Homework Statement


Is the commutator of x and any function of x zero?


Homework Equations


Taylor's theorem allows such a function to be expanded into polynomials, so that [f(x),x] may be expanded into terms of [x^n,x], which are all zero. Hence, f(x) and x commute.

The Attempt at a Solution



Is this a valid demonstration?

You don't need a Taylor expansion. What do you think is x(f(x) - f(x)x?
