I have no idea how to solve this problem. Our Algebra teacher said that if we can solve this problem, then we get 10 extra points on our mid term.
Let f(x) be a function defined on the positive integers such that: f(x) = x/2 if x is even f(x) = (3*x+1)/2 if x is odd |

where's the calculus in this?
also, where's the problem? lol i'm really confused. does she want you to graph it? in that case, i've attached my best guess... not sure if this is the answer, we havent really done this in calc and its very late also ive summarily forgotten all the stuff we've learned this year due to finals already being over with so THIS IS MOST LIKELY WRONG AND I'M TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT ITS JUST A GUESS haha sry but im being paranoid that you'll rely on my answer and itll turn out to be horribly and fudgily wrong. (the red is what the graph would be) (edit)OK JK NVM itd be the 2nd graph im attaching.. even and odd can only be integers *cry* why am i so dumb This post has been edited by anoniez: Dec 17 2005, 06:24 AM |
