If f(x)=3 and g(x)=2x, show that fg(x) is a constant function.
Added by Juan A.
Step 1
This means that no matter what value of x we plug in, the output will always be the same. Let's take two arbitrary values of x, say x1 and x2: fg(x1) = 6x1 fg(x2) = 6x2 Since we know that f(x) = 3 is a constant function, it means that no matter what value of x Show more…
