Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around converting a function of one variable into a function of two variables, specifically examining the implications of such a conversion on the function's domain and the nature of the resulting function.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses confusion about converting a function of one variable, f(x), into a function of two variables, f(x, y), and questions the validity of their conversion.
  • Another participant suggests defining the new function as g(x, y) = f(x) + y, indicating that this definition holds under certain conditions.
  • A later reply seeks clarification on the nature of the interval for the two-variable function, questioning whether it should be an area like [0,1] x [0,1] or a different form.
  • Another participant responds by stating that the domain can be [0, 1] x any closed interval containing 0, depending on the desired properties of the function g.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the exact nature of the domain for the two-variable function, with differing views on whether it should represent an interval or an area.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved assumptions regarding the properties of the function g and the implications of the chosen domain on its behavior.

Hello everybody,
I am studying a theorem and I want to convert a function of one variable into a function of two variables. At first steps I am really confused and don't know what to do.
Can you help me with this step:

function with one variable:
given; f(x),
f(0)=f(1)=0 on [a,b]=[0,1]

->I converted as: f(x,y),
f(0,0)=f(1,0)=0 on [a,b]x[c,d] = [0,1]x[0,1]

Is that conversion true?

Well, if you define your new function as g(x, y) = f(x) + y, then it holds.

thanks radou for the answer, let me make my question more clear:
single variable function is on the interval [0,1].
if I prove this for two variables, then what the interval will be?
will it be an interval or an area like a rectengular [a,b]x[c,d]?
I thought the endpoints should be [0,1]x[0,1]. is that true?
 
Your domain can be [0, 1] x any closed interval containing 0, if you want the function g to work this way.
