Note thatg(x) = g(y)
implies thatg(g(x)) = g(g(y))
and hencex = y
from the given equation. That is, 9 is injective. Since 9 is also continuous, 9 is either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing. Moreover, 9 cannot tend to a finite limitL

----+ 00 ,or else we'd have
g(g(x)) - ag(x) = bx,
with the left side bounded and the right side unbounded. Similarly, 9 cannot tend to a finite limit asx

Suppose 9 is strictly increasing. If C2 f:. 0 for some choice of

SinceXo = Cl

we haveg(x) = rlX

Analogously,if 9 is strictly decreasing, then
C2
