Proposition 6 A function \( f : \rbrack a, b\lbrack \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) that is differentiable on the open interval \( \rbrack a, b\left\lbrack \right. \) is convex (downward) on \( \rbrack a, b\lbrack \) if and only if its graph contains no points below any tangent drawn to it. In that case, a necessary and suff...
Proof Necessity. Let \( {x}_{0} \in \rbrack a, b\lbrack \) . The equation of the tangent line to the graph at \( \left( {{x}_{0}, f\left( {x}_{0}\right) }\right) \) has the form\n\n\[ y = f\left( {x}_{0}\right) + {f}^{\prime }\left( {x}_{0}\right) \left( {x - {x}_{0}}\right) ,\]\n\nso that\n\n\[ f\left( x\right) - y\le...
Yes
The function \( f\left( x\right) = {\mathrm{e}}^{x} \) is strictly convex.
The straight line \( y = x + 1 \) is tangent to the graph of this function at \( \left( {0,1}\right) \), since \( f\left( 0\right) = {\mathrm{e}}^{0} = 1 \) and \( {f}^{\prime }\left( 0\right) = \) \( {\left. {\mathrm{e}}^{x}\right| }_{x = 0} = 1 \) . By Proposition 6 we conclude that for any \( x \in \mathbb{R} \)\n\n...
Yes
When considering the function \( f\left( x\right) = \sin x \) in Example 12 we found the regions of convexity and concavity for its graph. We shall now show that the points of the graph with abscissas \( x = {\pi k}, k \in \mathbb{Z} \), are points of inflection.
Indeed, \( {f}^{\prime \prime }\left( x\right) = - \sin x \), so that \( {f}^{\prime \prime }\left( x\right) = 0 \) at \( x = {\pi k}, k \in \mathbb{Z} \) . Moreover, \( {f}^{\prime \prime }\left( x\right) \) changes sign as we pass through these points, which is a sufficient condition for a point of inflection (see Fi...
Yes
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.
An example is easy to construct, by improving Example 5, which was given for just this purpose. Let\n\n\[ f\left( x\right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 2{x}^{3} + {x}^{3}\sin \frac{1}{{x}^{2}} & \text{ for }x \neq 0, \\ 0 & \text{ for }x = 0. \end{array}\right. \]\n\nThen \( {x}^{3} \leq f\left( x\right) \leq 3{x}^{3} \...

Proposition 7 (Jensen’s inequality) \( {}^{19} \) If \( f : \rbrack a, b\lbrack \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is a convex function, \( \left. {{x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n}\text{are points of}}\right\rbrack a, b\left\lbrack \right. \), and \( {\alpha }_{1},\ldots ,{\alpha }_{n} \) are nonnegative numbers such that\n\n\( {\alpha ...
Proof For \( n = 2 \), condition (5.95) is the same as the definition (5.92) of a convex function.\n\nWe shall now show that if (5.95) is valid for \( n = m - 1 \), it is also valid for \( n = m \) .\n\nFor the sake of definiteness, assume that \( {\alpha }_{n} \neq 0 \) in the set \( {\alpha }_{1},\ldots ,{\alpha }_{n...
Yes
The function \( f\left( x\right) = \ln x \) is strictly convex upward on the set of positive numbers, and so by (5.96)
\[ {\alpha }_{1}\ln {x}_{1} + \cdots + {\alpha }_{n}\ln {x}_{n} \leq \ln \left( {{\alpha }_{1}{x}_{1} + \cdots + {\alpha }_{n}{x}_{n}}\right) \] \[ {x}_{1}^{{\alpha }_{1}}\cdots {x}_{n}^{{\alpha }_{n}} \leq {\alpha }_{1}{x}_{1} + \cdots + {\alpha }_{n}{x}_{n} \] (5.97) for \( {x}_{i} \geq 0,{\alpha }_{i} \geq 0, i = 1,...
Yes
Example 18 Let \( f\left( x\right) = {x}^{p}, x \geq 0, p > 1 \) . Since such a function is convex, we have\n\n\[{\left( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{n}{\alpha }_{i}{x}_{i}\right) }^{p} \leq \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{n}{\alpha }_{i}{x}_{i}^{p}\]\n\nSetting \( q = \frac{p}{p - 1},{\alpha }_{i} = {b}_{i}^{q}{\...
\[\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{n}{a}_{i}{b}_{i} \leq {\left( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{n}{a}_{i}^{p}\right) }^{1/p}{\left( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{n}{b}_{i}^{q}\right) }^{1/q}\]\n\nwhere \( \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = 1 \) and \( p > 1 \) .
Yes
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\[ y = \sin \left( {x}^{2}\right) \]
can be seen in Fig. 5.20.\n\nWe have constructed this graph using certain characteristic points for this function, the points where \( \sin \left( {x}^{2}\right) = - 1,\sin \left( {x}^{2}\right) = 0 \), or \( \sin \left( {x}^{2}\right) = 1 \) . Between two adjacent points of this type the function is monotonic. The for...

Let us construct the graph of the function\n\n\\[ y = x + \\arctan \\left( {{x}^{3} - 1}\\right) \\]

Example 26 Let \( \\left( {\\rho ,\\varphi }\\right) \) be polar coordinates in the plane and suppose a point is moving in the plane in such a way that\n\n\[ \n\\rho = \\rho \\left( t\\right) = 1 - {\\mathrm{e}}^{-t}\\cos \\frac{\\pi }{2}t \n\]\n\n\[ \n\\varphi = \\varphi \\left( t\\right) = 1 - {\\mathrm{e}}^{-t}\\sin...
In order to do this, we first draw the graphs of \( \\rho \\left( t\\right) \) and \( \\varphi \\left( t\\right) \) (Figs. 5.22a and 5.22b).\n\nThen, looking simultaneously at both of the graphs just constructed, we can describe the general form of the trajectory of the point (Fig. 5.22c).

Construct the graph of the function \( y = f\left( x\right) \) when\n\n\[ f\left( x\right) = \left| {x + 2}\right| {\mathrm{e}}^{-1/x}. \]
The function \( f\left( x\right) \) is defined for \( x \in \mathbb{R} \smallsetminus 0 \) . Since \( {\mathrm{e}}^{-1/x} \rightarrow 1 \) as \( x \rightarrow \infty \), it follows that\n\n\[ \left| {x + 2}\right| {\mathrm{e}}^{-1/x} \sim \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} - \left( {x + 2}\right) & \text{ as }x \rightarrow - \i...

Example 28 Let \( \\left( {x, y}\\right) \) be Cartesian coordinates in the plane and suppose a moving point has coordinates\n\n\[ \nx = \\frac{t}{1 - {t}^{2}},\\;y = \\frac{t - 2{t}^{3}}{1 - {t}^{2}}\n\]\n\nat time \( t\\left( {t \\geq 0}\\right) \) . Describe the trajectory of the point.
We begin by sketching the graphs of each of the two coordinate functions \( x = \) \( x\\left( t\\right) \) and \( y = y\\left( t\\right) \) (Figs. 5.24a and 5.24b).\n\nThe second of these graphs is somewhat more interesting than the first, and so we shall describe how to construct it.\n\nWe can see the behavior of the...

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 \( n \geq m > N \) .
It follows from the Cauchy criterion and the inequality\n\n\[ \left| {{z}_{m} + \cdots + {z}_{n}}\right| \leq \left| {z}_{m}\right| + \cdots + \left| {z}_{n}\right| \]\n\nthat if the series (5.110) converges absolutely, then it converges.
No
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 rearranging \( {}^{24} \) 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 \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = N + 1}}^{\infty }\left| {z}_{n}\right| < \varepsilon \) . We then find an index \( K \in \mathb...
Yes
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 su...

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 \[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{m + n = k}}\frac{1}{n!m!}{a}^{n}{b}^{m} = \frac{1}{k!}\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{k}\frac{k!}{n!\left( {k - n}\right) !}{a}^{n}{b}^{k - n} = \frac{1}{k!}{\left( a + b\right) }^{k}, \] and therefore we find that \[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n!}{a}^{n} \cdot \ma...

Example 11 See Fig. 5.27.
These correspondences follow from the equalities \( i = {\mathrm{e}}^{{i\pi }/2}, z = r{\mathrm{e}}^{i\varphi } \), and \( {iz} = \) \( r{\mathrm{e}}^{i\left( {r + \pi /2}\right) } \), that is, a rotation through angle \( \frac{\pi }{2} \) has occurred.

Example 14 See Fig. 5.30.
It is clear from Examples 12 and 13 that under this function the unit disk maps into itself, but is covered twice.

If \( z = r{\mathrm{e}}^{i\varphi } \), then by (5.128), we have \( {z}^{n} = {r}^{n}{\mathrm{e}}^{in\varphi } \), 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 happens, at the ver...
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 now ...

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, the...
Yes
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...

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...
