f(x)= 1(1-x), when f(f(f(x))) is graphed, why is it a straight line?

OpenStudy (psymon):

|dw:1379942626333:dw| Is that the line that it shows?

OpenStudy (azureilai):

yes

OpenStudy (psymon):

Yeah, what happens is your answer just flip-flops in a pattern the more f(x)'s you add. Do you know what f(f(x)) means?

OpenStudy (azureilai):

Yes, it would be 1/(1-(1/(1-x)))

OpenStudy (psymon):

Oh okay, your question is missing the division sign, lol.

OpenStudy (azureilai):

oops just realized. f(x) = 1/(1-x)
