Homework Statement



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 f(r,θ)=(r(2+cos5θ)cosθ,r(2+cos5θ)sinθ) and g(t)=(1,t)?

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.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
