Are there any situations in which function composition will be commutative? That is, are there any possible restrictions on the set X so that composition of maps from X to itself will be commutative?

Is it possible for more than one function to satisfy a given set of conditions? Give reasoning why or why not; use an example if you can. The question is referring to creating polynomial functions from a set of (x,y) values

Define an operation * on R by a * b = a + b - ab. Is * commutative? Is * associative? Is there an identity element e ∈ R with respect to *? Does every a ∈ R have an inverse with respect to *?
