It should not be thought that the passing of a curve from one side of its tangent line to the other at a point is a sufficient condition for the point to be a point of inflection. It may, after all, happen that the curve does not have any constant convexity on either a left- or a right-hand neighborhood of the point.
Let\n\[ f\left( x\right) = \left\{ \begin{matrix} 2{x}^{3} + {x}^{3}\sin \frac{1}{{x}^{2}} & \text{ for }x \neq 0, \\ 0 & \text{ for }x = 0. \end{matrix}\right. \]\n\nThen \( {x}^{3} \leq f\left( x\right) \leq 3{x}^{3} \) for \( 0 \leq x \) and \( 3{x}^{3} \leq f\left( x\right) \leq {x}^{3} \) for \( x \leq 0 \), so th...

Proposition 7. (Jensen’s inequality). \( {}^{19} \) If \( f : \rbrack a, b\lbrack \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is a convex function, \( {x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n} \) are points of \( \rbrack a, b\lbrack \), and \( {\alpha }_{1},\ldots ,{\alpha }_{n} \) are nonnegative numbers such that \( {\alpha }_{1} + \cdots + {\alpha }_{...
Proof. For \( n = 2 \), condition (5.95) is the same as the definition (5.92) of a convex function. We shall now show that if (5.95) is valid for \( n = m - 1 \), it is also valid for \( n = m \) . For the sake of definiteness, assume that \( {\alpha }_{n} \neq 0 \) in the set \( {\alpha }_{1},\ldots ,{\alpha }_{n} \) ...

The function \( f\left( x\right) = \ln x \) is strictly convex upward on the set of positive numbers, and so by (5.96)\n\n\[{\alpha }_{1}\ln {x}_{1} + \cdots + {\alpha }_{n}\ln {x}_{n} \leq \ln \left( {{\alpha }_{1}{x}_{1} + \cdots + {\alpha }_{n}{x}_{n}}\right)\]

Let \( f\left( x\right) = {x}^{p}, x \geq 0, p > 1 \) .

Example 19. \( \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{x \rightarrow 0}}\frac{\sin x}{x} = \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{x \rightarrow 0}}\frac{\cos x}{1} = 1 \) .
This example should not be looked on as a new, independent proof of the relation \( \frac{\sin x}{x} \rightarrow 1 \) as \( x \rightarrow 0 \) . The fact is that in deriving the relation \( {\sin }^{\prime }x = \cos x \) we already made use of the limit just calculated.

The construction of a sketch of the graph of the function\n\n\[ y = \sin \left( {x}^{2}\right) \]

Proposition 2. The series (5.110) converges if and only if for every \( \varepsilon > 0 \) there exists \( N \in \mathbb{N} \) such that\n\n\[ \left| {{z}_{m} + \cdots + {z}_{n}}\right| < \varepsilon \]\n\n(5.111)\n\nfor any natural numbers \( n \geq m > N \) .
From this one can see that a necessary condition for convergence of the series (5.110) is that \( {z}_{n} \rightarrow 0 \) as \( n \rightarrow \infty \) . (This, however, is also clear from the very definition of convergence.)\n\nAs in the real case, the series (5.110) is absolutely convergent if the series\n\n\[ \left...

Proposition 4. If a series \( {z}_{1} + {z}_{2} + \cdots + {z}_{n} + \cdots \) of complex numbers converges absolutely, then a series \( {z}_{{n}_{1}} + {z}_{{n}_{2}} + \cdots + {z}_{{n}_{k}} + \cdots \) obtained by rear- \( {\text{ranging}}^{24} \) its terms also converges absolutely and has the same sum.
Proof. Using the convergence of the series \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 1}}^{\infty }\left| {z}_{n}\right| \), given a number \( \varepsilon > 0 \), we choose \( N \in \mathbb{N} \) such that \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = N + 1}}^{\infty }\left| {z}_{n}\right| < \varepsilon \) .\n\nWe then find an index \( K \in \ma...

Proposition 5. The product of absolutely convergent series is an absolutely convergent series whose sum equals the product of the sums of the factor series.
Proof. We begin by remarking that whatever finite sum \( \sum {a}_{i}{b}_{j} \) of terms of the form \( {a}_{i}{b}_{j} \) we take, we can always find \( N \) such that the product of the sums \( {A}_{N} = {a}_{1} + \cdots + {a}_{N} \) and \( {B}_{N} = {b}_{1} + \cdots + {b}_{N} \) contains all the terms in that sum.

The series \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n!}{a}^{n} \) and \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{m = 0}}^{\infty }\frac{1}{m!}{b}^{m} \) converge absolutely. In the product of these series let us group together all monomials of the form \( {a}^{n}{b}^{m} \) having the same total degree \( n + m = k \) . We ...
But\n\n\[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{m + n = k}}\frac{1}{n!m!}{a}^{n}{b}^{m} = \frac{1}{k!}\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{k}\frac{k!}{n!\left( {k - n}\right) !}{a}^{n}{b}^{k - n} = \frac{1}{k!}{\left( a + b\right) }^{k}, \]\n\nand therefore we find that\n\n\[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n!}{a}^{n} ...

If \( z = r{\mathrm{e}}^{\mathrm{i}\varphi } \), then by (5.128), we have \( {z}^{n} = {r}^{n}{\mathrm{e}}^{\mathrm{i}{n\varphi }} \), so that in this case the image of the disk of radius \( r \) is the disk of radius \( {r}^{n} \), each point of which is the image of \( n \) points in the original disk (located, as it...
The only exception is the point \( w = 0 \), whose pre-image is the point \( z = 0 \) . However, as \( z \rightarrow 0 \), the function \( {z}^{n} \) is an infinitesimal of order \( n \), and so we say that at \( z = 0 \) the function has a zero of order \( n \) . Taking account of this kind of multiplicity, one can no...

Every polynomial \( P\left( z\right) = {c}_{0} + \cdots + {c}_{n}{z}^{n} \) of degree \( n \geq 1 \) with complex coefficients admits a representation in the form\n\n\[ P\left( z\right) = {c}_{n}\left( {z - {z}_{1}}\right) \cdots \left( {z - {z}_{n}}\right) \]\n\nwhere \( {z}_{1},\ldots ,{z}_{n} \in \mathbb{C} \) (and ...
Proof. From the long division algorithm for dividing one polynomial \( P\left( z\right) \) by another polynomial \( Q\left( z\right) \) of lower degree, we find that \( P\left( z\right) = q\left( z\right) Q\left( z\right) + r\left( z\right) \) , where \( q\left( z\right) \) and \( r\left( z\right) \) are polynomials, t...

Every polynomial \( P\left( z\right) = {a}_{0} + \cdots + {a}_{n}{z}^{n} \) with real coefficients can be expanded as a product of linear and quadratic polynomials with real coefficients.
This follows from Corollary 1 and Remark 2, by virtue of which for any root \( {z}_{k} \) of \( P\left( z\right) \) the number \( {\bar{z}}_{k} \) is also a root. Then, carrying out the multiplication \( \left( {z - {z}_{k}}\right) \left( {z - {\bar{z}}_{k}}\right) \) in the product (5.132), we obtain the quadratic pol...

Corollary 3. Every root \( {z}_{j} \) of multiplicity \( {k}_{j} > 1 \) of a polynomial \( P\left( z\right) \) is a root of multiplicity \( {k}_{j} - 1 \) of the derivative \( {P}^{\prime }\left( z\right) \) .
Indeed, by the Euclidean algorithm, we first find the greatest common divisor \( q\left( z\right) \) of \( P\left( z\right) \) and \( {P}^{\prime }\left( z\right) \) . By Corollary 3, the expansion (5.133), and Theorem 2, the polynomial \( q\left( z\right) \) is equal, apart from a constant factor, to \( {\left( z - {z...

If \( Q\left( z\right) = {\left( z - {z}_{1}\right) }^{{k}_{1}}\cdots {\left( z - {z}_{p}\right) }^{{k}_{p}} \) and \( \frac{P\left( z\right) }{Q\left( z\right) } \) is a proper fraction, there exists a unique representation of the fraction \( \frac{P\left( z\right) }{Q\left( z\right) } \) in the form
\[ \frac{P\left( z\right) }{Q\left( z\right) } = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{j = 1}}^{p}\left( {\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{k = 1}}^{{k}_{j}}\frac{{a}_{jk}}{{\left( z - {z}_{j}\right) }^{k}}}\right) . \]

Find the partial-fraction expansion (5.135) of the fraction \( \frac{P\left( x\right) }{Q\left( x\right) } \).
First of all, the problem is complicated by the fact that we do not know the factors of the polynomial \( Q\left( x\right) \). Let us try to simplify the situation by eliminating any multiple roots there may be of \( Q\left( x\right) \). We find\n\n\[ {Q}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = 7{x}^{6} + {18}{x}^{5} + {25}{x}^{4} ...

Proposition 1. A necessary condition for a function \( f \) defined on a closed interval \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) to be Riemann integrable on \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) is that \( f \) be bounded on \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) .
Proof. If \( f \) is not bounded on \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \), then for any partition \( P \) of \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) the function \( f \) is unbounded on at least one of the intervals \( \left\lbrack {{x}_{i - 1},{x}_{i}}\right\rbrack \) of \( P \) .
