MHB How do you find the composition of functions in the given pairs?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the composition of functions for given pairs, specifically asking for detailed working on examples. Participants are encouraged to clarify which compositions they are attempting to find, such as (f∘g)(x). There is a noted absence of definitions for part b), which hinders progress. The community emphasizes the importance of sharing attempted solutions to facilitate guidance and learning. Active engagement in problem-solving is a key goal of the discussion.

Please answer for this question with detailed working.

Let f and g be function from the positive integer defined by the following pairs f: N find the composition.

a) f(n) = n + 60 g (n) = 100n
b) f (n) = g(n) =
c) F(n) = log(n+3) g(n) = log log(n+10)
d) F(n) = n log (n+2) g(n)

What composition are you to find? ($(f\circ g)(x)$ for example?) Also, part b) is missing the function definitions.

Please post what you have tried so we know how best to help you. We do not just provide solutions; our goal is to help people work the problems themselves so that they are actively engaged in the process and learn. :D

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
