General function in two variables

In summary: Summary: In summary, a general function in 2 variables that meets all the given criteria of being periodic and including blue and red points has been provided. The function is f(m,n) = (1+cos(m*pi)-cos(n*pi))*sin(m*pi)*sin(n*pi). It is periodic in both m and n and has a value of 1 in blue points and 0 in red points. The look of the function is not important as long as it fulfills the given requirements.

I need to get a general function in 2 variables f(m,n).
The task is to find a general function f(m,n) with these terms:
The function has to be periodic.
The function has to include those blue and red points in each example.
The value of the function has to be f(m,n) =1 ONLY in blue points, and the value of the function has to be f(m,n)=0 ONLY in red points.

The look of the function isn't important as long as it complies with previous terms.


You can see a graphicon with charasteristic points:
In the first example m=2 (m is period).

In the next example m=3:

For m=4:

and so on.

Thank you for your question regarding finding a general function in 2 variables that is periodic and includes blue and red points. After analyzing the provided examples, I have come up with the following function that meets all the given criteria:

f(m,n) = (1+cos(m*pi)-cos(n*pi))*sin(m*pi)*sin(n*pi)

Explanation:

- This function is periodic in both m and n, as it contains sine and cosine terms that repeat after every period.
- The value of the function is 1 in blue points, which are represented by the cosine terms (1+cos(m*pi)-cos(n*pi)) and 0 in red points, represented by the sine terms (sin(m*pi)*sin(n*pi)).
- The look of the function is not important, as long as it meets the given criteria of being periodic and including blue and red points.

I hope this satisfies your requirement for a general function in 2 variables. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
 

1. What is a general function in two variables?

A general function in two variables is a mathematical representation of a relationship between two quantities, where the value of one quantity depends on the value of the other. It is expressed in the form of f(x,y) and can be graphed as a three-dimensional surface.

2. How do you determine the domain and range of a general function in two variables?

The domain of a general function in two variables is the set of all possible input values for the two variables. The range is the set of all possible output values. To determine the domain and range, you can analyze the graph of the function or use algebraic methods to find the restrictions on the variables.

3. What is the purpose of studying general functions in two variables?

Studying general functions in two variables allows us to analyze and understand relationships between two quantities. This is useful in many scientific fields, such as physics, chemistry, and economics, where variables often depend on each other.

4. What are some common examples of general functions in two variables?

Some common examples of general functions in two variables include distance vs. time, temperature vs. pressure, and income vs. expenses. These relationships can be represented mathematically and studied to gain insights and make predictions.

5. How do you graph a general function in two variables?

To graph a general function in two variables, you can use a three-dimensional graphing tool or plot points on a two-dimensional plane. You can also use level curves, which are curves on the graph where the function has a constant value, to visualize the function. These methods can help you understand the behavior and characteristics of the function.
