 +<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}}.
