Composite functions and notation
Let ƒ(x)= x² - 4 , g(x) = x³ and F(x) = 1/(x-3). Simplify or evaluate the following expressions.
g(1/z)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the function g(x) which is given as g(x) = x^3.
Substitute 1/z into the function g(x) in place of x, resulting in g(1/z).
Calculate g(1/z) by raising (1/z) to the power of 3, which is (1/z)^3.
Simplify the expression (1/z)^3 to 1/z^3.
The simplified form of g(1/z) is 1/z^3.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Composite Functions

Composite functions are formed when one function is applied to the result of another function. In this case, if we have functions f(x) and g(x), the composite function g(f(x)) means we first compute f(x) and then apply g to that result. Understanding how to manipulate and evaluate composite functions is essential for simplifying expressions like g(1/z).

Function Notation

Function notation is a way to denote functions and their inputs clearly. For example, g(x) indicates the function g evaluated at x. In the expression g(1/z), we are substituting 1/z into the function g, which requires understanding how to interpret and apply the notation correctly to find the output.

Simplification of Expressions

Simplification involves reducing an expression to its simplest form, making it easier to work with or evaluate. This can include combining like terms, factoring, or substituting values. In the context of g(1/z), simplifying the expression means substituting 1/z into the function g and then performing any necessary algebraic operations to express the result in a more manageable form.

Draining a tank (Torricelli’s law) A cylindrical tank with a cross-sectional area of 1010 m2 is filled to a depth of 2525 m with water. At t=0t=0 s, a drain in the bottom of the tank with an area of 11 m²  is opened, allowing water to flow out of the tank. The depth of water in the tank (in meters) at time t≥0t\(\geq{0}\) is d(t)=(5−0.22t)2d\(\left\)(t\(\right\))=\(\left\)(5-0.22t\(\right\))^2.

b. At what time is the tank empty?
