Differentiate, from first principles, y=x^2

According to first principles, the differential is found as the limit as h->0 of:[f(x+h)-f(x)] / hif we set our f to x^2, then we find that this expression becomes (x^2+2hx+h^2 - x^2)/hWhich simplifies...

A sequence of numbers have the property that x, 12, y, where x > 0, y > 0, form a geometric sequence while 12, x, 3y form an arithmetic sequence. A)If xy = k, find k. B)Find the value of x and y.

A) Since x, 12, y form a geometric sequence, we know that there exists some real number "r" (common ratio) such that 12=xr and y=12r. Hence, r= 12/x =y/12 => xy=144 => k=144 (cros...

How does proof by induction work?

When using proof by induction we most often prove a statement P for positive integers n. We think about the problem in a domino-toppling fashion. The first step is to write out P(n=1), so inserting 1 for ...

Prove 2^(n+2) + 3^(2n+1) is a multiple of 7 for all positive integers of n by mathematical induction.

Let P(n) be the proposition that 2n+2 + 32n+1 is a multiple of 7 for all positive integers of n.
Let n=123 + 33 = 8 + 27 = 35 = 7(5)This is divisible by 7....
