question on function and image












0












$begingroup$


Consider $f: R^2-> R$ given by
$f(v,w)=(v+w)/2 +|v-w|/2$



We also had to show that $g=f$ where $g: R^2-> R$ given by



g(v,w)= v if v>=w and w if v<0



Derive with proof the image of [0,1] times [-1,1] under f.



Quite stuck with this question i think i have figured out that the image is [0,1] but not sure. Then you have to prove this so something to do with showing f([0,1] times [-1,1]) is a subset of [0,1] and show the other way but no idea reall yhow to do this. Thanks for help in advance



im ok with the g=f part just need help with the image part.

          The definition of $f(v,w)$ suggests that it is just the maximum of $v$ and $w$



          The image is $[0,1] $ because you can simply pick $v=0$ and run $w$ over $[0,1]$

            Consider the cases $v geq w$ and $v<w$. In the first case $|v-w|=v-w$ so $f(v,w)=v$ and in the second case $|v-w|=w-v$ so $f(v,w)=w$. This proves that $f=g$. Note that $|x|+x geq 0$ for any real number $x$. Hence $f$ takes only non-negative values. From the form of $g$ it follows that the image is contained in $[0,1]$. To show that the image is all of $[0,1]$ just note that $g(t,0)=t$ for all $t in [0,1]$.
