Solution

gof(x) = gf(x) = g(x2) = sin x2

Go (gof(x)) = g(sin x2) = sin (sin x2)

Fo(gogof(x)) = f(sin (sin x2)) = (sin(sin x2))2

  (sin (sin x2))2 = sin (sin x2)

Sin (sin x2) (sin (sin x2) –1) = 0

Sin (sin x2) = 0               or sin (sin x2) = 1

Sin x2 = np                    sin x2 = 2np + π2

At n = 0                         At n = 0

Sin x2 = 0                      sin  x2=π2

x2 = nπ                          Not possible
