Find a number \(c\) such that \(f \circ g=g \circ f,\) where \(f(x)=5 x-2\) and \(g(x)=c x-3\) .
Give an example of an increasing function whose domain is the interval [0,1] but whose range does not equal the interval \([f(0), f(1)]\).
Suppose \(f\) and \(g\) are functions, each with domain of four numbers, with \(f\) and \(g\) defined by the tables below: $$\begin{array}{c|c}x & f(x) \\\\\hline 1 & 4 \\\2 & 5 \\\3 & 2 \\\4 & 3\end{array}$$ $$\begin{array}{c|c}x & g(x) \\\\\hline 2 & 3 \\\3 & 2 \\\4 & 4 \\\5 & 1\end{array}$$ What is the domain of \(g ?\)
Suppose you are exchanging cur. rency in the London airport. The currency exchange service there only makes transactions in which one of the two currencies is British pounds, but you want to exchange dollars for Euros. Thus you first need to exchange dollars for British pounds, then exchange British pounds for Euros. At the time you want to make the exchange, the function \(f\) for exchanging dollars for British pounds is given by the formula \(f(d)=0.66 d-1\) and the function \(g\) for exchanging British pounds for Euros is given by the formula \(g(p)=1.23 p-2\) The subtraction of 1 or 2 in the number of British pounds or Euros that you receive is the fee charged by the currency exchange service for each transaction. How many Euros would you receive for exchanging $$\$ 100$$ after going through this two-step exchange process?
A temperature \(F\) degrees Fahrenheit corresponds to \(g(F)\) degrees on the Kelvin temperature scale, where $$g(F)=\frac{5}{9} F+255.37$$ (a) Find a formula for \(g^{-1}(K)\). (b) What is the meaning of \(g^{-1}(K) ?\) (c) Evaluate \(g^{-1}(0)\). (This is absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature, because all molecular activity stops at 0 degrees Kelvin.)
