The document discusses inverse functions for temperature control in greenhouse climate systems. It notes that inverse functions provide a theoretical framework but have practical limitations including complex calculations, physical constraints, sensitivity to variations, nonlinearity requiring approximations, and need for continuous feedback. While inverse functions are useful conceptually, real-world implementation requires consideration of these factors for accurate and reliable performance over changing conditions.

Task 1:

Task 2:

(ii) Practical Limitations and Considerations:

1. Complexity of Calculation: In practical scenarios, the inverse function may involve complex
mathematical operations, especially if the original function is complex or nonlinear. This
complexity could make real-time calculation challenging for the control system.

2. Physical Constraints: The inverse function may yield multiple solutions or undefined values due
to physical constraints of the greenhouse system, such as minimum and maximum temperature
limits, equipment capabilities, or environmental factors like humidity and sunlight.

3. Sensitivity to Input Variations: Small variations in greenhouse temperature measurements or


control settings could lead to significant fluctuations or instability in the control system if the
inverse function is not well-defined or accurate.

4. Nonlinearity and Approximations: Real-world systems often exhibit nonlinear behavior, which
may require approximations or simplifications in the inverse function. These approximations
could introduce errors or inaccuracies in temperature control.

5. Feedback and Calibration: Continuous feedback and calibration are essential to ensure the
accuracy and reliability of the inverse function in maintaining desired temperature levels. Any
discrepancies or drifts in sensor readings or system performance could affect the effectiveness of
the inverse function.

6. System Dynamics: The greenhouse environment is dynamic, with factors like external weather
conditions, plant growth, and ventilation affecting temperature regulation. The inverse function
should be robust enough to adapt to these changes and maintain optimal conditions.

In summary, while the concept of an inverse function provides a theoretical framework for temperature
control in a greenhouse climate control system, practical implementation requires careful consideration
of computational complexity, physical constraints, system dynamics, and the need for continuous
monitoring and calibration to ensure accurate and reliable performance.

Task 3:

If , here are some transformations , , , of

(ii) Explanation of Transformations:

1. f(x)+6: This shifts the graph of f(x)= sqrt[5]{x} vertically upwards by 6 units.

2. f(x)−6: This shifts the graph of f(x)= sqrt[5]{x} vertically downwards by 6 units.

3. 5 sqrt[5]{x} 50x: This compresses the graph horizontally by a factor of 50. The graph becomes
steeper and stretches out along the x-axis.

4. 5sqrt[5]{x/50}: This stretches the graph horizontally by a factor of 50. The graph becomes flatter
and compressed along the x-axis.

(iii) Observations on Domain and Range:


1. For f(x)+6 and f(x)−6, the domain remains the same as f(x)= sqrt[5]{x}, which is all non-negative
real numbers x≥0). The range, however, shifts upwards or downwards respectively by 6 units.

2. For 5sqrt[5]{x/50}, the domain includes all real numbers since any real number x can be
multiplied by 50. The range is all real numbers, but the graph is steeper due to compression.

3. For 5sqrt[5]{x/50}, the domain includes all real numbers, but the graph is flatter due to
stretching. The range remains all real numbers.

Task 4

(a) Even Function: An even function is a function that satisfies the property f(−x)=f(x) for all x in its
domain.

To determine if the given displacement function g(t) is even, Alex can substitute -t for t in the
function and see if it remains unchanged. If g(−t)=g(t) for all t in the domain, then g(t) is an even
function.

So, for the given function g(t) = 12t^2/12t^2+53, if g(−t) = g(t) for all t, it is an even function.

(b) Graphical Analysis:

To analyze the symmetry of the graph of g(t) = 12t^2/12t^2+53, Alex can observe its symmetry visually:

1. Even Symmetry: If the graph is symmetric about the y-axis (i.e., a reflection across the y-axis
produces the same graph), then the function is even.

2. Odd Symmetry: If the graph is symmetric about the origin (i.e., a rotation of 180 degrees about
the origin produces the same graph), then the function is odd.

3. Neither Even nor Odd: If the graph exhibits no specific symmetry about the y-axis or the origin,
then it is neither even nor odd.

Alex can plot the graph of g(t) by selecting various values of t calculating the corresponding values of
g(t), and then observing its symmetry.

If g(−t) = g(t) for all t in the domain, then g(t) is an even function and will exhibit symmetry about the y-
axis. If g(−t) = −g(t) for all t in the domain, then g(t) is an odd function and will exhibit symmetry about
the origin. If neither condition holds, then the function is neither even nor odd.

Alex can use graphing software or sketch the graph by hand to observe its symmetry visually. If the graph
appears symmetric about the y-axis, it is even. If it appears symmetric about the origin, it is odd.
Otherwise, it is neither even nor odd.
