How to combine the $4$-dimensions of spacetime into 1 dimension?
I have been thinking about the possibility of representing all points in a $4$-dimensional spacetime coordinate system $\mathbb{R}^{1,4}$, as points on one line $P$ (or axis of a $1$-dimensional ...

Whether the given function is one-one or onto or bijective?
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be such that
$$f(x)=x^3+x^2+x+\{x\}$$ where $\{x\}$ denotes the fractional part of $x$. Whether $f$ is one-one or onto or both?
For one-one, we need to show that if $f(...

$g(f(x + y)) = f(x) + (x+y)g(y).$ Value of $๐(0) + ๐(1)+\dots+ ๐(2024)$?
Let $f$ and $g$ be functions such that for all real numbers $x$ and $y$:
$$g(f(x + y)) = f(x) + (x+y)g(y).$$
The value of $๐(0) + ๐(1)+\ldots ๐(2024)$ is?
I found the question on Mathematics Stack ...

What qualifies as a polynomial?
I have a very simple question regarding the definition of polynomials (with real coefficients).
What I've seen so far in terms of defintions:
A polynomial $p(x)$ is a function that can be written in ...

Is $x^3$ really an increasing function for all intervals?
I had an argument with my maths teacher today...
He says, along with another classmate of mine that $x^3$ is increasing for all intervals. I argue that it isn't.
If we look at conditions for ...

Show that a function is $f$ bijective if $f(f(f(2x+3)))=x$ for all real $x$
Let $ f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} $ is a function such that
$$ \forall x\in\mathbb{R} : f(f(f(2x+3)))=x $$
Show that $f$ is bijective.
We have to show that $f$ is injective and surjective.
How do we ...

How can I study the changes of $f_k(x)=\frac{e^{kx}-1}{2e^x}$
Let $f_k(x)$ be a function defined on $\mathbb{R}$ by
$$f_k(x)=\frac{e^{kx}-1}{2e^x}$$
Where $k$ is a real , How can I study according to the values of $k$ the changes of the changes of $f_k$
I ...

Is this an injection from $\mathbb{R}_+$ to $(0,1)$? [closed]
I am wondering if $f: \mathbb{R}_+ \rightarrow (0,1)$ is an injection if $f$ just moves the decimal point to the left of each number an equal amount of times as how far the decimal point is from the ...

Finding the number of continuous functions
Question:
Find the number of continuous function(s) $f:[0, 1]\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfying $$\int_0^1f(x)\text{d}x=\frac{1}{3}+\int_0^1f^2(x^2)\text{d}x$$
My approach:
I put $x^2=t$, giving $2x\text{d}x=...

Is it possible for a function to be continuously derivable over its entire open domain except for a removable discontinuity?
For example, is there a function $f \in \mathcal{C}(\mathbb{R}) \cap \mathcal{C}^1(\mathbb{R} \setminus \{ 0 \})$ such that
$$ \exists \lim_{x \to 0} f'(x) = \lim_{x \to 0} \lim_{y \to x} \frac{f(y)-f(...

Rudin PMA 4.31 - does the elements of $E$ have to be ordered (smallest to the biggest)?
Here is a reformulation of Rudin PMA $4.31$ remark:
Let $a$ and $b$ be two real numbers such that $a < b$, let $E$ be any countable subset of the open interval $(a,b)$, and let the elements of $E$ ...

Is there a 'simple' function that flips the order of positive numbers without making them negative?
If I want to flip the order of some numbers, I can just multiply them with -1. But is there a not too complicated way to do it such that the numbers remain positive?
Here's my attempt to word the ...

Find all real functions that satisfy: $f(x+y) = (f(x))^2 + (f(y))^2$, $x$, $y$ $\in$ $\mathbb{R}$
I am trying to find all real functions that satisfy the property: $f(x+y) = (f(x))^2 + (f(y))^2$, $x$, $y$ real numbers. I tried to substitute $x$ and $y$ with $0$ but end up with nothing, then I ...
