Functions f and g are defined on the whole real line and are mutually inverse: g(f(x))=x, f(g(y))=y for all x, y. It is known that f can be written as a sum of periodic and linear functions: f(x)=kx+h(x) for some number k and a periodic function h(x). Show that g can also be written as a sum of periodic and linear functions. (A functions h(x) is called periodic if there exists a non-zero number d such that h(x+d)=h(x) for any x.)
