It's not clear what bar you're referring to. The "measure" in music is often colloquially

referred to as a "bar", but that clearly has nothing to do with the pitch of the notes

in it.

-- The only reasonable one I can think of is the bar of metal you tap with a hammer to

produce a tone. In that case, as long as the cross-section and the material composition

of the bar don't change, the pitch of the note you get out of it is inversely proportional to the length of the bar.

-- How about the bars on a xylophone, marimba, kalimba, vibraphone, etc. The above comments apply.

-- The pitch of the notes has no connection to the size of the drinking establishment in which

they are played or sung.

The paper given by the attached link claims that a bar in a xylophone produces a collection of frequencies that are inversely proportional to the square of the length of the bar.

What do you think the graph of function g(x) x plus 2 will look like Explain your thinking. Note We'll call this new function g(x) since we're already using f(x) as the name of the function x?

It is a straight line because the equation is a linear expression in x.


What is it called when an equation describes a function?

I don't think there is a special name for that. Note that not all functions can be described by a single equation - at least, not in a natural way. For example, a function may be described by parts.


How do you find an inverse of a function?

The inverse of a function can be found by switching the independent variable (typically the "x") and the dependent variable (typically the "y") and solving for the "new y". You can also create a t-chart for the original function, switch the x and the y, and graph the new relation.You will note that a function and its inverse are symmetrical around the line "y = x".Sometimes the inverse of a function is not actually a function; since it doesn't pass the "vertical line test"; in this case, you have to restrict the new function by "erasing" some of it to make it a function.


Can you Give an example of bounded function which is not Riemann integrable?

Yes. A well-known example is the function defined as: f(x) = * 1, if x is rational * 0, if x is irrational Since this function has infinitely many discontinuities in any interval (it is discontinuous in any point), it doesn't fulfill the conditions for a Riemann-integrable function. Please note that this function IS Lebesgue-integrable. Its Lebesgue-integral over the interval [0, 1], or in fact over any finite interval, is zero.


How do you calculate f times x?

If you know the values of "f" and "x", you just do the multiplication.Please note that if you see something like: y = f(x) this usually does NOT mean that f and x should be multiplied; it means that "y" SOMEHOW depends on "x", i.e., it is a function of "x". To calculate the value of this function, you need to know how exactly the function is defined.

Can the function f(x)52x equal 200?

Sure; a linear function such as this one can be equal to ANY real number.To know at what value of "x" this happens, just solve the equation 52x = 200. (Note: This will not be a whole number.)
