Answer: 57.5
Step-by-step explanation: The first thing you need to know about the order of operations is that multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction.
So in this problem, we are going to divide before we add.
Since 30 divided by 4 is 7.5, our next step will read 50 + 7.5 and 50 + 7.5 simplifies to 14.
We have to find the values of F.
In this case. F is unlikely to be a polynomial.
But the problem is, we can’t calculate the values of F directly.
There is no real value of x for which x = x−1 x because F isn’t defined at 0 or 1. so,
substituting x = 2.
F(2) + F(1/2) = 3.
Substitute, x = 1/2
F(1/2) + F(−1) = −1/2.
We still are not getting the required value,
therefore,
Substitute x = −1
As, F(2) +F(−1) = 0.
now we have three equations in three unknowns, which we can solve.
It turns out that:
F(2) = 3/4
F(3) = 17/12
F(4) = 47/24
and
F(5) = 99/40
Setting
g(x) = 1 − 1/x
and using
2 → 1/2
to denote
g(2) = 1/2
we see that :
x → 1 - 1/x → 1/(1-x) →x
so that:
g(g(g(x))) = x.
Therefore, whatever x 6= 0, 1 we start with, we will always get three equations in the three “unknowns” F(x), F(g(x)) and F(g(g(x))).
Now solve these equations to get a formula for F(x)
As,
h(x) = (1+x)/(1−x)
which satisfies h(h(h(h(x)))) = x
Now, mapping x to h(x) corresponds to rotating the circle by ninety degrees.
