Solving Trigonometric Functions

In mathematics, the trigonometric functions are functions of an angle. They are used to relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Trigonometric functions are important in the study of triangles.

The most familiar trigonometric functions are the sine, cosine, and tangent. Trigonometric functions can also be called as circular functions.

A few example problems are given below to learn solving trigonometric functions.

Solution:

To prove the above equation,  take the left hand side (LHS) of the equation and simplify it step by step to get right hand side of the equation (RHS).

Step 1: Given

Geometric Progression

In mathematics, a geometric progression, are called as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed non-zero number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54 ... is a geometric progression with common ratio 3. Similarly 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, ... is a geometric sequence with common ratio 1/2. The sum of the conditions of a geometric progression

Source: Wikipedia

Concepts of geometric progression:

A geometric progression is a sequence of number each of which, after the first, is obtained by multiplying the preceding number by a constant r. This constant r is called the common ration of the geometric progression.

In other words, a series is said in geometric progression if the ratio of any term to the preceding term is constant throughout. It is briefly written as geometric progression.

The constant ratio is called the common ratio. It is denoted by “r”.

Thus, the general form of a geometric sequence is

a,ar,ar2,ar3,ar4,…

And that of a geometric series is

a+ar+ar2+ar3+ar4+…

Where r ≠ 0 is the common ratio and a is a scale factor, equal to the sequence's start value.

Formula for geometric progression:

For the geometric progression represented by

a,ar,ar2,ar3,…,arn-1

With common ratio r, the sum of the first n terms, denoted by Sn is

Sn=a+ar+ar2+ar3+…+arn-1

Multiplying both sides by r, we get

rSn=ar+ar2+ar3+…+arn-1+arn

Subtracting, we have

Sn-rSn=a-arn

Sn(1-r)=a(1-rn)

So that Sn= a(1-rn)/(1-r)       if r≠1.

When r=1, the progression is merely a,a,…a so that Sa in this case is simply na. Note that Sn can also be written as

Sn= (r_(n-1))/(r-1)                    r≠1

Example 1:

Find the 12th term of the series:

3,6,12,24,48…

Solution:

The given series is a geometric progression with a=3,r=6/2 =2

T12=ar11=3 x 211=6144

Practice problem for geometric progression:

The sum of the first 8 terms of the geometric progression with the first term a=25 and the common ration r=- 1/5 is

Answer: S8=25 (1-(1/(5_8) )) / (6/5 )

Multiply Rational Expressions

How to Multiply Rational Expressions

Multiplication of rational expressions is similar to the multiplication of fractions of rational numbers. Let us consider an example of multiplying fractions, 3/4 x 7/2. Here the method to be followed is, first multiply the terms in the numerator and then multiply the terms in the denominator which gives 3x7/4x2 = 21/8.

Then any further simplification possible is carried out. In this example there was no possibility of cancelations as there were no common factors and hence the fraction got by multiplying the numbers in the numerator and the numbers in the denominators would be the final answer. Similar set of steps are used while multiplying rational expressions.

Understanding Sample Size Definition is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

A rational expression  consist of coefficients which are constants for a given term and hence first the coefficient parts are simplified then the product of the variable parts in the numerator is found, then the product of the variable part in the denominator is found and finally the products are written in the simplified form. In this process we use exponential laws and common factors for simplification.

Let us consider an example for a better understanding. Multiply Rational Expressions 4x2y2/3x and 3x/4y.  The product of the given expressions would be,  4x2y2/3x . 3x/4y Here first the coefficients are simplified and any cancelations possible are carried out. 4 and 3 get canceled and we get x2y2/x . x/y, this can be written as x.x.y.y/x. x/y; x and y are the common factors which can be canceled and we get x2y which is the final answer. Here we can use the exponential rule in simplification.

To multiply rational expressions involving polynomials the steps to be followed are:
First factor the terms in the numerator and the denominator
Reduce all the common factors
Further simplify the terms by either multiplying the numerators and denominators or leave the product in the fraction form

Example: Multiply (x2-9)/(x2+6x+9) and (3x+9)/(3x-9)
Solution: First factor the terms in the numerator and denominator
(x2- 9)= (x+3)(x-3) [special products]
(x2+6x+9)= (x+3)(x+3) [(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2]
(3x+9)=3(x+3)                               [taking out common factor]
(3x-9) = 3(x-3)                               [taking out common factor]

The product of the expressions would be in the form, (x2-9)/(x2+6x+9) . (3x+9)/(3x-9)
Re-writing the given expressions as factors gives,
(x+3)(x-3)/(x+3)(x+3)  .  3(x+3)/(x-3)
Reducing the common factors gives,
(x+3)(x-3)/(x+3)(x+3)  .  3(x+3)/3(x-3)
Canceling the common terms gives 3/3 = 1, the final answer!

Exam for Total Differentiation

The total differentiation of a function, f of several variables. For example, t, x, y etc., with respect to t is different from the partial derivative. The total differentiation of f with respect to t does not assume and other variables are constant while t varies. The  total differentiation adds in these indirect dependencies to find the overall dependency of f on t. For example, the total differentiation of f(t,x,y) with respect to t is

(df)/(dt) = (df)/(dt) +  ((df)/(dx)) ((dx)/(dt)) + ((df)/(dy))  ((dy)/(dt)) .

Exam for total differentiation problems:

Let us see some example problems for total differentiation and its helps to exam preparation.

Exam for total differentiation problem 1:

Find the total differentiation of trigonometric term (cot x2) with respect to x.

Solution:

Given trigonometric term is  (cot x2)

Let      y = (cot x2)

Putting x2 = u and  cot x2 = cot u = y

y = cot u,        and       u = x2

dy/(du) = - cosec2 u, and  (du)/(dx) = 2x

The total differentiation is  dy/dx

dy / dx = [  dy/(du) ×  (du)/(dx)]

= [( - cosec2 u) × 2x]

=  2x ( - cosec2 u)                                                         (u = x2)

= - 2x cosec2 (x2).

dy/dx = - 2x cosec2 (x2).

Answer:    dy/dx =  - 2x cosec2 (x2)

Exam for total differentiation problem 2:

Find the total differentiation of  function  P = xe^(y + z) ,  x = uv,  y = u - v , z = u + v

Find     (dP)/(dv)      when u = 1  and v = -1

Solution:

Given function is    P =  xe^(y+ z),

x = uv,        y = u - v        and     z = u + v

((dx)/(dv))= u = 1          ((dy)/(dv))  = -1     and    ((dz)/(du)) = 1

We know the chain rule of partial differentiation. it is the Total differentiation

 (dP)/(du) =  ((dP)/(dx)) ((dx)/(du)) +  ((dP)/(dy))   ((dy)/(du))  + ((dP)/(dz))   ((dz)/(du)) .

Substitute the u and v value we get   x = -1,    y = 2   and z = 0

P = xe^(y + z),

Differentiate P with respect to x .       (dP)/(dx)   = e^(y + z).

Differentiate P with respect to y .        (dP)/(dy) =  xe^(y + z)

Differentiate P with respect to z.       (dP)/(dz)   = xe^(y + z) .

Total differentiation is       (dP)/(dv) =  ((dP)/(dx)) ((dx)/(dv)) +  ((dP)/(dy))   ((dy)/(dv))  + ((dP)/(dz))   ((dz)/(dv)).

= e^(y + z).(1) +  xe^(y + z) .(-1) +  xe^(y + z).1

= e^(2 + 0).(1) +  (-1)e^(2 + 0) .(-1) +  (-1)e^(2 + 0).1

= e2 + e2 - e2

= e2

Answer:   e2

Addition of Decimals Methods

In this article we are going to learn about adding decimals concept.Decimal is base 10 number system. A number consists of decimal part and whole number part is known as decimal number. The point which splits the whole number part and decimal part is known as decimal point. The digit after a decimal point is decimal part and the left to the point is whole number part.

Transformations of Functions

In this page we are going to discuss about transformations of functions concept . Function is defined as one quantity (input of transformations functions) associated with another quantity (output of transformations functions). The quantity can be a Real numbers or Elements from any given sets or the domain and the co domain of the function.

For Example: The function is defined as f : C -> D is a relation that assigns to each x belongs to C to y belongs to D. C is Domain of f and D is Range of f.


Types of transformations of functions

There are four classes of transformations,

1. Horizontal translation: The function is transformed along X axis.

g (x) = f (x + c)

It means that the graph is translated c values to the left side for c > 0 or to the right side for c < 0.

2. Vertical translation: The transformation of function is along Y axis.

g (x) = f (x) + k

It means that the graph is translated k values upwards for k >0 or downwards for k < 0.

3. Change of amplitude:

g (x) = b f (x)

It means that the amplitude of the graph is increased by a factor of b if b > 1 and decreased by a factor of b if b < 1, if b < 0, then we get inverted graph.

4. Change of scale:

g (x) = f (cx)

It means that the graph is compressed if c > 1 and stretched out if c < 1. If c < 0 then we get the reflected graph about y axis.

Examples

Below are the examples on transformations of functions -

Examples:

Examples for functions include parabolas, trigonometric curves and polynomial functions.

* f (x) = 2x2 , for all x values are real

* f(x) = y + sin x, x ,y are real.

* f (x) = 1 / (x+1), for all real numbers except -1

*f (x) = x3-4x2+9x , Polynomial function


Even or Odd Functions

A function f:C-->D is said to be even if and only if f (-x) = f (x) for all x belongs to C.

A function is said to be odd if and only if f (-x) = -f(x) for all x belongs to C.

Even function is symmetric about the y-axis; an odd function is symmetric about the origin in the graph.

Example :  * f (x) = 2x2 is an even function.

* f (x) = x + sin x is odd.
