Find an example to show that the composition of two functions need not be commutative. That is, g ° f ≠ f ° g.
Since the composition of two functions is not commutative, we must be careful about the order in which they are written. Unfortunately, the standard notation almost seems backward. That is, the function g ° f is evaluated by applying f first and then g. This is due to the formula notation
![]()
in which we evaluate “from the inside out” instead of “left to right.” Fortunately, the composition of functions is associative. This is easy to show and is left as an exercise. It is also true that composition preserves the properties of being surjective or injective.
