The problem describes two functions, $H = C(m)$ and $m = a(s)$. $H = C(m)$ gives the speed of a car in mph after $m$ minutes. $m = a(s)$ converts $s$ seconds into $m$ minutes. The first part of the problem asks for the input and output of the composition $C(a(s))$. The second part of the problem introduces a function $f(v) = z$ that converts the speed $v$ in mph into $z$ the speed in ft/sec. The problem asks for the input and output of the function $f(C(m))$.

1. Problem Description

The problem describes two functions, H=C(m)H = C(m) and m=a(s)m = a(s). H=C(m)H = C(m) gives the speed of a car in mph after mm minutes. m=a(s)m = a(s) converts ss seconds into mm minutes. The first part of the problem asks for the input and output of the composition C(a(s))C(a(s)).
The second part of the problem introduces a function f(v)=zf(v) = z that converts the speed vv in mph into zz the speed in ft/sec. The problem asks for the input and output of the function f(C(m))f(C(m)).

2. Solution Steps

First part: C(a(s))C(a(s))
* The input of C(a(s))C(a(s)) is ss, which represents seconds.
* The function a(s)a(s) converts ss seconds into mm minutes, so a(s)=ma(s) = m.
* The function C(m)C(m) takes mm minutes as input and outputs HH, which is the speed in mph.
* Therefore, the output of C(a(s))C(a(s)) is HH, which represents the speed in mph.
Second part: f(C(m))f(C(m))
* The input of f(C(m))f(C(m)) is mm, which represents minutes.
* The function C(m)C(m) takes mm minutes as input and outputs v=C(m)v=C(m), which is the speed in mph.
* The function f(v)f(v) takes vv in mph and outputs zz, the speed in ft/sec. Thus, z=f(v)=f(C(m))z = f(v) = f(C(m)).
* Therefore, the output of f(C(m))f(C(m)) is zz, which represents the speed in ft/sec.

3. Final Answer

For the composition C(a(s))C(a(s)):
Input: ss (seconds)
Output: HH (speed in mph)
For the function f(C(m))f(C(m)):
Input: mm (minutes)
Output: zz (speed in ft/sec)
