Complete the following statements using m(x) = x² and n(x) = x – 3. m(n(x)) = m(x – 3) = ( X, -3, 0r X-3 )²
n(m(x)) = n(x²) = x² – (-3,3, or 9)
Because m(n(x)) is NOT EQUAL TO, EQUAL TO, or IS LESS THAN n(m(x)), the composition of m and n is not commutative. Therefore, function composition is not commutative.
