What are the domains and codomains of composed functions?

In summary, the function f is defined as (r(2+cos5θ)cosθ,r(2+cos5θ)sinθ) and the function g is defined as (1,t). The domain of δ=f°g is [0,2∏) and the codomain is ℝ2.

Define Function f: [0,1]x[0,2∏)→ℝ2 by

f(r,θ)=

(r(2+cos5θ)cosθ)
(r(2+cos5θ)sinθ)

Let g: [0,2∏)→[0,1]x[0,2∏) be defined by

g(t)=

(1)
(t)

Compute the function δ=f°g, what are the domain and codomain of δ?

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



Replacing r with 1 and θ with t gives

(2+cos5t)cost
(2+cos5t)sint

but this doesn't seem right

First, did you mean [itex]f(r,θ)=(r(2+cos5θ)cosθ,r(2+cos5θ)sinθ)[/itex] and [itex]g(t)=(1,t)[/itex]?

what are the domain and codomain of δ?

Look at picture (attachment), and mark the function and you will see

P.S. It seems well.

yes, that's what I mean.

thanks for the help

I don't really understand the picture, but would the domain be the possible input of g, and the codomain the possible outputs of f?

ie domain of [0,2∏) and codomain of ℝ2 ?

ahh I get your picture now, I think I am right with the domain and codomain?

Yes you are.
 

1. What is a composition of functions?

A composition of functions is the combination of two or more functions to form a new function. The output of one function becomes the input of another function.

2. How do you find the composition of two functions?

To find the composition of two functions f and g, you can substitute the output of function g into function f. In other words, you would plug in g(x) for x in function f.

3. What is the domain of a composition of functions?

The domain of a composition of functions is the set of all inputs that will produce a valid output. It is the intersection of the domains of the individual functions involved in the composition.

4. Can a composition of functions be reversed?

Yes, a composition of functions can be reversed by finding the inverse of each individual function and then composing them in reverse order. However, not all compositions of functions have an inverse.

5. How are composition of functions used in real life?

Composition of functions is commonly used in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics to model real-life situations. For example, in physics, the position-time function can be composed with the velocity-time function to determine the position of an object at a given time. In economics, the demand and supply functions can be composed to determine the equilibrium price and quantity.
