As Chewwy says, x goes in, f(x) comes out. You can use g(x), h(x), Ø(x), Ω(x), Bob(x), Ostrich(x), anything you like. The letter, symbol or even word before the (x) is simply a way of allowing you to know which function it is you are talking about. You can define f(x) to be anything you like, the "f" label is irrelevant of what the ...
what does f' (x) actually mean? - The Student Room
2024年6月17日 · f(x) is a function of x, but f'(x) is the derivative with respect to what seems to make sense. In terms of a-level f'(x) pretty much means dy/dx, but you should realise that d(f(x))/dx = f'(x) doesn't require a y. As for the post, it depends what you are differentiating with respect to but I assume it is p (i.e. do you want dq / dp?).
Prove f(x) is an increasing function - The Student Room
2015年7月9日 · For it to be an increasing function, f'(x) must always be greater than or equal to 0, for any value of x. If you have f'(x) = x^2 – 2 + x^(-2), you need to show this is always greater than or equal to 0, to show it is always increasing. A good way to do this is to spot that it is a perfect square i.e. f'(x) = (x − 1/x)^2. Remember ...
Show there is only one real root - The Student Room
2024年6月3日 · If the curve has no stationary points then f has only one real root. You could find stationary the points (if any exist at all) and show using the geometry of the curve that the configuration of the stationary points mean that the curve can only intersect the x axis once.

Transformation of graphs , y= f(2x) - The Student Room
2018年3月2日 · Then introduce a transformation y = f (2 x) y=f(2x) y = f (2 x). We want to retain the exact same y y y value as the previous one, so we need to set 2 x = X 2x=X 2 x = X which hence means that x = X 2 x=\frac{X}{2} x = 2 X . Hence the new input into your transformed function is HALF the original one, and this applies to all x x x hence we say f ...
