** The domain of f is all real numbers and its range is all positive numbers.

The domain of g is all real numbers and its range is all real numbers.

We recall that if x < 0 it follows that | x | = -x, whereas for x > 0 we have | x | = x.

The domain of f + g is all real numbers. f + g = | x | + x. Since for negative x we have | x | = -x, when x < 0 the value of f + g is zero. For x = 0 we have f + g = 0 and for x > 0 we have f + g > 0, and f + g can take any positive value. More specifically for positive x we have f + g = 2x, and for positive x 2x can take on any positive value. The range of f + g is therefore all non-negative real numbers.

The domain of f - g is all real numbers. f - g = | x | - x. Since for positive x we have | x | = x, when x > 0 the value of f - g is zero. For x = 0 we have f + g = 0 and for x < 0 we have f - g > 0, and f + g can take any positive value. More specifically for negative x we have f - g = -2x, and for negative x the expression -2x can take on any positive value. The range of f - g is therefore all non-negative numbers.

The domain of f * g is all real numbers. f * g = | x | * x. For x < 0 then f * g = -x * x = -x^2, which can take on any negative value. For x = 0 we have f * g = 0 and for x > 0 we have f * g = x^2, which can take on any positive value. The range of f * g is therefore all real numbers.

The domain of f / g = | x | / x is all real numbers for which the denominator g is not zero. Since g = 0 when x = 0 and only for x = 0, the domain consists of all real numbers except 0. For x < 0 we have | x | / x = -x / x = -1 and for x > 0 we have | x | / x = x / x = 1. So the range of f / g consists of just the value 1 and -1; we express this as the set {-1, 1}. **

What are f+g, f-g, f*g and f / g and what is the domain and range of each?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)=sqrt(x+1)+2/x

(f - g)(x)=f(x) - g(x)=sqrt(x+1) - 2/x

(f*g)(x)=f(x)*g(x)=sqrt(x+1)(2/x)

(f/g)(x)=f(x)/g(x)=sqrt(x+1)/(2/x)

** The square root is always positive and the argument of the square root must be nonnegative, so sqrt(x + 1) is defined only when x+1 > 0 or x > -1. So the domain of f is all real numbers greater than or equal to -1 and its range is all positive numbers.

The function g(x) = 2/x is defined for all values of x except 0, and 2/x = y means that x = 2 / y, which gives a value of x for any y except 0. So the domain of g is all real numbers except 0 and its range is all real numbers except 0.

Any function obtained by combining f and g is restricted at least to a domain which works for both functions, so the domain of any combination of these functions excludes values of x which are less than -1 and x = 0. The domain will therefore be at most {-1,0) U (0, infinity). Other considerations might further restrict the domains.

The domain of f + g is {-1,0) U (0, infinity). There is no further restriction on the domain.

The domain of f - g is {-1,0) U (0, infinity). There is no further restriction on the domain.

The domain of f * g is {-1,0) U (0, infinity). There is no further restriction on the domain.

The domain of f / g = | x | / x is {-1,0) U (0, infinity) for which the denominator g is not zero. Since the denominator function g(x) = 2/x cannot be zero there is no further restriction on the domain. **

The domain of f(x) consists of all real numbers, since any real number can be squared and 4 added to the result.

The domain of f(g(x)) is therefore restricted only by the requirement for g(x) and the domain is {-2, infinity}. **

** The composite f(g(x)) has 'innermost' function g(x), to which the f function is applied.

The 'innermost' function of sqrt(x^2 + 1) is x^2 + 1. The square root is applied to this result.

So H(x) = f(g(x)) with f(u) = sqrt(u) and g(x) = x^2 + 1.

Thus f(g(x)) = sqrt(g(x)) = sqrt(x^2 + 1). **

3.6.6. x = -20 p + 500, 0<=p<=25

What is the revenue function and what is the revenue if 20 units are sold?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

x=-20p+500; 0<=p<=25

p=500-x/20

R(x)=x(500-x/20)=-5/2x^2+25x

-5/2(20)^2+25(20)=-5/2(400)+500=-1000+500=-500

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:46:46

** revenue = demand * price = x * p = (-20 p + 500) * p = -20 p^2 + 500 p

If price = 24 then we get

R = -20 * 24^2 + 500 * 24 = 480. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

okay...where did I go wrong...lol???

self critique assessment: 2

x is demand, p is price.

If 20 units are sold then x = 20. Using x = -20 p + 500, we substitute for x and find that p = 24: the price is 24.

20 units sold at price p = $24 gives revenue $480.

Your expression for p should be (500 - x) / 20, so that R(x) would be x * p = x ( 500 - x) / 20. If x = 20, then this expression gives you 20 * (500 - 20) / 20 = 480.

I think your error stems from not properly grouping the numerator 500 - x.

d=sqrt(x^2+(x^2-8)^2+2(x^2-8)+1)

** P = (x, y) is of the form (x, x^2 - 8).

So the distance from P to (0, -1) is

sqrt( (0 - x)^2 + (-1 - (x^2-8))^2) =

sqrt(x^2 + (-7-x^2)^2) =

sqrt( x^2 + 49 - 14 x^2 + x^4) =

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49). **

d=sqrt(49)

d=7

d=sqrt[(-1)^4-13(-1)^2+49]

If x = 0 we have

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49) = sqrt(0^4 - 13 * 0 + 49) = sqrt(49) = 7.

If x = -1 we have

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49) = sqrt((-1)^4 - 13 * (-1) + 49) = sqrt( 64) = 8.

Note that these results are the distances from the x = 0 and x = 1 points of the graph of y = x^2 - 8 to the point (0, -1). You should have a sketch of the function and you should vertify that these distances make sense. **

A circle inscribed in a square touches the square at the midpoint of each of the square's edges; the circle is inside the square and its center coincides with the center of the square. A diameter of the circle is equal in length to the side of the square.

If the circle has radius r then the square has sides of length 2 r and its area is (2r)^2 = 4 r^2.

The area of the circle is pi r^2.

So the area of the square which is not covered by the circle is 4 r^2 - pi r^2 = (4 - pi) r^2. **
