MHB Find the constants given the domain and range

AI Thread Summary
To find constants B and C for the function y = f(x) with a domain of 1 ≤ x ≤ 6 transformed to 8 ≤ x ≤ 9, B must be positive, allowing for algebraic manipulation to create two equations based on the endpoints. For the second part, to adjust the range of Af(x) + D from −3 ≤ y ≤ 5 to 0 ≤ y ≤ 1, constants A and D can be determined by setting up equations that align the new range with the original. The discussion emphasizes the need for algebraic relationships to solve for the constants effectively. Understanding the composition of functions is crucial for these transformations. The thread highlights the importance of correctly applying function transformations in pre-calculus.

Suppose you have a function y = f(x) such that the domain of f(x) is 1 ≤ x ≤ 6 and the range of f(x) is −3 ≤ y ≤ 5.

a) Find constants B and C so that the domain of f(B(x − C)) is 8 ≤ x ≤ 9
B=
C=

b) Find constants A and D so that the range of Af(x) + D is 0 ≤ y ≤ 1
A=
D=

I'm working on composition of functions and completely lost at this point.

Hello and welcome to MHB, bcast!

I have moved your topic from the Analysis forum as this is a Pre-calculus topic.

For the first problem, I would begin with the function's new domain:

$$8\le x\le9$$

Now, assuming $B$ is positive, can you algebraically get $B(x-C)$ in the middle, and then equating the end-points to the originals, you will have two equations in two unknowns?
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

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...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

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...
