... α1 α2 · · · αn = (−1)n an In these equations, you should think of ai as given, and αi as being unknown numbers that you are trying to find. We started off with a single equation in one variable, and now we have n equations in n variables. How on earth could this be any easier than the original probl ...

... A. We already learned how to find the domain of functions. • We learned that the domain of a function is the largest set of real numbers for which the value of f(x) is a real number. • The only time we have not gotten a real number as a value is when a denominator is 0. • An expression where the den ...

Functional decomposition
Functional decomposition refers broadly to the process of resolving a functional relationship into its constituent parts in such a way that the original function can be reconstructed (i.e., recomposed) from those parts by function composition. In general, this process of decomposition is undertaken either for the purpose of gaining insight into the identity of the constituent components (which may reflect individual physical processes of interest, for example), or for the purpose of obtaining a compressed representation of the global function, a task which is feasible only when the constituent processes possess a certain level of modularity (i.e., independence or non-interaction). Interactions between the components are critical to the function of the collection. All interactions may not be observable, but possibly deduced through repetitive perception, synthesis, validation and verification of composite behavior.
