Math Problem Statement
Complete the table below. Assume f and g are one-to-one functions.
Solution
The table provided involves completing function compositions given two one-to-one functions and . Let's carefully analyze how to fill in the remaining blanks in the table.
Definitions:
- means you apply first and then apply to the result.
- means you apply first and then apply to the result.
Information from the table:
- , , , and is missing.
- , , , and is missing.
We are given some values of the compositions and , but several values are still missing. Let’s use the known values to solve for the unknowns.
Step-by-step completion of missing values:
-
:
- We are given , so .
- Since (from the table), .
-
:
- From , we know .
- Since , , which confirms the existing values.
- Therefore, .
-
:
- We are given . Now, .
- So, .
Thus, the final completed table looks like this:
-5 | -3 | 9 | 13 | |
---|---|---|---|---|
-3 | 13 | 13 | 9 | |
-5 | 9 | -3 | 9 | |
-3 | -5 | 13 | 9 | |
9 | 9 | -5 | -3 |
Would you like more details or further clarification on any step?
Here are 5 related questions:
- What does it mean for a function to be "one-to-one"?
- How would the table change if the functions were not one-to-one?
- Can you determine the inverse of the function compositions from this table?
- How would you represent these function compositions graphically?
- What additional information could be inferred if the functions were provided as algebraic expressions?
Tip: When working with function compositions, always apply the innermost function first before moving outward.
