If f(x) = (5x + 3)/(4x-5), x is not equal to 5/4, show that fof is an identity function.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

you mean like a composite function, f(f(x))

OpenStudy (zarkon):

\[f(x)=\frac{5x + 3}{4x-5}\] \[f(f(x))=\frac{5\left(\frac{5x + 3}{4x-5}\right) + 3}{4\left(\frac{5x + 3}{4x-5}\right)-5}\]
