AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the function g(x) defined as g(x)=2f(x-1) using the points provided for f(x). The calculations for g(0), g(1), g(2), and g(3) are based on the values of f at specific points. For g(0), it is determined that g(0)=6 by evaluating f(-1), which equals 3. Participants are encouraged to continue with the calculations for g(1), g(2), and g(3). The interaction highlights collaborative problem-solving in mathematics.

Y=f(x)
which passes through points:
(-1,3) and (0,2) and (1,0) and (2,1) and (3,5)
second function is defined: g(x)=2f(x-1)

Calculate g(0)
Calculate g(1)
Calculate g(2)
Calculate g(3)

Hello, and welcome to MHB! (Wave)

We are given:

$$g(x)=2f(x-1)$$

We are also given 5 points in the form:

$$(x,f(x))$$

And so:

$$g(0)=2f(0-1)=2f(-1)=2\cdot3=6$$

Does that make sense? Can you continue?

Just figured it out. Thank you Mark
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
