D. Evaluate each of the following. (5 points) Let f(x) =x+1/x

1. f(1)
2. (f •f)(1)
3. (f•f•f)(1)
4. (f•f•f•f)(1)
5. (f•f•f•f•f)(1)

Problem 1

f(x) = x + 1/x

f(1) = 1 + 1/1

f(1) = 1 + 1

f(1) = 2

2

Problem 2

(f o f)(1) = f( f(1) )

(f o f)(1) = f( 2 )

(f o f)(1) = 2 + 1/2

(f o f)(1) = 4/2 + 1/2

(f o f)(1) = 5/2

 5/2

Problem 3

(f o f o f)(1) = f(  f(f(1)) )

(f o f o f)(1) = f(  (f o f)(1) )

(f o f o f)(1) = f(  5/2 )

(f o f o f)(1) = 5/2 + 1/(5/2)

(f o f o f)(1) = 5/2 + 2/5

(f o f o f)(1) = 25/10 + 4/10

(f o f o f)(1) = 29/10

29/10

Problem 4

(f o f o f o f)(1) = f(   f(f(f(1))   )

(f o f o f o f)(1) = f(   (f o f o f)(1)    )

(f o f o f o f)(1) = f(   29/10   )

(f o f o f o f)(1) = 29/10 + 1/(29/10)

(f o f o f o f)(1) = 29/10 + 10/29

(f o f o f o f)(1) = 841/290 + 100/290

(f o f o f o f)(1) = 941/290

941/290

Problem 5

(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = f(   f(f(f(f(1   )

(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = f(   (f o f o f o f)(1)  )

(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = f(   941/290  )

(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = 941/290 + 1/(941/290)

(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = 941/290 + 290/941

(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = 885481/272890 + 84100/272890

(f o f o f o f o f)(1) = 969581/272890

969581/272890
