Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains a math problem in Greek regarding two functions and with the following tasks:
Given functions:
You are asked to:
- Define the composition function .
- Prove that is invertible and find .
- Determine the type of monotonicity (increasing or decreasing) of the function .
Let’s work through each part:
i. Define the composition function :
The composition means applying first and then applying to the result.
Now, substitute into :
So the composition is:
ii. Prove that is invertible and find :
To prove that is invertible, we need to show that it is one-to-one (injective) and onto (surjective).
-
Injectivity: is an increasing function because its derivative is positive. The derivative of is:
Since the derivative is always positive, is strictly increasing, which implies it is one-to-one.
-
Finding the inverse: To find the inverse of , solve for in terms of :
Therefore, the inverse function is:
iii. Determine the type of monotonicity of :
To find the monotonicity of , we need to compute its derivative:
Since the derivative is negative for all , the function is strictly decreasing.
Summary of Results:
- is strictly decreasing.
Let me know if you would like further details or explanations.
Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
- Find the domain of and separately.
- What is the domain of the composition ?
- Calculate the range of and .
- Verify the inverse by composing and .
- Analyze the monotonicity of and compare it with that of .
Tip: Always check the domain restrictions when working with square roots or inverse functions.
