of Exercises 27 - 30 is to introduce you to the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix.9 We begin with an example using a 2 × 2 matrix and then guide you through some exercises using a 3 × 3 matrix.

Using the test points (0, 0) and (0, −4), we find points in the region above the line y = x − 2 satisfy the inequality. The points on the line y = x − 2 do not satisfy the inequality, since the y-intercept (0, −2) does not. We see that these two regions do overlap, and to make the graph more precise, we seek the inters...

By the Principle of Mathematical Induction, we have that P (n) is true for all natural numbers n. 2. We let P (n) be the formula (z)n ...
k > 100(k + 1) for k ≥ 6. Solving 300k > 100(k + 1) we get k > 1 2. Since k ≥ 6, we know this is true. Putting all of this together, we have 3k+1 = 3 · 3k > 3(100k) = 300k > 100(k + 1), and hence P (k + 1) is true. By induction, 3n > 100n for all n ≥ 6. 4. To prove this determinant property, we use induction on n, wher...
required. Hence, P (k + 1) is true in this case, which means the result is true in this case for all natural numbers n ≥ 1. (You’ll note that we did not use the induction hypothesis at all in this case. It is possible to restructure the proof so that induction is only used where 4See Exercise 54 in Section 3.4. 5See S...

of this argument, we assume x > 0. The base case P (1) amounts checking that log x1 = 1 log(x) which is clearly true. Next we assume P (k) is true, that is log xk = k log(x) and try to show P (k + 1) is true. Using the Product Rule for Logarithms along with the induction hypothesis, we get xk+1 log = log xk · x = log ...
+1)(k+1) = a11a22a33 · · · a(k+1)(k+1) We have det(A) is the product of the entries along its main diagonal. This shows P (k + 1) is true, and, hence, by induction, the result holds for all n × n upper triangular matrices. The n × n identity matrix In is a lower triangular matrix whose main diagonal consists of all 1’s...
and n! = n(n − 1)! for n ≥ 1. Using the recursive definition, we get: 1! = 1 · 0! = 1 · 1 = 1, 2! = 2 · 1! = 2 · 1 = 2, 3! = 3 · 2! = 3 · 2 · 1 = 6 and 4! = 4 · 3! = 4 · 3 · 2 · 1 = 24. Informally, n! = n · (n − 1) · (n − 2) · · · 2 · 1 with 0! = 1 as our ‘base case.’ Our first example familiarizes us with some of the b...
999 · 998! 998! · 2! = 999000 2 = 499500 (d) This problem continues the theme which we have seen in the previous two problems. We first note that since k + 2 is larger than k − 1, (k + 2)! contains all of the factors of (k − 1)! and as a result we can get the (k − 1)! to cancel from the denominator. To see this, we beg...
4.1, we proved that n! overtakes 3n at n = 7. ‘Overtakes’ may be too polite a word, since n! thoroughly trounces 3n for n ≥ 7, as any reasonable set of data will show. It can be shown that for any real number x > 0, not only does n! eventually overtake xn, but the ratio xn Applications of factorials in the wild often i...

fficients in the binomial expansion. Theorem 9.4. Binomial Theorem: For nonzero real numbers a and b, (a + b)n = an−jbj n j=0 n j for all natural numbers n. To get a feel of what this theorem is saying and how it really isn’t as hard to remember as it may first appear, let’s consider the specific case of n = 4. According t...
ical Induction.4 To prove the Binomial Theorem, we let P (n) be the expansion formula given in the statement of the theorem and we note that P (1) is true since (a + b)1 a + b? =? = 1 a1−jbj 1 j j=0 1 0 a1−0b0 + a1−1b1 1 1 a + b = a + b Now we assume that P (k) is true.

k j ak−jbj+1 + bk+1 We now wish to write ak+1−jbj + k j=1 k j k−1 j=0 k j ak−jbj+1 as a single summation. The wrinkle is that the first summation starts with j = 1, while the second starts with j = 0. Even though the sums produce terms with the same powers of a and b, they do so for different values of j. To resolve thi...

excursion into this realm comes by way of circular motion. Suppose an object is moving as pictured below along a circular path of radius r from the point P to the point Q in an amount of time t. Q θ r s P Here s represents a displacement so that s > 0 means the object is traveling in a counter-clockwise direction and ...
ω is called the ‘angular velocity’ and is the instantaneous rate of change of the angle with respect to time. If the path of the object were ‘uncurled’ from a circle to form a line segment, then the velocity of the object on that line segment would be the same as the velocity on the circle. For this reason, the quanti...
