Let S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}. Define f : S $\to$ S as
$$f(n) = \left\{ {\matrix{
{2n} & , & {if\,n = 1,2,3,4,5} \cr
{2n - 11} & , & {if\,n = 6,7,8,9,10} \cr
} } \right.$$.
Let g : S $\to$ S be a function such that $$fog(n) = \left\{ {\matrix{
{n + 1} & , & {if\,n\,\,is\,odd} \cr
{n - 1} & , & {if\,n\,\,is\,even} \cr
} } \right.$$.
Then $g(10)g(1) + g(2) + g(3) + g(4) + g(5))$ is equal to _____________.
Answer (integer)
190
Solution
<p>$\because$ $$f(n) = \left\{ {\matrix{
{2n,} & {n = 1,2,3,4,5} \cr
{2n - 11,} & {n = 6,7,8,9,10} \cr} } \right.$$</p>
<p>$\therefore$ f(1) = 2, f(2) = 4, ......, f(5) = 10</p>
<p>and f(6) = 1, f(7) = 3, f(8) = 5, ......, f(10) = 9</p>
<p>Now, $$f(g(n)) = \left\{ {\matrix{
{n + 1,} & {if\,n\,is\,odd} \cr
{n - 1,} & {if\,n\,is\,even} \cr
} } \right.$$</p>
<p>$\therefore$ $$\matrix{
{f(g(10)) = 9} & { \Rightarrow g(10) = 10} \cr
{f(g(1)) = 2} & { \Rightarrow g(1) = 1} \cr
{f(g(2)) = 1} & { \Rightarrow g(2) = 6} \cr
{f(g(3)) = 4} & { \Rightarrow g(3) = 2} \cr
{f(g(4)) = 3} & { \Rightarrow g(4) = 7} \cr
{f(g(5)) = 6} & { \Rightarrow g(5) = 3} \cr
} $$</p>
<p>$\therefore$ $g(10)g(1) + g(2) + g(3) + g(4) + g(5)) = 190$</p>
