Let r be a real number and $$f(x) = \begin{cases}2x -r & ifx \geq r\\ r &ifx < r\end{cases}$$. Then, the equation $$f(x) = f(f(x))$$ holds for all real values of $$x$$ where
When x< r
f(x) = r
f(x) = f(f(x))
r = f(r)
r= 2r-r
r=r
When x>=r
f(x) = 2x-r
f(x) = f(f(x))
2x-r = f(2x-r)
2x-r = 2(2x-r) - r
2x-r = 4x-3r
or, x=r
Therefore x<= r
