A stone is dropped in a lake 2015-02-14
From Wendy:

Hi, I have problems solving this problem. We didn't exactly go over these kind of problems and the book doesn't have an example either. Thank you for your help!

A stone is dropped in a lake, creating a circular ripple that travels outward at a speed of 80 cm/s.
(a) Find a function g that models the radius as a function of time t.

g(t) =

(b) Find a function f that models the area of the circle as a function of the radius r.

f(r) =

(c) Find f compose g.
f compose g =

The continuity of f(x,y)=ln(x^2+y^2) 2013-02-17
From anu:
the question says we have to find the points in the plane where the function is continuous: f(x,y)=ln(x^2+y^2) . here we aren't given a particular point (x,y) where we have to check a function's continuity. what is to be done if we have to check continuity over the whole domain of the function? please help .

A function problem 2012-11-18
From nahla:
f: IN --> IN
n --> f(n)
for every n that belongs the IN : fof(x) = 4n - 3
and for every n that belongs to IN f(2^n) = 2^(n+1) -1

Calculate f(993)

The LCM of 6,15 and x is 90 2011-10-30
From Richie:
Hi there,
There are 2 parts to the question.
#1. Factorise 90. This is easy, 90=2x3x3x5

#2
LCM of 6,15 and x is 90. What are possible values of x if x is odd?

From #1, since 90=6x15, how can this be used to work out possible values of x?

Thanks in advance, Richie

Composition of functions: feet, inches and yards 2008-04-05
From Coya:
write a function f(x) that converts feet to inches.Now write a function g(x) that converts yards to feet. Explain what the composite function f(g(x)) means. Then evaluate f(g(x)) for x = 3,6, and 9.

The composition of functions 2007-06-14
From Gilligan:
Question from Gilligan, a student:

Let f(x) = x^2, g(x) = 3x and h(x) = (sqrt{x}) + 1. Express each function as a composite of f, g and/or h.

(1) p(x) = 3(sqrt{x}) + 3

(2) Q(x) = (sqrt(sqrt{x}) + 1}) + 1

From RJ:
Let f0(x) = 2/2-x and fn+1 = f0 o fn for n greater than or equal to 0. Find a formula for fn and prove it by mathematical induction. Recall that o represents function composition. i.e., (f o g)(x) = f(g(x)).

Limits and composite functions 2004-08-07
From Sue:
I have two questions, one about a limit and the other about a composite function. If you could help me, I'd really appreciate it.

1. Find the limit:

lim[x->0] (x*csc(x))

I converted csc(x) to cos(x)/sin(x), but I didn't know what to do after that.

2. f(g(x)) = ln(x^2 + 4), f(x) = ln(x^2) and g(x) > 0 for all real x, find g(x):

I'm having trouble with this one because x^2 + 4 isn't a perfect square.

Making a square 2003-09-07
From A student:
if I am given any number (say 80 for example), how may I determine the smallest whole number integer which when multipled by it will yield a square number ? In other words if I express this as: 80İ*İnİ=İsquareİnumber, what is the least value of n which will yield a square.

Composition of functions 2002-04-06
From Yvonne:
In our new text book, the following question occurs: State the domain and range of g(f(x))given that f(x) = -x2 - 4 and g(x) = sqrt(x)

The range of f(x), x<=-4, is the domain of g(x). BUT, there is no solution in the Real numbers for g(f(x))= sqrt(-x2 - 4).

In the solutions it says that this is not a function and therefore does not have a domain or range. Is it a relation? Is it anything?
