Linear Transformations, Function Composition

$begingroup$


Considering the transformations



$ f:Re^{2} rightarrow Re^{2}$ and $ g:Re^{2} rightarrow Re^{2}$
defined by



$f(a,b)= (0,b)$, for any $(a,b) in Re^{2}$



and



$g(a,b)=(a,a)$, for any $(a,b) in Re^{2}$



Justify that $0$ = $f circ g$ $neq$ $g circ f$



$0$ is the null transformation of $Re^{2}$



My Resolution:



First I worked out $(f circ g)$:



$(f circ g)(a,b)$ = $f(g(a,b))$ = $f(a,a) = (0,0)$



Then I worked out $(g circ f)(a,b)=g(f(a,b))=g(0,b)=(0,0)???$



What am I dong wrong?

$begingroup$

$gf(a,b)=g(f(a,b))=g((0,b))=(0,0)$.
$fg(a,b)=f(g(a,b))=f((a,a))=(0,a)$.

So we have $gf=0$ but $gfne fg$. Perhaps the problem intended to say "Justify $0=gfne fg.$"

    It says "Justify $0=f circ g neq g circ f$" and it's on the composite function section.

    Well then that's simply incorrect. For example, take $(1,0)$, then $g(1,0)=(1,1)$ and $f(1,1)=(0,1)ne(0,0)$ so $fgne0$.
