    Complex Question

    3 ways. 1. Check with calculator \sin\frac{49\pi}{30}-\sin\frac{41\pi}{30}=0 and \sin\frac{53\pi}{30}-\sin\frac{37\pi}{30}=0 2. Use sum to product...

    Complex Question

    There have to be only 5 distinct answers. sin(49pi/30) and sin(53pi/30) are included because \sin\frac{49\pi}{30}=\sin\frac{41\pi}{30} and \sin\frac{53}{30}=\sin\frac{37\pi}{30} So it matters not if you list them as...

    Determinant of matrix of order 0*0

    1 One might think it is undefined and if you try to do it in wolframalpha it can't do it. But if you want properties of matrices to be conserved it will be 1. For example if P=(A,0;0,Q), then |P|=|A||Q| and if A is empty then |P|=|Q| and so |A|=1.

    limits sigma notation

    Just let \textstyle\frac{k}{n}=x and \textstyle\frac{1}{n}=\delta x As k goes from 1 to n, x goes from \textstyle\frac{1}{n} to \textstyle\frac{n}{n} which as n\rightarrow\infty means x goes from 0 to 1. And of course in the limit \delta x becomes dx

    Uni maths textbooks/resources?

    Schaum‘s outlines are pretty good. I have hardcopy’s of them and there are so many that they will fill a whole shelf. But they are also available as ebooks. I also have the ebooks and maybe I’m old-fashioned but when I consult the Schaum outlines I almost always look at the hardcopies, not the...

    Star Wars! (SPOILER WARNING)

    Oh my goodness what is Star Wars coming too? In the remake of Return of the Jedi we saw the infamous “Nooooooo” Now we have Christopher Lloyd and Jack Black in Mandalorian S03E06? That was bad! I never thought Mandalorian could become a bad comedy act. But it almost got there with this...

    Proofs Inequality Question

    Here is a challenge: Redo EVERY divisibility proof you have ever done by induction, but without induction.

    Proofs Inequality Question

    As with many divisibility proofs however it is probably better to do it without induction. 35^n+3\times7^n+2\times5^n+6=(7^n+2)(5^n+3) \begin{aligned}5^n+3&=5^n-1+4\\&=(5-1)(5^{n-1}+5^{n-2}+\cdots+1)+4\\&=4(5^{n-1}+5^{n-2}+\cdots+1+1)\text{ is divisible by 4 and}\end{aligned}...

    Exponential and factorial inequality

    It is also true for n=6. Induction proof. \frac{6^6}{6!}=64.8>64=2^6\therefore \text{true for }n=6 \text{If true for }n=k, \frac{k^k}{k!}>2^k \text{and noting that }\frac{(k+1)^{k+1}k!}{k^k(k+1)!}=(1+\frac{1}{k})^k=1+k\cdot\frac{1}{k}+\sum_{r=2}^k{k\choose r}\cdot\frac{1}{k^r}>2 \text{then...

    \lim\limits_{n\rightarrow\infty}(-1)^{n+1}\int_0^1\frac{t^n}{1+t}dt=\int_0^10dt=0 \text{This is because as }n\rightarrow\infty, t^n\rightarrow0\text{ for }0<t<1

    inequalities using integration Q - alternating harmonic series

    It's kind of the same. a+ar+ar^2+ar^3+\cdots+ar^{n-1}=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r} a=1,r=-t 1-t+t^2-t^3+\cdots+(-1)^{n-1}t^{n-1}=\frac{1-(-t)^n}{1--t}=\frac{1}{1+t}+(-1)^{n+1}\frac{t^n}{1+t}

    inequalities using integration Q - alternating harmonic series

    \text{Suppose }x=-t \text{Noting that }1-x^n=(1-x)(1+x+x^2+x^3+\cdots+x^{n-1})\text { then} (1+t)(1-t+t^2-t^3+\cdots+(-1)^{n-1}t^{n-1})=1-(-t)^n \therefore1-t+t^2-t^3+\cdots+(-1)^{n-1}t^{n-1}=\frac{1-(-t)^n}{1+t}=\frac{1}{1+t}+(-1)^{n+1}\frac{t^n}{1+t}

    limit with consecutive factorials

    You can apply integration to the second part thus avoiding Stirling's formula but for now I'll keep the Stolz–Cesàro theorem for the first part. Maybe find another way for that later. \begin{aligned}\text{By the Stolz-Ces\`aro theorem...
