Define topological conjugacy and C1C^{1}-conjugacy.

Let a,ba, b be real numbers with a>b>0a>b>0 and let Fa,FbF_{a}, F_{b} be the maps of (0,)(0, \infty) to itself given by Fa(x)=ax,Fb(x)=bxF_{a}(x)=a x, F_{b}(x)=b x. For which pairs a,ba, b are FaF_{a} and FbF_{b} topologically conjugate? Would the answer be the same for C1C^{1}-conjugacy? Justify your statements.
