Hello! (Smile)I want to determine if $\sqrt{n}$ is $\Theta $ / $O$ / $\Omega$, $o$, $\omega$ of $n^{\sin n}$. To do so we could calculate the limit: $$\lim_{n \to +\infty} \frac{\sqrt{n}}{n^{\sin n}}$$ right? But how can we find the limit, although $\lim_{n \to +\infty} \sin n$ does not...

Suppose two people, X and Y, have two different stopwatches. X starts his/her stopwatch as some particle passes an origin. We can model the velocity of the particle by ##\vec{v}(T)##, where ##T## is the reading on the first stopwatch. After an amount of time ##\Delta t##, Y starts his/her...

What are the rules if you have a sequence f_n of real-valued functions on \mathbb R and consider the sequence f_n(x_n), where x_n is some sequence of real numbers that converges: x_n \to x. All I have found is an exercise in Baby Rudin that says that if f_n \to f uniformly on E, then f_n(x_n)...

Let A(a, b, c) and A'(a′,b′,c′) be two distinct points in R3. Let f from [0 , 1] to R3 be defined by f(t) = (1 -t) A + t A'. Instead of calling the component functions of f ,(f1, f2, f3) let us simply write f = (x, y, z). Express x; y; z in terms of the coordinates of A and A, and t. I thought...

For example, say we have ##\frac{x^4(x - 1)}{x^2}##. The function is undefined at 0, but if we cancel the x's, we get a new function that is defined at 0. So, in this case, we have ##x^2(x - 1)##, then ##x^2(x - 1)(1)##, and since ##\frac{x^2}{x^2} = 1##, we then have ##\frac{x^4(x - 1)}{x^2}##...

Homework Statement [23/4, 2] 4/(x√(x4-4)) Homework Equations ∫ du/(u√(u2 - a2)) = 1/a(sec-1(u/a) + c The Attempt at a Solution I first multiplied the whole thing by x/x. This made the problem: 4x/(x2√(x4 - 4)) Then I did a u substitution making u = x2. Therefore, du = 2xdx. I multiplied by...

Suppose you have a λφ4 theory. Books only seem to calculate counter-terms for 2-pt and 4-pt functions. But what about 3 particles scattering into 3 particles? Do the counter-terms determined by renormalizing the 2-pt and 4-pt functions cancel divergences in 3x3 scattering? For example, take...

I'm trying to solve this problem from a high school math competition: Find all functions f : R → R such that, f(f(x+y)-f(x-y))=xy, for all real x,y. Any ideas of how to approach it. I have found that f(0)=0, if x=y f(f(2x))=x^2

As I read in the James Stewart's Calculus 7th edition, he said: My question is: Is f(x)\rightarrow 0 the same as f(x) = L? For example, f(x) = x^2 \displaystyle\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x) = 25 I can say that f(x) = x^2 approaches 25 as x approaches 5. Therefore, can I say that the...

I have a question concerning how how we define the differentiation and integration operators. Firstly, I know that functions are typically defined as an ordered triple triple ##(X, Y, f)## such that ##f⊆X×Y##, where ##x \in X## and ##f(x) \in Y##. This all seems nice and fine, but we also define...

So I was watching this video on Khan Academy, and it talks about graphing functions that have values in multiple dimensions. It shows how to represent a linear function in 3 dimensions with a set of vectors, L ={p1 + t(p1-p2)|t∈R} where p1 and p2 are vectors that lie on the line you want to...

$$\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\d{}{x} \left(\sin\left({\frac{x}{2}}\right)\cos\left({\frac{x}{3}}\right)\right)\,dx$$ the ans the TI gave me was $\frac{\sqrt{6}}{4}$ the derivative can by found by the product rule. but really expands the problem so not sure how the $\frac{d}{dx}$ played in this.
