Error Analysis: Your friend used some simple functions and found the following to be true for particular functions f and g and concluded that function composition is commutative.

Give an example to show that your friend is mistaken.
Define each of the following in your counterargument:
f(x)
g(x)
(f °g)(x)
(g ° f)(x)
Note: To form a counterexample, (f °g)(x) should not equal (g ° f)(x).
