Monotonicity of tangent












0












$begingroup$


obviously for $a,b in ]frac{-pi}{2},frac{pi}{2}[$ the ordinary tangent map is strictly monotonic. Hence for $b geq a Rightarrow tan(b) geq tan(a)$. In the proof I try to understand it follows that $tan(]a,b[)=]tan(a),tan(b)[$. I need this since once proven I can conclude that tan maps open sets to open sets. It is clear that this statement is indeed true, but how to prove?



Thanks for your help!

    Yes, for any continuous function $f:[a,b]rightarrow mathbb{R}$ you have $f([a,b]) = [min{f},max{f}]$ and in particular if $f$ is monotonic you know what the max and min are

    @user25959 Thanks, your first statement follows from the fact that any interval in $mathbb{R}$ is compact and since f is continous it follows that the image contains the minimum and maximum?

    The fact that the image is an interval follows from intermediate value theorem. That fact about maximum and minimum being attained is also true.

$$xin (a,b)Longleftrightarrow a<x<b$$
$$Longleftrightarrow a<x and x<b$$
$$Longleftrightarrow tan(a)<tan(x) and tan(x)<tan(b)$$
which follows due to monotonicity of tangent function

            Quarter-circle Tiles

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

            0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton?
