Property 14

Composite Function

\(f:A\to B\text{ and }g:B\to C\)
\(\begin{aligned}f(a)&=b\\g(b)&=c\\(g\circ f)(a)&=g(f(a))=g(b)=c\end{aligned}\)

\(g\circ f\) function is called the composite function of f and g.

  • I identity function
\(f\circ f^{-1}=I\qquad f\circ I=f\qquad(f^{-1})^{-1}=f\)
\(f^{-1}\circ f=I\qquad I\circ f=f\qquad(f\circ g)^{-1}=g^{-1}\circ f^{-1}\)
