What is Osborn's rule?
It is used in hyperbolic functions; it's the rule to change a normal trig function into hyperbolic trig function. Example: cos(x-y) = cosx cosy + sinx siny Cosh(x-y) = coshx coshy - sinhx sinhy Whenever you have a multiplication of sin, you write the hyperbolic version as sinh but change the sign. also applied when: tanxsinx (sinx)^2 etc... Hope this helps you
When you say a function is not differentiable?
Well, firstly, the derivative of a function simply refers to slope. Usually we say that the function is not differentiable at a point.Say you have a function such as this:f(x)=|x|Another way to represent that would be as a piece-wise function:g(x) = { -x for x= 0The problem arises at the specific point x=0. If you look at the slope--the change in the function--from the left and right of x, you notice that it is different, negative 1 and positive 1. So, we can say that the function is not differentiable at x=0 because of that sudden change.There are however, a few functions that are nowhere differentiable. One example is the Weirstrass function. The even more ironic thing about this function is that it is continuous everywhere! Since this function is not differentiable anywhere, many might call it a non-differentiable function.There are absolutely other examples.
How do you find inverse function?
If its a fraction then we can change the numerators and denominators upside down .This is in case of fraction.
What is the difference between a reciprocal function and an inverse function?
A reciprocal function will flip the original function (reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3). An inverse function will change the x's and y's of the original function (the inverse of x<4,y>8 is y<4, x>8). Whenever a function is reflected over the line y=x, the result is the inverse of that function. The y=x line starts at the origin (0,0) and has a positive slope of one. All an inverse does is flip the domain and range.
What kind of continuous function can change sign but is never zero?
If the function is continuous in the interval [a,b] where f(a)*f(b) < 0 (f(x) changes sign ) , then there must be a point c in the interval a<c<b such that f(c) = 0 . In other words , continuous function f in the interval [a,b] receives all all values between f(a) and f(b)
