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.

Find an equation of the tangent to the curve at the given point by both eliminating the parameter and without eliminating the pa
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

y = 2x − 1

Step-by-step explanation:

By eliminating the parameter, first solve for t:

x = 4 + ln(t)

x − 4 = ln(t)

e^(x − 4) = t

Substitute:

y = t² + 6

y = (e^(x − 4))² + 6

y = e^(2x − 8) + 6

Taking derivative using chain rule:

dy/dx = e^(2x − 8) (2)

dy/dx = 2 e^(2x − 8)

Evaluating at x = 4:

dy/dx = 2 e^(8 − 8)

dy/dx = 2

Writing equation of line using point-slope form:

y − 7 = 2 (x − 4)

y = 2x − 1

Now, without eliminating the parameter, take derivative with respect to t:

x = 4 + ln(t)

dx/dt = 1/t

y = t² + 6

dy/dt = 2t

Finding dy/dx:

dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt)

dy/dx = (2t) / (1/t)

dy/dx = 2t²

At the point (4, 7), t = 1.  Evaluating the derivative:

dy/dx = 2(1)²

dy/dx = 2

Writing equation of line using point-slope form:

y − 7 = 2 (x − 4)

y = 2x − 1
