The value x = 8 is called a fixed point of the function f(x) since f(8) = 8; that is, 8 is fixed-it doesn't move when f is applied to it. Give an explanation for why 8 is a fixed point for any function f(f(f(...f(x)...))). 10 X (c) Linear functions (with the exception of f(x) = x) can have at most one fixed point. Quadratic functions can have at most two. Find the fixed points of the function g(x)=x-12. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) Let f(x) = -x + 4.
