axis for the input to both and ?
When you graph a function and its inverse on the same set of axes, the graphs are
symmetric with respect to the line y = x. The point of intersection is always on this line, and
the graphs essentially swap x and y coordinates. The graph of appears on one side, and its
reflection across y = x represents .
o \( f^2 = (x+1)+1 \)
o \( f^2=x+2 \)
Following:
Since it is true that \( x+3 = x+3 \), \( f^2 \circ f = f \circ f^2 \).

The domain of \( g \circ f \) is dependent to the range of \( f(x) \): (\( -\inft, \inft \)) and that \
( g \circ f \) = \( f \circ g \) and \( g: R \rightarrow R \) is the reason that the domain \( f \circ g
\) mus also be (\( -\inft, \inft \)) which is infinite.
