Find functions f and g such that h = g ∘ f. (note: the answer is not unique. enter your answers as a comma-separated list of functions. use non-identity functions for f and g.) h(x) = 1 x2 − 81

It is given in the question that


h(x) = (fog)(x) = x^2 -81

And
x^2 -81

can also be written as


(x^2 -40) -41

Therefore,


(fog)(x) = (x^2 -40)-41


f(g(x)) = (x^2 -40)-41

That gives,


g(x) = x^2 -40, f(x) = x-41
