Let f(x) be a polynomial satisfies the relation f(f(f(x)) + (1 – p) f(x) = 3, x R, where p is any real number. If leading coefficient of f(x) is 2 then find the value of

Let degree of f(x) be n.
degree of f(f(f(x))) = degree of f(x)
⇒ n3 = n ⇒ n = 1
Let f(x) = 2x + b
( leading coefficient = 2)
f(f(f(x))) = 2(4x + 3b) + b = 8x + 7b
8 + 2 – 2p = 0 ⇒ p = 5
and 7b – 4b = 3 ⇒ b = 1
f (x) = 2x + 1
f(f(x)) = 4x + 3
f–1(x) = ⇒ 2f–1(x) + 1 = x
