What are the domains and codomains of composed functions?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around determining the domain and codomain of the composed function δ, defined as δ = f°g, where f and g are given functions with specific input and output ranges.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the definitions of the functions f and g, and the implications for the composition δ. There is an exploration of the correct interpretation of the domain and codomain based on the inputs and outputs of the functions involved.

Discussion Status

Some participants have confirmed their understanding of the functions and are engaging in clarifying the definitions of domain and codomain. There is a recognition of differing interpretations, particularly regarding the relationship between the inputs of g and the outputs of f.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working with specific ranges for the functions, such as [0,1] for r and [0,2π) for θ, and are considering how these affect the overall composition. There is mention of a visual aid that may help clarify the relationships between the functions.

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

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.
