In mathematics, a function is a binary relation between two sets that associates to each element of the first set exactly one element of the second set. Typical examples are functions from integers to integers, or from the real numbers to real numbers.
Functions were originally the idealization of how a varying quantity depends on another quantity. For example, the position of a planet is a function of time. Historically, the concept was elaborated with the infinitesimal calculus at the end of the 17th century, and, until the 19th century, the functions that were considered were differentiable (that is, they had a high degree of regularity). The concept of a function was formalized at the end of the 19th century in terms of set theory, and this greatly enlarged the domains of application of the concept.
A function is a process or a relation that associates each element x of a set X, the domain of the function, to a single element y of another set Y (possibly the same set), the codomain of the function. It is customarily denoted by letters such as f, g and h.If the function is called f, this relation is denoted by y = f (x) (which reads "f of x"), where the element x is the argument or input of the function, and y is the value of the function, the output, or the image of x by f. The symbol that is used for representing the input is the variable of the function (e.g., f is a function of the variable x).A function is uniquely represented by the set of all pairs (x, f (x)), called the graph of the function. When the domain and the codomain are sets of real numbers, each such pair may be thought of as the Cartesian coordinates of a point in the plane. The set of these points is called the graph of the function; it is a popular means of illustrating the function.
Functions are widely used in science, and in most fields of mathematics. It has been said that functions are "the central objects of investigation" in most fields of mathematics.

The function $f$ is defined on the set of integers and satisfies
\[ f(n)=\begin{cases}
n-3, & \text{if} \,\,n\geq 1000 \\
f(f(n+5)), & \text{if}\,\, n< 1000
\end{cases}
\]
Find $f(84)$.
If the function is not differentiable at point. Can we consider this point is critical point to the function?
f(x) = (x-3)^2 when x>0
= (x+3)^2 when x<0
he asked for critical points in the closed interval -2, 2

Suppose I'm solving
$$y''(t) = x''(t)$$ where $$x(t)$$ is the ramp function. Then, by taking the Laplace transform of both sides, I need to know $x'(0)$ which is discontinuous. What is the appropriate technique to use here?
Hello! I have been recently studying Quantum mechanics alone and I've just got this question.

4. Check to see if there is a point in the interval such that ...
Hello everyone, can anybody help me with this problem?
The solution is for all odd prime numbers, but I have no idea how to solve it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have the following probability density function (in Maple notation):
f (x) = (1 / ((3/2) * Pi)) * (sin (x)) ** 2 with support [0; 3 * Pi]
Now I want to transform x so that
0 -> (3/2) * Pi
and
3 * Pi -> (15/2) * Pi
and the new function is still a probability density function.
How should I...
Transformed circuit:
Using KVL,
Now, I am unsure about the current to use KVL in this case.
As far as equation goes:
Vi(s) =(I1*R)+(I3*R)+Vc(s), where Vc(s) = V0(s)/u as shown in the circuit.
How am I supposed to find the current I1 and I3 for the two resistors in this case?
Thanks
I tried graphing the function in the calculator, and the graph seems to have a horizontal asymptote at y=0, not at y=1. Why is this so?
