The Attempt at a Solution


I'm not really sure what they are asking for.

In a nutshell, find two functions, f and g, so that g \circ f is one-to-one, but f \circ g is not.
 
So it's basically just guess and check?
 
It doesn't have to be. Think about arranging it so that g is injective on the image of f but not on the entire domain of g.
