What is the Second mean value theorem for integral?
After reading the [post](https://math.stackexchange.com/q/2076791/732917) with the result $$\int_0^{\frac\pi2} {\sin^2{x} \ln{(\tan x)} \,dx}=\frac{\pi}{4}$$ I was attracted by its decency and wanted to generalise it as $$ I_n=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin ^{2 n} x \ln (\tan x) d x \stackrel{x\mapsto\frac \pi 2- x}{...

I was wondering, if you have $f:A \rightarrow B$ a mapping onto sets, is there appropriate terminology for when, for a subset $C \subseteq A$, you have $g:C \rightarrow D$ that verifies $\forall e \in C$, $g(e) \subseteq f(e)$. If so, is there a proper notation for this?
The answer is no, and we give some counter-examples below: two in $2$ and one in $3$ and more dimensions. The latter example also appears in a slightly different form in [these old lecture notes of M. Wolf][1] (Example 8.1). However, in my opinion, this specific result is rather difficult to find if you're not already ...

I encountered an interesting problem in “Practical Methods of Optimization” by R.

I came across this summation while solving harmonic chain. \begin{align} \sum_{l=1}^N \sin^2{(\frac{m\pi}{N+1}\cdot l)} \end{align} for an integer m that can range from 1 to N. So the question is if the value of the summation changes with m? I checked for until N=5. And it remains the same for all integer...
Are these 2 equations equivalent? If so how can I prove it, if not how can I disprove it? $CI(t)=\prod_{t_i<t}(d_i/n_i)$ $CI(t)=1-\prod_{t_i<t}(1-(d_i/n_i))$
Is $\prod_{i\in I}x_i$ equal to $1-\prod_{i\in I}(1-x_i)$?

`Determine the number of 6-combinations of multiset s = {3·a, 4·b, 5·c}` I can solve this problem by inclusion-exclusion principle, but is there any more clever way to solve it? (e.g. By solving the 12-permutations first...anyway) Learning "Introductory Combinatorics".
The map $\mathbb{Z}\hookrightarrow \mathbb{Z}[i]$ induces an isomorphism of fields $$\mathbb{Z}/173 \simeq\mathbb{Z}[i]/(13+2i)$$ So we could work with representatives in $\mathbb{Z}$, which is sometime easier.

The simplest formulation of the Lebesgue Differentiation Theorem (LDT) (that I am aware of) is the following: **LDT (Simplest formulation).** Given a function $f \in L^1_{\text{loc}}(\mathbb R^n)$, we have that $$ \lim_{r \to 0} \frac{1}{|B(x,r)|} \int_{B(x,r)} f(y) \, dy = f(x), $$ for almost every $x \in \m...

There are two ways that a function can fail to achieve a maximum: 1. It can increase to $\infty$ 2. It can approach the maximum, without quite reaching it, as $1-\frac1x$ increases toward $1$ without getting there Since the function you are looking for is bounded, (1) is ruled out. It must be (2). Similarly, ...

Zero is a singular value of $A$ iff there exists $u\neq 0\in\mathbb{R}^N$ such that $ A^TAu = 0$. However, $$ A^TAu=0\implies u^TA^TAu = \|Au\|_2^2=0\implies Au=0, $$ so $u$ is an eigenvector of $A$ corresponding to $\lambda=0$. This trick can be used in the other direction to show that $\lambda=0 \iff \sigma=0$. ...

The contruction was used in two different sources on the web: [a Geogebra resource][1] and [a video using inRm3D][2] so I think it must be documented and proved somewhere, but I didn't find any. Here is the construction (following the second source): 1. On the xy-plane, draw a conic symmetric about $y$-axis. (Igno...
How to prove that $\frac{2^{\sqrt{n}}}{n!}\left(\frac{n}{e}\right)^n$ diverges as $n \rightarrow \infty$?
I started reading spivak, just today, and on page 6 of the prologue. He states that it is not possible to prove that 1≠0 for the real numbers, with the basic properties of the ring. But I got the following argument: Assuming that $1=0$, it follows that $a(1)=a(0)$ for all $a \in{R}$, where $a(1)=a$ and $a(0)=0$, ...
This proof is valid for 1≠0 in real numbers (set/field)?
I have doubts for what concerns the end of this exercise. I have the function $f(x, y, z) = x$ and I have to find min and max subject to the constraints $x^2+y^2+z^2 = \frac{5}{2}$ and $y + z = 1$. I calculated the Jacobian matrix of the constraints and I found it has maximum rank of $2$, unless $x = y = z = 0$ thou...

Find the number of sequences $(a_1,\cdots,a_{100})$ where all $a_i$'s are even numbers which forms $0\leq a_1 \leq \cdots \leq a_{100} \leq 200$. I know that the number of strictly incremental sequences of length $K$ with elements from $\{1, 2,\cdots,N\}$ is ${N}\choose{K}$. However, here the sequence is not strictl...
