f(x) and g(x) are generic names of functions - sort of variables that represent functions instead of numbers. That means they don't always stand for the same specific function.

How such functions are alike and different depends on what the specific functions are.

Rules of differentiation?

Assume f=f(x), g=g(x)and (f^-1)(x) is the functional inverse of f(x). (f+g)'=f'+g' (f*g)'=f'*g+f*g' product rule (f(g))'=g'*f'(g) compositional rule (f/g)'=(f'*g-f*g')/(g^2) quotient rule (d/dx)(x^r)=r*x^(r-1) power rule and applies for ALL r. where g^2 is g*g not g(g)


When was Pierre De fermat's last theorem created?

PIERRE DE FERMAT's last Theorem. (x,y,z,n) belong ( N+ )^4.. n>2. (a) belong Z F is function of ( a.) F(a)=[a(a+1)/2]^2 F(0)=0 and F(-1)=0. Consider two equations F(z)=F(x)+F(y) F(z-1)=F(x-1)+F(y-1) We have a string inference F(z)=F(x)+F(y) equivalent F(z-1)=F(x-1)+F(y-1) F(z)=F(x)+F(y) infer F(z-1)=F(x-1)+F(y-1) F(z-x-1)=F(x-x-1)+F(y-x-1) infer F(z-x-2)=F(x-x-2)+F(y-x-2) we see F(z-x-1)=F(x-x-1)+F(y-x-1 ) F(z-x-1)=F(-1)+F(y-x-1 ) F(z-x-1)=0+F(y-x-1 ) give z=y and F(z-x-2)=F(x-x-2)+F(y-x-2) F(z-x-2)=F(-2)+F(y-x-2) F(z-x-2)=1+F(y-x-2) give z=/=y. So F(z-x-1)=F(x-x-1)+F(y-x-1) don't infer F(z-x-2)=F(x-x-2)+F(y-x-2) So F(z)=F(x)+F(y) don't infer F(z-1)=F(x-1)+F(y-1) So F(z)=F(x)+F(y) is not equivalent F(z-1)=F(x-1)+F(y-1) So have two cases. [F(x)+F(y)] = F(z) and F(x-1)+F(y-1)]=/=F(z-1) or vice versa So [F(x)+F(y)]-[F(x-1)+F(y-1)]=/=F(z)-F(z-1). Or F(x)-F(x-1)+F(y)-F(y-1)=/=F(z)-F(z-1). We have F(x)-F(x-1) =[x(x+1)/2]^2 - [(x-1)x/2]^2. =(x^4+2x^3+x^2/4) - (x^4-2x^3+x^2/4). =x^3. F(y)-F(y-1) =y^3. F(z)-F(z-1) =z^3. So x^3+y^3=/=z^3. n>2. .Similar. We have a string inference G(z)*F(z)=G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y) equivalent G(z)*F(z-1)=G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1) G(z)*F(z)=G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y) infer G(z)*F(z-1)=G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1) G(z)*F(z-x-1)=G(x)*F(x-x-1)+G(y-x-1)*F(y) infer G(z)*F(z-x-2)=G(x)*F(x-x-2)+G(y)*F(y-x-2) we see G(z)*F(z-x-1)=G(x)*F(x-x-1)+G(y)*F(y-x-1 ) G(z)*F(z-x-1)=G(x)*F(-1)+G(y)*F(y-x-1 ) G(z)*F(z-x-1)=0+G(y)*F(y-x-1 ) give z=y. and G(z)*F(z-x-2)=G(x)*F(x-x-2)+G(y)*F(y-x-2) G(z)*F(z-x-2)=G(x)*F(-2)+G(y)*F(y-x-2) G(z)*F(z-x-2)=G(x)+G(y)*F(y-x-2) x>0 infer G(x)>0. give z=/=y. So G(z)*F(z-x-1)=G(x)*F(x-x-1)+G(y-x-1)*F(y) don't infer G(z)*F(z-x-2)=G(x)*F(x-x-2)+G(y)*F(y-x-2) So G(z)*F(z)=G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y) don't infer G(z)*F(z-1)=G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1) So G(z)*F(z)=G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y) is not equiivalent G(z)*F(z-1)=G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1) So have two cases [G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y)]=G(z)*F(z) and [ G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1)]=/=G(z-1)*F(z-1) or vice versa. So [G(x)*F(x)+G(y)*F(y)] - [ G(x)*F(x-1)+G(y)*F(y-1)]=/=G(z)*[F(z)-F(z-1)]. Or G(x)*[F(x) - F(x-1)] + G(y)*[F(y)-F(y-1)]=/=G(z)*[F(z)-F(z-1).] We have x^n=G(x)*[F(x)-F(x-1) ] y^n=G(y)*[F(y)-F(y-1) ] z^n=G(z)*[F(z)-F(z-1) ] So x^n+y^n=/=z^n Happy&Peace. Trần Tấn Cường.


If f(x)-3x plus 4 and g(x)x2 what is (gf)(0)?

f(x)=2x+8 g(x)=x4 (g*f)(-3)


If f(x) x2 is vertically compressed by a factor of 7 to g(x) what is the equation of g(x)?

if f(x) = x² → g(x) = ⅟₇ x² = x² / 7


What are the example of composition?

Let f(x)=x2 Let g(x)=sin(x) f(g(x))=(sin(x))2 Which is usually written sin2 (x) g(f(x))=sin(x2 )
