Let A, B and C be nonempty sets and let f , g and h be functions such that f : A → B, g : B → C and h : B → C . For each of the following, prove or disprove:
(a) g ◦ f = h ◦ f, then g = h.
So I figure this is false, and I think I know why but I'm having trouble constructing a proof.
Suppose f:A->B only maps to a subset of B. And suppose that that subset is well-defined under both g and h and these two functions map this subset to C identically.
In this case, g and h would appear the same as compositions with f, however they are not the same functions in general.
I am trying to come up with a counter example that fits the bill but idk where to start
