What is Functions: Definition and 1000 Discussions
In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths. They are widely used in all sciences that are related to geometry, such as navigation, solid mechanics, celestial mechanics, geodesy, and many others. They are among the simplest periodic functions, and as such are also widely used for studying periodic phenomena through Fourier analysis.
The trigonometric functions most widely used in modern mathematics are the sine, the cosine, and the tangent. Their reciprocals are respectively the cosecant, the secant, and the cotangent, which are less used. Each of these six trigonometric functions has a corresponding inverse function (called inverse trigonometric function), and an equivalent in the hyperbolic functions as well.The oldest definitions of trigonometric functions, related to right-angle triangles, define them only for acute angles. To extend these definitions to functions whose domain is the whole projectively extended real line, geometrical definitions using the standard unit circle (i.e., a circle with radius 1 unit) are often used. Modern definitions express trigonometric functions as infinite series or as solutions of differential equations. This allows extending the domain of sine and cosine functions to the whole complex plane, and the domain of the other trigonometric functions to the complex plane from which some isolated points are removed.
Is tan^2 (x) the same as tan(x)^2?
Note: I could have used any trig function.
I know that tan^2 (x) means (tan x)^2.
What does tan (x)^2 mean? Is it proper notation?
The hyperbolic function ##\cosh t \text{ and } \sinh t## respectively represent the x and y coordinate of the parametric equation of the parabola ##x^2-y^2=1##. The exponential expressions of these hyperbolic functions are

Hi, there. I couldn't find much information about this on the net so I came here to ask if anyone here knows as I thought it would be the right forum or maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough. Please not that I don't mean skills but rather what actually works that improves brain functions like...
How many of the first 1000 positive integers can be expressed in the form $\lfloor 2x \rfloor+\lfloor 4x \rfloor+\lfloor 6x \rfloor+\lfloor 8x \rfloor$, where $x$ is a real number?
Hi All,
A couple of questions, please:
1) Say df is a dataframe in Python Pandas, and I select a specific column from df:
Y=df[column].values.
What kind of data structure is Y?
2)

Are there any useful references or resources that intuitively show how Jacobi Elliptic functions [sn, cn, dn, etc] are geometrically interpreted from properties of ellipses? And how the Jacobi Elliptic functions and integrals can be shown to be generalizations of circular trig functions? Thanks!
f-1(f(A)) = A and f-1(f(B)) = B so options (a) and (c) are wrong.
For (b), I get A ⊆ A
For (d), I get B ⊆ B
For (e), I get A ⊆ A
So there are three correct statements? Thanks
kindly note that this solution is NOT my original working. The problem was solved by my colleague. I have doubts with the ##k## value found. Is it not supposed to be ##k=0.5?## as opposed to ##k=2?##. From my reading on scaling, the graph shrinks when ##k## is greater than ##1## and conversely.

Mentor note: Moved from technical section, so is missing the homework template.
Im doing some older exams that my professor has provided, but I haven't got the solutions for these. Can someone help confirm that the solutions I've arrived at are correct?

2. What are the meanings of the mean and the median of a PDF? Are the formulae below correct?

This is my approach:
These quantities namely mass, length, and time, are all additive in nature. ##2 m + 3m = 5 m ##. If the argument of the functions mentioned in the problem statement is not dimensionless, then mass, length or time do not remain additive in the image space of the functions...
I was solving a problem for my quantum mechanics homework, and was therefore browsing in the internet for further information. Then I stumbled upon this here:

So far I've got the real part and imaginary part of this complex number. Assume: ##z=\sin (x+iy)##, then
1. Real part: ##\sin x \cosh y##
2. Imaginary part: ##\cos x \sinh y##
If I use the absolute value formula, I got ##|z|=\sqrt{\sin^2 {x}.\cosh^2 {y}+\cos^2 {x}.\sinh^2 {y} }##

Let's say we have a curve in 2D space that we can represent in both cartesian and polar coordinates, i.e. ##y = y(x)## and ##r = r(\theta)##. If you want the tangent at any point ##(x,y) = (a,b)## on the curve you can just do the first order Taylor expansion at that point $$y(x) = y'(a)x +...
I know how to find integral solutions of linear equations like x+y=C or x+y+z=C where C is a constant.
But I don't have any idea how to solve these type of questions.I am only able to predict that both x and y will be greater than 243554.Please help.
Here is a pic of question
My attempt-:
I defined functions f(x-1) and f(x+1) using f(x).After defining them,I substituted their values in the equation f(x-1)+f(x+1)=sinA.
For different ranges of x,I got different equations.
For 1<x<2,I got 1-x=sinA.
But now I am confused.For each different...
This is probably a silly question, though it's confused me a little so I thought I'd ask. It is my understanding that a function is loosely defined as a mapping between two sets, whilst a variable can represent an element of either of those sets. I'll take the example of velocity, since it's...
I'm looking for a document (possibly online) which describes the higher cognitive functions (such as thinking, planning, creativity, comprehension, reasoning, etc.) from the neuroscientific point of view. I found only texts of brain anatomy or other describing senso-motoric and metabolic aspects...
Suppose we have a piecewise function
f(t) = exp(c*t) when 0 <= t < 2 and f(t) = 0 when t >= 2.
Can the above be rewritten as
f(t)= exp(at)*[H(t-0) - H(t-2)],
H is a heaviside function.
Hey! :o
For the functions $f:A\rightarrow B$, $g:B\rightarrow A$ and $h:B\rightarrow A$ it holds that $(g\circ f)(x)=x, \ \forall x\in A$ and $(f\circ h)(x)=x, \ \forall x\in B$. Show that it holds that $g\equiv h$.
I don't really have an idea how to show that.
Let $x\in A$. Then $(g\circ...

I solve problem where I use functions which are expanded upto some order. I multiply them, make square root and make derivatives or solve differential equations. What is the right way to deal with such problem?

Hi,
So I have a quick conceptual question about Parseval's theorem in this application. In previous parts of this question, we have found the average powers of both f(t) and g(t) by integration and using the complex Fourier series respectively (not sure if this is relevant to my question)...
I was wondering if there is a way to deduce the solution of the potential of a charge outside a sphere given by the image method, though Green functions. Because of a Dirichlet condition (GD(R,r')=0), I know that a solution can be written as GD=Go+L, where ∇2L=0. But in order to approach this...

So just based on the cauchy riemann theorem, I think:
Ux = 2 = Vy = 2xy, so f(z) is differentiable on xy = 1, and also that Vx = y^2 = -Uy = 0. That doesn't make sense to me because if 0 = y^2, then y = 0, yet that wouldn't satisfy xy = 1, would it?
Furthermore, I'm not sure how I would...
Summary:: I attach a picture of the given problem below, just before my attempt to solve it.
We are required to show that ##\alpha_1 \varphi_1(t) + \alpha_2 \varphi_2(t) = 0## for some ##\alpha_1, \alpha_2 \in \mathbb{R}## is only possible when both ##\alpha_1, \alpha_2 = 0##.

We can make the first three functions add up to zero in the following way : ##\sin^2 t+\cos^2 t-\frac{1}{3}\times 3 = \varphi_1(t) + \varphi_2(t) - \frac{1}{3} \varphi_3(t) = 0##.
However, look at ##\varphi_4(t) = t## and ##\varphi_5(t) = e^t##. How does one combine the two to add up to zero? I...
Why do we define functions as only
as only those graphs which have
only one y value for each x value.
for eg. we don't say that a circle
is a graph of a function,because
its graph would have two y values
for same x values.
what i mean to ask is why not call
anything that takes a input and gives...
Hi all,
Let me give some background to my question. In computational neuroscience it's now fashionable to train recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to solve some task (working memory for example). We do so by defining some cost function and training the model weights to minimize it (using...
