Just looking at the summand, I can see that the function is ln(pi/4 + x^2) as the (i pi/2n) term is the 'x' term. How do I determine the limits of the integral, however? I was thinking about using the lower bound of the summation --> this given the (pi / 2n)^2 term, implying that nothing was...

Hello all, I'm in the process of learning about 3 phase power and how to wire loads to a generator. I've searched high and low with as many sentence structures as I could think of in the google search bar and I can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for. I'm really hoping you guys can...

Find, with proof, the sum of the alternating series $$\sum_{n = 0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n}{(2n+1)^3}$$

My interest is on the (highlighted part in yellow ) of finding the partial fractions- Phew took me time to figure out this out :cool: My approach on the highlighted part; i let ##(kr+1) =x ## then, ##\dfrac{1}{(kr+1)(kr-k+1)} = \dfrac{1}{x(x-k)}## then...

There is a mistake on this textbook (The mistake is pretty obvious) but hey I hope I did not miss something... ought to be ##40425 - 19600##

##(1+x)^n=1+C_1x+C_2x^2+C_3x^3...+C_nx^n## Let ##x=1##, hence ##2^n=1+C_1+C_2+C_3...+C_n## which is equal to the sum of the coefficients. I originally thought the sum of the coefficients would be ##2^n-1## since the very first term ##1## is just a number and has no variable. But apparently...

Hi! I am having trouble finalizing this problem. The interval is given so we know that a = 1 and b = 2. From there you can figure out that ∆x = 1/n, xiR = 1 + i/n. Using logarithmic properties, I rearranged the expression and wrote (1 + i/n)(1/n)ln[(n + i)/n]. I can guess that the function is...

Hi! I understand that this is an expanded Riemann sum but I'm having trouble determining its original form. I don't actually have any ideas as to how to find it, but I know that once I determine the original form of the Riemann sum, I will be able to figure out the values for a, b, and f. If...

Hi, I'm struggling with understanding the idea of tensor product and direct sum beyond the very basics. I know that direct sum of 2 vectors basically stacks one on top of another - I don't understand more than this . For tensor product I know that for a product of 2 matrices A and B the tensor...

Attempt; ##\dfrac{1}{r(r+1)(r+2)} -\dfrac{1}{(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)}=\dfrac{(r+3)-1(r)}{r(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)}=\dfrac{3}{r(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)}## Let ##f(r)=\dfrac{1}{r(r+1)(r+2)}## ##f(r+1)= \dfrac{1}{(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)}## Therefore ##\dfrac{3}{r(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)}## is of the form ##f(r)-f(r+1)## When...

From my physical problem, I ended up having a sum that looks like the following. S_N(\omega) = \sum_{q = 1}^{N-1} \left(1 - \frac{q}{N}\right) \exp{\left(-\frac{q^2\sigma^2}{2}\right)} \cos{\left(\left(\mu - \omega\right)q\right)} I want to know what is the sum when N \to \infty. Here...

I've came across the two following theorems in my studies of Probability Generating Functions: Theorem 1: Suppose ##X_1, ... , X_n## are independent random variables, and let ##Y = X_1 + ... + X_n##. Then, ##G_Y(s) = \prod_{i=1}^n G_{X_i}(s)## Theorem 2: Let ##X_1, X_2, ...## be a sequence of...

Hi ! In a Feynman diagram, can we consider that the propagator specifying the transition amplitude of a particle (let's say, of a "real" electron, or of a "virtual" photon) between two points or two vertices, is in fact itself the sum of a multiplicity of probability amplitudes, each one...

Since we are adding numbers produced according to a fixed pattern, there must also be a pattern (or formula) for finding the sum. Hi, We use this method to find the ##S_n##. I don't understand how the sum will also be in a pattern. Can someone please explain this line in bold?

I am refreshing on this; of course i may need your insight where necessary...I intend to attempt the highlighted...this is a relatively new area to me... For part (a), We shall let ##f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x(2-x)}##, let ##g(x)## be the even function and ##h(x)## be the odd function. It follows...

Find all triples (a, b, c) of positive integers such that ##a^3+b^3+c^3=(abc)^2##.

See the work below: I feel like it that I did it correctly. I feel like I skip a step in my induction. Please point any errors.

If a and b are two real numbers such that ##a^3-3a^2+5a=1## and ##b^3-3b^2+5b=5##, evaluate a + b.

im thinking i should just integrate (binominal distribution 1-2000 * prime probability function) and divide by integral of bin. distr. 1-2000. note that I am looking for a novel proof, not just some brute force calculation. (this isn't homework, I am just curious.)

Hello. As is known, we can neglect high-order term in expression ##f(x+dx)-f(x)##. For ##y=x^2##: ##dy=2xdx+dx^2##, ##dy=2xdx##. I read that infinitesimals have property: ##dx+dx^2=dx## I tried to neglect high-order terms in integral sum (##dx^2## and ##4dx^2## and so on) and I obtained wrong...

Hello, I would like to know, if there's a closed form solution to the following problem: Given a sum of say, 3 sines, with the form y = sin(a.2.PI.t) + sin(b.2.PI.t) + sin(c.2.PI.t) where a,b,c are constants and PI = 3.141592654 and the periods in the expression are multiplication signs, what...

Dear Colleagues I posted the same post in the group of Analysis. Perhaps it should have been posted here. It is a finite series for which I am seeking the sum. I tried using MATHEMATICA which did not work. Someone told me MAPLE will do it. So if one has it, I shall be thankful. All you have to...

How do I merge ##x^n + \displaystyle\sum^x_{k=1} \frac{d^k}{d^kx} \frac{x^ny^k}{k}##? I tried changing the denominator of the summand to ##k+1## and make ##k## go from zero, but I had to divide by zero when k equaled one.

I got something like this, but I'm not sure it is correct, because if it has the same order of convergence as trapezoidal rule which is 2, it should yield the same result as trapezoidal rule but mine doesn't (?). For example sin(x) for [0,1], n with trapezoidal rule = 0.420735... With my own...

Let ## n ## be an integer. Now we consider two cases. Case #1: Suppose ## n ## is even. Then ## n=2k ## for some ## k\in\mathbb{N} ##. Thus ## n^{5}=(2k)^{5}=32k^{5}\equiv 0 \pmod 4 ##. Case #2: Suppose ## n ## is odd. Then ## n=4k+1 ## or ## n=4k+3 ## for some ## k\in\mathbb{N} ##. Thus ##...

Proof: Suppose ## p ## and ## p+2 ## are twin primes such that ## p>3 ##. Let ## p=2k+1 ## for some ## k\in\mathbb{N} ##. Then we have ## p+(p+2)=2k+1+(2k+1+2)=4k+4=4(k+1)=4m ##, where ## m ## is an integer. Thus, the sum of twin primes ## p ## and ## p+2 ## is divisible by ## 4 ##. Since ##...

Hi, I'm wondering if I have an expression for the scalar magnetic potential (V_in) and (V_out) inside and outside a magnetic cylinder and the potential is continue everywhere, which mean ##V^1 - V^2 = 0## at the boundary. Does it means that ##V^1 - V^2 = V_{in} - V_{out} = 0## ?
