Solving Dynamical Systems Q3-Q8: Sketch Graph and Construct C Infiniti Functions

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a set of questions related to dynamical systems, specifically focusing on the properties and construction of functions that are infinitely differentiable (C-infinity functions). The original poster presents a function B(x) and poses several questions about its graph, derivatives, and modifications to create other functions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants inquire about the definition of B(x) and express the need for clarity on its properties before proceeding with the questions. There are discussions about the implications of B(x) being a C-infinity function and the requirements for constructing related functions like C(x) and D(x).

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with some participants seeking more information about B(x) to provide meaningful assistance. The original poster has clarified the definition of B(x) but indicates a lack of progress on the problems. Guidance has been offered regarding the necessity of explaining the function and showing prior work.

Contextual Notes

There is a noted expectation for the original poster to provide their attempts at the problems, as well as the importance of including all relevant information when seeking help. The nature of the questions suggests a structured approach to understanding the properties of the functions involved.

Q3. Sketch the graph of B(x)

Q4. Prove that B'(0)=0

Q5. Inductively prove that B^n(0)=0 for all n.Conclude that B(x) is a c infiniti function.

Q6. modify B(x) to construct a C infiniti function C(x) whcih satisfies
a. C(x) =0 if x is less than or equal to 0
b. C(x) =1 if x is greater that or equal to 1
c. C'(x)>0 if 0<x<1

Q7. Modify C(x) to construct a C infiniti bump function D(x) on the interval [a,b], where D(x) satisfies
a. D(x) =1 for a<x<b
b. D(x) = 0 for x<alpha and x>beta where a<alpha and beta>b
c. D'(x) not equal 0 on the intervals (alpha,a) and (b,beta)

Q8. Use a bump function to construct a diffeomorphism f;[a,b] goes to [c,d] which satisfies f'(a)=f'(b)=1 and f(a) =c,f(b)=d

Any kind of insight or Help is appreciated.

You might at least consider, when posting homework, to include all of the question. What for instance is B(x)? Not that I personally care, you understand, but someone else may do it for you. The answer to Q2 for instance is kind of trivial isn't it, being a simple check of a definition?
 
"Q3. Sketch the graph of B(x)

You do understand, don't you, that no one can help you with these if you don't tell us what "B(x)" is?

This looks clearly like homework so I've moved it to the "Homework: College" section.
And, we will expect you to not only explain what "B(x)" is but to show us what you have done on this problem yourself.
 
Sorry for the delay,
B(x)={exp(-1/x sqaure) if x>0
0 if x< or equal to 0

I have been trying to work on the problem but truthfully I have not achieved anyhting for it
sketch the graph of B(x) and prove that B'(0) = 0
