+ | <box 85% round orange| Problem 2 (due Monday, February 24)> | ||
+ | Is it possible to find two functions $f,g:\mathbb R\longrightarrow \mathbb R$ and a rational function $S(u,w)$ in two variables such that | ||
+ | \[\cos(xy)=S(f(x),g(y))\] | ||
+ | for all real numbers $x,y$. (Recall that a rational function in 2 variables is a quotient of two | ||
+ | polynomial functions in two variables). | ||

+ | The problem was solved by Josiah Moltz and Dr Mathew Wolak. Their solutions follow the same idea as | ||
+ | our in-house solution. For details see the following link {{:pow:2025sproblem2.pdf|Solution}}. |
