Function Image

AI Thread Summary

The image of the function f: R -> R, defined as f(x) = (x-2)^4, is confirmed to be [0, ∞). Participants agree on this conclusion, emphasizing the importance of using LaTeX for clarity in mathematical expressions. The function's output is non-negative for all real numbers x, as it represents a fourth power. Overall, the discussion reinforces the correct understanding of the function's image.

What is the image of the function f: R -> R, f(x) = (x-2)^4

I think [0,∞)

Am I right?

Yes, you are right. ;) Good job! Just try to use LaTeX when typing out your math. It would look like this: $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, f(x) = (x-2)^4$ and the image is $[0, + \infty)$.

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

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...
