The function gg is defined by

g(x)=x+2x−1,x≠1.g(x)=\frac{x+2}{x-1},\qquad x\ne 1.
(a)

Determine the equations of the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the graph of gg

[2]
(b)

Verify algebraically that g(g(x))=xg(g(x))=x for x≠1x\ne 1 Hence state the line of symmetry of the graph of gg and describe how reflection in this line maps the asymptotes found in part (a).
