The following table is given for some values of u(x)u\left(x\right)u(x) and v(x)v\left(x\right)v(x) where u(x)u\left(x\right)u(x) is an even function and v(x)v\left(x\right)v(x) is an odd function.
Find the value of u(v(−5))u(v(-5)).
Simplify the composite function a(b(c(x)))a\left(b\left(c\left(x\right)\right)\right)a(b(c(x))) given the following:
a(x)=−x3a\left(x\right)=-x^3a(x)=−x3
b(x)=cos(x)b\left(x\right)=\cos\left(x\right)b(x)=cos(x)
c(x)=xc\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x}c(x)=x
For the function f(x)=11−11x+x2f\left(x\right)=11-11x+x^2, calculate the simplified form of the difference quotient f(x+h)−f(x)h\frac{f\left(x+h\right)-f\left(x\right)}{h}hf(x+h)−f(x).
Consider the functions k(x)=x−2k\left(x\right)=x-2, l(x)=x−2l\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x-2}, m(x)=x+2m\left(x\right)=x+2, and n(x)=4x2n\left(x\right)=4x^2. Express y=4xy=4x as a composition involving one or more of the given functions.
If g(x)=∣x∣g(x) = |x| and h(x)=3x−2h\left(x\right)=\frac{3}{x-2}, what is (g∘h)(x)(g∘h)(x)?
Suppose m(x)m\left(x\right) is an even function and n(x)n(x) is an odd function, both defined for all real numbers. What is the nature of the function j(x)=m(x)(n(x))2j\left(x\right)=\frac{m\left(x\right)}{\left(n\left(x\right)\right)^2}?
