Solve the equation fof(x)=0 Where f(x)=1/(x^2+x)

(fof)(x) = f(f(x))


We'll
substitute x by f(x) and we'll get:


f(f(x)) =
1/[f^2(x)+f(x)]


f(f(x)) = 1/[1/(x^2+x)^2 +
1/(x^2+x)]


f(f(x)) = (x^2+x)^2/(1 + x +
x^2)


We'll put f(f(x)) =
0:


(x^2+x)^2/(1 + x + x^2) =
0


Since the denominator is always positive, we'll put the
numerator as zero:


(x^2+x)^2 =
(x^2+x)(x^2+x)


(x^2+x)^2 =
0


(x^2+x)(x^2+x) = 0


We'll
factorize by x both brackets:


x*x(x+1)(x+1) =
0


x1 = 0 and x2 =
0


x + 1 =
0


x3 = -1 and x4 =
-1


The solutions of the
equation (fof)(x) = 0 are {-1 ; 0}.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
