Solving Dynamical Systems Q3-Q8: Sketch Graph and Construct C Infiniti Functions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a series of mathematical problems related to the function B(x), defined as exp(-1/x^2) for x > 0 and 0 for x ≤ 0. Participants emphasize the importance of sketching the graph of B(x) and proving that its derivative at zero, B'(0), equals zero. Additionally, they discuss the inductive proof that B^n(0) equals zero for all n, establishing that B(x) is a C∞ function. The conversation also covers modifications to B(x) to create C∞ functions C(x) and D(x) with specific properties, as well as using a bump function to construct a diffeomorphism. Clarity on the definition of B(x) is deemed essential for effective assistance.

Q3. Sketch the graph of B(x)

Q4. Prove that B'(0)=0

Q5. Inductively prove that B^n(0)=0 for all n.Conclude that B(x) is a c infiniti function.

Q6. modify B(x) to construct a C infiniti function C(x) whcih satisfies
a. C(x) =0 if x is less than or equal to 0
b. C(x) =1 if x is greater that or equal to 1
c. C'(x)>0 if 0<x<1

Q7. Modify C(x) to construct a C infiniti bump function D(x) on the interval [a,b], where D(x) satisfies
a. D(x) =1 for a<x<b
b. D(x) = 0 for x<alpha and x>beta where a<alpha and beta>b
c. D'(x) not equal 0 on the intervals (alpha,a) and (b,beta)

Q8. Use a bump function to construct a diffeomorphism f;[a,b] goes to [c,d] which satisfies f'(a)=f'(b)=1 and f(a) =c,f(b)=d

Any kind of insight or Help is appreciated.

You might at least consider, when posting homework, to include all of the question. What for instance is B(x)? Not that I personally care, you understand, but someone else may do it for you. The answer to Q2 for instance is kind of trivial isn't it, being a simple check of a definition?

You do understand, don't you, that no one can help you with these if you don't tell us what "B(x)" is?

This looks clearly like homework so I've moved it to the "Homework: College" section.
And, we will expect you to not only explain what "B(x)" is but to show us what you have done on this problem yourself.
 
Sorry for the delay,
B(x)={exp(-1/x sqaure) if x>0
0 if x< or equal to 0

I have been trying to work on the problem but truthfully I have not achieved anyhting for it
sketch the graph of B(x) and prove that B'(0) = 0
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
