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 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'Useless continued fraction for 1'

I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
