Type 1 Problem for Monday, 9/19
For this problem, refer to the box on page 526.
Let a>0 be a positive real constant.
- Compute the domain of f(x)=sqrt(a^2-x^2).
- Compute the range of f(x).
- Let the domain of g(t)=a*sin(t) be [-Pi/2,Pi/2]. What is the range
of g(t)?
- What are the domain and range of the function composition f(g(t))?
- If we instead use the substitution x=a*cos(t), so that g(t)=a*cos(t), what
is a good choice of domain of g(t) and why?
