# Prove by Induction.
1. Jan 29, 2008
### PFStudent
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
1.1.2
Write,
$${\frac{1}{1\cdot2}} + {\frac{1}{2\cdot3}} + {\frac{1}{3\cdot4}} + . . . + {\frac{1}{99\cdot100}}$$
as a fraction in lowest terms.
3. The attempt at a solution
Rewriting the problem as a summation,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{1}{1\cdot2}} + {\frac{1}{2\cdot3}} + {\frac{1}{3\cdot4}} + . . . + {\frac{1}{n\cdot(n+1)}}$$
Then considering the first few terms,
$${\frac{1}{1\cdot2}} = \frac{1}{2}$$
$${\frac{1}{1\cdot2}} + {\frac{1}{2\cdot3}} = \frac{2}{3}$$
$${\frac{1}{1\cdot2}} + {\frac{1}{2\cdot3}} + {\frac{1}{3\cdot4}} = \frac{3}{4}$$
This leads to the conjecture that,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{n}{n+1}}$$
How would I prove the above by induction?

Assume the statement is true for n=N, then prove true for n=N+1
EDIT:
$$\sum_{i=1} ^{n} \frac{1}{i(i+1)}=\frac{n}{n+1}$$

### jdavel
the last term in your sum (where i = n) is going to be 1/n(n+1). if you take the sum one further (to i = n+1) what will the last term be now?

### PFStudent
Hey,
Thanks for the reply rock.freak667 and jdavel.
Assume,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{n}{n+1}}$$
is true for k. That is,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{k}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{k}{k+1}}$$
Then to prove it is true for k+1, consider the following,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{k+1}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {{\sum_{i = 1}^{k}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} + {\frac{1}{k+1((k+1)+1)}}$$
Which reduces to,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{k+1}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{k}{k+1}} + {\frac{1}{{k^2}+3k+1)}}$$
However, how do I know the above is true?
In other words how do I know if the proof by induction actually proved it?
Thanks,

Well you basically want to get
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{(k+1)}{(k+1)+1}}$$
basically the sum is the same but instead of "n" put k+1

### jdavel
you're missing a pair of parenetheses in your 3rd equation that's leading to an error in the last term of your 4th equation. what should that last term be?

### PFStudent
Hey,
Consider the following,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{n}{n+1}}$$
Assume it is true for k,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{k}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{k}{k+1}}$$
Now, if it is true for k+1 the result expected is,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{k+1}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{k+1}{(k+1)+1}}$$
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{k+1}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{k+1}{k+2}}$$
Then to prove that, consider the following,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{k+1}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {{\sum_{i = 1}^{k}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} + {\frac{1}{(k+1)((k+1)+1)}}$$
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{k+1}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\left({\frac{k}{k+1}}\right)} + {\frac{1}{(k+1)(k+2)}}$$
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{k+1}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {{\frac{k(k+2)}{(k+1)(k+2)}}} + {\frac{1}{(k+1)(k+2)}}$$
Which reduces to,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{k+1}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{(k+1)(k+1)}{(k+1)(k+2)}}$$
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{k+1}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{k+1}{k+2}}$$
Proof.

Were you required to use induction?
Since
$$\frac{1}{n(n+1)}= \frac{1}{n}- \frac{1}{n+1}$$
that is a "telescoping" series and the sum is immediate.

### PFStudent
Hey,
Could I have proved,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\frac{n}{n+1}}$$
by showing that it is a telescoping series? If so, how?
Thanks,

$$\sum_{i=1}^{100} \frac{1}{i(i+1}= \frac{1}{1\cdot2}} + {\frac{1}{2\cdot3}} + {\frac{1}{3\cdot4}} + . . . + {\frac{1}{99\cdot100}$$
$$= (\frac{1}{1}- \frac{1}{2})+ (\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3})+ (\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4})+ \cdot\cdot\cdot+ (\frac{1}{99}- \frac{1}{100})$$
The last fraction in each pair cancels the first fraction in the next pair (except of course in the last pair). Every fraction except the first and last cancel so the sum is
$$\frac{1}{1}- \frac{1}{100}= \frac{100-1}{100}= \frac{99}{100}$$
More generally,
$$\sum_{i= 1}^n \frac{1}{i(i+1)}= \frac{1}{1}- \frac{1}{n+1}= \frac{n+1-1}{n+1}= \frac{n}{n+1}$$

### PFStudent
Hey,
Thanks HallsofIvy for showing how it could have been proved by showing it was a telescoping sum.
However, how would you know that the individual sums can be rewritten as the sum or difference of two fractions. In other words, how did you figure out the following,
$$\sum_{i=1}^{100} \frac{1}{i(i+1}= \frac{1}{1\cdot2}} + {\frac{1}{2\cdot3}} + {\frac{1}{3\cdot4}} + . . . + {\frac{1}{99\cdot100} = \left(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}\right)+ \left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}\right) + \cdot\cdot\cdot + \left(\frac{1}{99}- \frac{1}{100}\right)$$
That is, how did you figure out that,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\left({{\frac{A_{1}}{1}}-{\frac{B_{1}}{2}}}\right)} + {\left({{\frac{A_{2}}{2}}-{\frac{B_{2}}{3}}}\right)} +. . . + {\left({{\frac{A_{n}}{n}}-{\frac{B_{n}}{n+1}}}\right)}$$
Additionally, is finding the above the same as using the technique of partial fractions?
Also, what is the general way of finding $$A$$ and $$C$$ for the following (where: $$B, D, E, and{{.}}F$$; are all given),
$${\frac{E}{F}} = {{{\frac{A}{B}}\pm{\frac{C}{D}}}}$$
Where it can be shown that,
$${E} = {AD \pm BC}$$
$${F} = {BD}$$
Which is the same as,
$${\frac{E}{F}} = {\frac{AD \pm BC}{BD}}$$

Hey,
I was looking over this and realized that the following,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\left({{\frac{A_{1}}{1}}-{\frac{B_{1}}{2}}}\right)} + {\left({{\frac{A_{2}}{2}}-{\frac{B_{2}}{3}}}\right)} +. . . + {\left({{\frac{A_{n}}{n}}-{\frac{B_{n}}{n+1}}}\right)}$$
Was better written as,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\left({{\frac{C_{1}}{1}}-{\frac{C_{2}}{2}}}\right)} + {\left({{\frac{C_{2}}{2}}-{\frac{C_{3}}{3}}}\right)} + {\cdot} {\cdot} {\cdot} + {\left({{\frac{C_{n-1}}{n-1}}-{\frac{C_{n}}{n}}}\right)} + {\left({{\frac{C_{n}}{n}}-{\frac{C_{n+1}}{n+1}}}\right)}$$
But, I'm still having some trouble figuring how would one decipher what the constants "C" must be.

$$\sum_{n=1} ^{N} \frac{1}{n(n+1)} \equiv \sum_{n=1} ^{N} (\frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{n+1})$$
Use partial fractions on 1/n(n+1)
$$\sum_{n=1} ^{N} \frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{n+1}$$
then input n=1,2,3,...,N-2,N-1,N. then add them all up.
14. Feb 6, 2008
### PFStudent
Hey,
I see that however, how would you have figured out what the constants for the partial fractions of,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}}$$
would be?
In other words, how would you have solved the following,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\left({{\frac{C_{1}}{1}}-{\frac{C_{2}}{2}}}\right)} + {\left({{\frac{C_{2}}{2}}-{\frac{C_{3}}{3}}}\right)} + {\cdot} {\cdot} {\cdot} + {\left({{\frac{C_{n-1}}{n-1}}-{\frac{C_{n}}{n}}}\right)} + {\left({{\frac{C_{n}}{n}}-{\frac{C_{n+1}}{n+1}}}\right)}$$
for: $$C_{1}, C_{2}, C_{3},..., C_{n-1}, C_{n}$$?
That is where I am stuck.

Hey,
Thanks for the reply, rock.freak667. Your right I did not need to prove that it is a telescoping sum.
However, I still would like to know how would one have realized that,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}}$$
is a telescoping sum?
Further after the above realization one would have had to solve for the constants: $$C_{1}, C_{2}, C_{3},..., C_{n-1}, C_{n}$$; for the following,
$${{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}}{\frac{1}{i(i+1)}}} = {\left({{\frac{C_{1}}{1}}-{\frac{C_{2}}{2}}}\right)} + {\left({{\frac{C_{2}}{2}}-{\frac{C_{3}}{3}}}\right)} + {\cdot} {\cdot} {\cdot} + {\left({{\frac{C_{n-1}}{n-1}}-{\frac{C_{n}}{n}}}\right)} + {\left({{\frac{C_{n}}{n}}-{\frac{C_{n+1}}{n+1}}}\right)}$$
And that is, what I wanted to know. How do you do that?

Showing $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(1+2i) \oplus\mathbb{Z}[i]/(6-i)\cong\mathbb{Z}[i]/(8+11i)$
I am attempting to solve Ch 14 Problem 7.7 from Artin's algebra book.
Let $R=\mathbb{Z}[i]$ and let $V$ be the R-module generated by elements $v_1$ and $v_2$ with relations $(1+i)v_1+(2-i)v_2=0$ and $3v_1+5iv_2=0$. Write this module as a direct sum of cyclic modules.
Attempt
I have obtained $V\cong R^2/ \begin{bmatrix} 1+i & 3 \\ 2-i & 5i \end{bmatrix} R^2 \cong R/[8+11i]R=\mathbb{Z}[i]/(8+11i)$.
Now, I see that $(1+2i)(6-i)=8+11i.$ Now, I would like to show that $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(1+2i) \oplus\mathbb{Z}[i]/(6-i)\cong\mathbb{Z}[i]/(8+11i)$, so I can have $V$ as a direct sum of cyclic modules as needed, but how can I show this?
I have already shown that $(1+2i,6-i)=(1)=\mathbb{Z}[i]$ and thus $(1+2i)+(6-i)=\mathbb{Z}[i]$. Intuition would suggest that $(1+2i)\oplus(6-i)=\mathbb{Z}[i]$, although I think this is false since $(i-6)(1+2i)+(1+2i)(6-i)=0$.
I must confess that I am very new to module theory so please be patient with me. I don't even how it would be possible to have $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(1+2i) \oplus\mathbb{Z}[i]/(6-i)\cong\mathbb{Z}[i]/(8+11i)$ since $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(1+2i)$and $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(6-i)$ aren't even submodules of the same set. | {

• $1+2i$ and $6-i$ are coprime elements of the Euclidean domain $\Bbb{Z}[i]$. Their product is $8+11i$ then also their "least common multiple". So this is just another instance of the Chinese Remainder Theorem. Compare with isomorphisms of $\Bbb{Z}$-modules $$\Bbb{Z}_2\oplus\Bbb{Z}_3\simeq\Bbb{Z}_6, \quad\Bbb{Z}_3\oplus\Bbb{Z}_5\simeq\Bbb{Z}_{15}$$ et cetera. Mar 29 '18 at 18:54
• In other words the mapping $$a+bi+(8+11i)\mapsto (a+bi+(1+2i),a+bi+(6-i))$$ is an isomorphism. Mar 29 '18 at 18:55
• Thank you. If I can show that that mapping is an isomorphism, this will show $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(8+11i) \cong\mathbb{Z}[i]/(1+2i) \times \mathbb{Z}[i]/(6-i)$. However, I am not trying to show $\times$, but $\oplus$. Mar 29 '18 at 19:00
• Aren't those the same thing? At least up to isomorphism (assuming you use one for inner direct sum and the other for outer). Mar 29 '18 at 19:24
• For an answer following the method described in the problem statement: compute the Smith normal form of the relations matrix. Some relevant posts: 1, 2, 3. Mar 30 '18 at 4:36 | {

In addition to everything said in the comments, I just wanted to remark one more thing that might be helpful concerning your last paragraph about the fact that $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(1+2i)$ and $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(6-i)$ are not submodules of some common module.
As was stated in the comments, the product of rings obtained from the chinese remainder theorem is in particular a product of modules, i.e. a direct sum, so this works perfectly fine. The point I wanted to add: If you want, you might still view both factors as submodules of $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(8+11i)$ by the following observation:
Consider a direct product of rings (commutative with $1$), $R=R_1\times R_2$. Then you might view any $R$-module $M$ as a direct sum of submodules $M_1,M_2\subset M$, where $M_i$ is a $R_i$-module (so in particular again a $R$-module) for $i=1,2$, namely set $M_1:=(1,0)\cdot M\subset M$ and $M_2:=(0,1)\cdot M\subset M$, then $$M=M_1\oplus M_2$$ as $R$-module. (By the way, the inverse procedure works as well, if $\tilde M_1$ and $\tilde M_2$ are $R_1$- resp. $R_2$-modules, then they in particular are both $R$-modules, via $(r_1,r_2)\cdot m_1:=r_1m_1$ for $m_1\in \tilde M_1$ and $(r_1,r_2)\cdot m_2:=r_2m_2$ for $m_2\in\tilde M_2$ and so one may build the $R$-module $\tilde M=\tilde M_1\oplus\tilde M_2$. This is also described in this question/answer.) | {

Applied to your situation: As you already proved $$R:=\mathbb{Z}[i]/(8+11i)\simeq \underset{=:R_1}{\underbrace{\mathbb{Z}[i]/(1+2i)}}\times\underset{=:R_2}{\underbrace{\mathbb{Z}[i]/(6-i)}},$$ we would now like to find elements $e_1,e_2\in R$ such that $e_1$ corresponds to $(1,0)\in R_1\times R_2$ and $e_2$ corresponds to $(0,1)$. To find those, we use the Euclidean algorithm to get $$1=\underset{=:e_2}{\underbrace{(1-3i)(1+2i)}}+\underset{=:e_1}{\underbrace{(-1)(6-i)}}.$$ So we might write $R$ as the direct sum of $R$-submodules $$R=e_1R\oplus e_2R=(7-i)R\oplus (i-6)R.$$ (Naturally, as a $R$-module this is of course isomorphic to the former version $R=R_1\oplus R_2$, as $e_i\cdot(\bullet)\colon R_i\rightarrow e_iR$ is an isomorphism of $R$-modules, $i=1,2$ - I just thought this slightly different point of view might possibly help to get more comfortable with the situation...) | {

# How can I prove that $2^{n+2}\mid(2n+3)!$?
I'm not sure where to proceed or how to go about proving this assertion holds for all natural numbers n: $$2^{n+2} \mid(2n + 3)!$$
The base case is $n=1$, where $2^{1+2}\mid(2\cdot 1+3)!$ which simplifies to $8 \mid 120$, and 8 does indeed divide 120.
Again, we shall assume the statement is true for $n = k$. $$2^{k+2}\mid(2k+3)!$$ Then we shall prove that the statement must be true for n = k + 1: $$2^{k+3}\mid (2(k+1)+3)!=(2k+5)!$$
Sorry for the poor formatting, this is the first time I've posted here. I'm not sure if I've started off on the right path, or where to go next. Any suggestions would be lovely!

There are $n+1$ even numbers in $1,\cdots,2n+3$ and one of them is $4$ (given $n\ge1$).
• So because the divisor has 2 to the power of whatever, it will always divide whatever the quotient is due to it having a 4 in the factorial? Is this the correct way to interpret your response? – knames Jul 3 '14 at 0:09
• @knames You use the phrases "the divisor" and "whatever" and "it" and "the quotient" but I don't know what you're referring to with these phrases. Please be clear and specific. – blue Jul 3 '14 at 0:10
• the divisor being 2^(n+2) and the quotient being (2n+3)!. The left part before | will always divide the right part after | because the right part has a 4 in the factorial? – knames Jul 3 '14 at 0:12
• @knames The word "quotient" refers to what you get after you've divided, it doesn't refer to the thing you're dividing. Just because something is divisible by $4$ does not mean it is divisible by $2^{n+2}$; that's where the total of $n+1$ even numbers comes in. Try thinking some more about my hint. – blue Jul 3 '14 at 0:14
• This is as explicit as I can make it: $$(2n+3)!=1\cdot2\cdot3\cdots(2n+3)=(\underbrace{2\cdot\color{Red}4\cdots2n+2}_{n+1~\rm numbers})(1\cdot3\cdots2n+3)$$ $$=2^{n+1}(1\cdot\color{Red}2\cdot3\cdots n+1)(1\cdot3\cdots 2n+3)=2^{n+2}(3\cdots n+1)(1\cdot3\cdots 2n+3).$$ Honestly, I thought my hint was pretty clear and straightforward, and this level of explication was totally unnecessary. – blue Jul 3 '14 at 0:41
$(2k+5)!=(2k+5)(2k+4)(2k+3)!=(2k+5)(2k+4)2^{k+2}\cdot c$ where the last equality is due to $2^{k+2}\mid (2k+3)!$ which you assume.
Hence, $(2k+5)!=(2k+5)(k+2)(2)(2^{k+2})$. Finish it :)
We have $(2k+5)!=(2k+3)!(2k+4)(2k+5)$. Since by the induction hypothesis, $2^{k+2}$ divides $(2k+3)!$, and since $2$ divides $2k+4$, we conclude that $2^{k+3}$ divides $(2k+5)!$.

• I'm new to number-theory, could you elaborate on what you meant by "In writing up a proof, never try to travel from what you want to show to something "known."" – knames Jul 2 '14 at 23:56
• @knames Sometimes you start from the fact that you're trying to prove and manipulate things until you've arrived at an already established fact. This is how it goes in any kind of math, number theory or no. You might even try burning both ends of the stick and meeting somewhere in the middle. At the end, though, when you actually go to write down your proof, you need to start at something known and end up at the desired claim, in that order. – blue Jul 3 '14 at 0:00
• In high school, people pick up the very bad habit of writing down what they want to be true, and then manipulating until they get something true, like $x=x$. This is logically wrong, unless one shows that every step that got us from what we want to $x=x$ is reversible. If one showed reversibility (which one often cannot show), it would be OK. But people who go from the desired to something known often lose control over the logic of the argument, and end up writing a confused circular non-proof. I am not saying you shouldn't fool around informally with the "desired." – André Nicolas Jul 3 '14 at 0:01
• But ultimately the written up argument must go "the right way" so that its validity is clear. – André Nicolas Jul 3 '14 at 0:02
• @blue, @ André Nicolas Thank you, this makes sense to me now! – knames Jul 3 '14 at 0:03
Start with $2k+2∣(2k+3)!$. This means there exists a $b \in\mathbb{N}$ such that $(2k+3)! = b2^{k+2}$.
\begin{align*} (2k+3)! = b2^{k+2} & \Rightarrow (2k+3)!(2k+4)(2k+5) = b2^{k+2}(2k+4)(2k+5)& \\ & \Leftrightarrow (2k+5)! = b2^{k+2}2(k+2)(2k+5) \\ & \Leftrightarrow (2k+5)! = (b(k+2)(2k+5))2^{k+3} \\ & \Rightarrow 2^{k+3} | (2k+5)! \\ & \Leftrightarrow 2^{(k+1)+2} | (2(k+1)+3)! \end{align*} | {

• Just a quick question, what is the significance of including the last line? Why break down the exponent and everything to the right of the "|"? – knames Jul 3 '14 at 1:25
• It makes the induction pedantically clear. This expression is a straight substitution of $(k+1)$ for $k$ in the equation we're trying to prove. – NovaDenizen Jul 3 '14 at 1:42
## Theory
The number of factors of the prime number, p, that divide into n! is $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \left \lfloor \dfrac{n}{p^i} \right \rfloor$
As formidable as this equation may look, it's not really that bad.
First of all, once $\left \lfloor \dfrac{n}{p^i} \right \rfloor$ becomes $0$, all of the terms after that are also $0$. So it's really a finite sum.
Second, it can be shown that $$\left \lfloor \dfrac{n}{p^{i+1}} \right \rfloor = \left \lfloor \dfrac{\left \lfloor \dfrac{n}{p^i} \right \rfloor}{p} \right \rfloor$$
So, knowing the value of $\left \lfloor \dfrac{n}{p^i} \right \rfloor$ makes it easier to compute $\left \lfloor \dfrac{n}{p^{i+1}} \right \rfloor$.
## Application
We make the following computations.
• $\left \lfloor \dfrac{2n+3}{2} \right \rfloor = n+1$
• $\left \lfloor \dfrac{n+1}{2} \right \rfloor \ge 1 \quad (\forall n \ge 1)$
It follows that the highest power of 2 that divides into $(2n+3)!$ is greater than or equal to $(n+1) + 1 = n+2$. In other words, $2^{n+2} | (2n+3)!$ | {

# I Uniform circular motion -- How can radial acceleration have a calculated value?
1. Jul 10, 2017
### Gurasees
In uniform circular motion, direction of particle is changing at every moment but its speed remains the same. If the magnitude of velocity or speed remains the same, change in magnitude of velocity is zero. Then how come radial acceleration can have a calculated value since acceleration = change in magnitude of velocity/ change in time. Yes, the object has an acceleration due to change in direction but how can we possibly obtain a value?
2. Jul 10, 2017
### scottdave
This video may shed some insight for you. I was helpful for me, explaining derivatives of vectors.
3. Jul 10, 2017
### A.T.
Where did you get that defintion of acceleration from?
4. Jul 10, 2017
### Staff: Mentor
Acceleration is defined as the change in the velocity divided by the change in time, of: $\vec a = \frac{dV}{dt}$
Since velocity is changing, this requires that there be an acceleration. Note that acceleration is not defined as the change in the magnitude of the velocity, but simply the change in the velocity.
You can find a simple calculus derivation here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force#Calculus_derivation
5. Jul 10, 2017
### scottdave
Yes. Note that acceleration is a vector quantity and is often in a different direction than velocity. In the case of uniform circular motion, it is always at 90° to the velocity direction (towards center of the circle). I think the video does a nice job of explaining this.
6. Jul 11, 2017
### Gurasees
Actually yeah definition that i wrote for acceleration is wrong. Here acceleration is associated with change in direction. But what i am asking is how can we obtain a numerical value of acceleration if there is no change in numerical value of velocity?
7. Jul 11, 2017

8. Jul 11, 2017
A vector is a "numerical" value. Just not a scalar. Speed is a Scalar, Velocity is a vector. Since the Force (vector) and the Velocity of the particle are always at 90 degrees - no work is done, but there is action/reaction.
F=ma where F and a are vectors is critical to proper analysis,
MANY- heck if not all, cases involving normal vectors are counter-intuitive, and are worth special attention. If you master the vector math behind the precession of a gyroscope, for example - you will know more physics than 99.9% of the population.
It may seem like a simple concept - but complete comprehension is very valuable.
9. Jul 11, 2017
### Staff: Mentor
The numerical value of the velocity's vector components is continuously changing. This is true in both Cartesian and polar/spherical coordinates.
10. Jul 11, 2017
### vanhees71
Instead of unclear words formulae can only help the understanding ;-)).
Take the example of a particle running around on a circle of radius $R$ around the origin in the $xy$ plane with constant angular velocity $\omega$. The position vector is given by
$$\vec{x}(t)=R \begin{pmatrix} \cos(\omega t) \\ \sin(\omega t) \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}.$$
The velocity is
$$\vec{v}=\dot{\vec{x}} = R \omega \begin{pmatrix} -\sin(\omega t) \\ \cos (\omega t) \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}$$
and the acceleration
$$\vec{a}=\dot{\vec{v}}=R \omega^2 \begin{pmatrix} -\cos(\omega t) \\ -\sin(\omega t) \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}=-\omega^2 \vec{x},$$
i.e., the acceleration is radially towards the center with the magnitude $a=|\vec{a}|=\omega^2 R$. To keep the particle on the circle you need the corresponding force, called the centripetal force, $\vec{F}=m \vec{a}=-m \omega^2 \vec{x}$.

To clarify: both velocity and acceleration are vectors, so this should be written as $$\vec a = \frac {d \vec v}{dt}$$ or, component by component: $$a_x = \frac{dv_x}{dt} \\ a_y = \frac{dv_y}{dt} \\ a_z = \frac{dv_z}{dt}$$ or, in the matrix notation that vanhees71 used: $$\vec a = \begin{pmatrix} a_x \\ a_y \\ a_z \end{pmatrix} = \frac {d}{dt} \begin{pmatrix} v_x \\ v_y \\ v_z \end{pmatrix}$$
12. Jul 29, 2017
### Arjan82
Without formula's: acceleration in one direction is independent of the acceleration in any other direction (as long as the directions are normal to each other). Thus if you look at your object, it's velocity in horizontal direction does change all the time, and therefore it has an acceleration in horizontal direction. This is also independently true for the vertical direction.
13. Aug 1, 2017
### CWatters
Why should it be a problem to calculate a numerical value of acceleration in such a case?
Lets say you have a ball going North at 3m/s and later it's found to be going South at 3m/s. The numerical value of the velocity (aka speed) hasn't changed, only the direction has changed. To calculate the acceleration you first need to calculate the change in velocity which in this case is 6m/s South. | {

# Does the series $\sum 2^n \sin(\frac{\pi}{3^n})$ converge?
Check if $$\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}2^n \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3^n}\right)$$ converges.
I tried to solve this by using the ratio test - I have ended up with the following limit to evaluate: $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n} \right)}{\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3^n} \right)} \right)$$ And now - I am stuck and don't know how to proceed with this limit. Any hints?
• Use the fact that $\sin(x) \leq x$ – TheOscillator Jan 21 '18 at 22:00
• L'Hospital's rule will help you with the limit you pose, but you can show convergence directly as Olivier outlines. – Malcolm Jan 21 '18 at 22:01
• @Malcolm This is a sequence, not a function. A sequence is not differentiable. – Aemilius Jan 21 '18 at 22:01
• If $\lim_{x \to \infty} \left(\frac{2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^x} \right)}{\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3^x} \right)} \right)$ exists (which it does) then $\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n} \right)}{\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3^n} \right)} \right)$ also exists and equals the same value. – Malcolm Jan 21 '18 at 22:05
Hint. One has $$\left|\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3^n}\right)\right|\le\frac{\pi}{3^n},\quad n=1,2,\cdots.$$ Can you take it from here?
• Your observation implies that this limit in question - say, L: $$0 \le L \le 2/3$$ and so this series does converge? – Aemilius Jan 21 '18 at 22:04
• You then have $$\left|\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}2^n \sin \frac{\pi}{3^n} \right| \le \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}\left|2^n \sin \frac{\pi}{3^n} \right| \le \pi \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}\frac{2^n}{3^n}<\infty$$ and the given series is absolutely convergent then it is convergent. – Olivier Oloa Jan 21 '18 at 22:07
Note that
$$2^n \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3^n}\right) \sim \pi\frac{2^n}{3^n}$$
then use comparison test with $$\sum \frac{2^n}{3^n}$$ | {

then use comparison test with $$\sum \frac{2^n}{3^n}$$
If you want to stick with your approach using the ratio test, you can (although Olivier's answer is more direct). Caveat: I'll detail every step of the derivation, which is not actually necessary for a proof.
We will only rely on elementary arguments, specifically the fact that $\sin'(0)=\cos 0 = 1$ — which is equivalent to $$\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1 \,.\tag{1}$$ From there, you can write $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n} \right)}{\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3^n} \right)} = \lim_{n \to \infty} 2\cdot \frac{1}{3}\cdot \frac{\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n} \right)}{\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n}}\cdot\frac{\frac{\pi}{3^n}}{\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3^n} \right)} = \frac{2}{3}\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n} \right)}{\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n}}\cdot\left(\frac{\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3^n} \right)}{\frac{\pi}{3^n}}\right)^{-1} \tag{2}$$ and, by (1), we get \begin{align*} \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n} \right)}{\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3^n} \right)} &= \frac{2}{3}\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n} \right)}{\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n}}\cdot \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3^n} \right)}{\frac{\pi}{3^n}}\right)^{-1} =\frac{2}{3}\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n} \right)}{\frac{\pi}{3 \cdot 3^n}}\cdot \left(\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3^n} \right)}{\frac{\pi}{3^n}}\right)^{-1} \\ &= \frac{2}{3}\cdot 1\cdot 1^{-1} = \boxed{\frac{2}{3}} \end{align*} and you can conclude with the ratio test.
Same idea as Olivier express in a different way, you know that $$\sin\left(x\right)\underset{(0)}{=}x+o\left(x\right)$$ Hence
$$2^n\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3^n}\right) \underset{(+\infty)}{\sim}\pi \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^n$$
What can you say about $\displaystyle \sum_{n \geq 0}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^n$ ? | {

Why doesn't the quadratic equation contain $2|a|$ in the denominator?
When deriving the quadratic equation as shown in the Wikipedia article about the quadratic equation (current revision) the main proof contains the step: $$\left(x+{\frac {b}{2a}}\right)^{2}={\frac {b^{2}-4ac}{4a^{2}}}$$ the square root is taken from both sides, so why is $$\sqrt{4a^2} = 2a$$ in the denominator and not $$\sqrt{4a^2} = 2\left |a \right |$$ Could somebody explain this to me? Thank you very much
migrated from mathoverflow.netJun 25 '18 at 17:26
This question came from our site for professional mathematicians.
One could take the square root as $2|a|$ instead, which would lead to:
$$x+\frac {b}{2a} = \pm{\frac {\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2|a|}} \quad\iff\quad x = -\frac {b}{2a} \pm {\frac {\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2|a|}} \tag{1}$$
However, given that $\,|a|\,$ is either $\,a\,$ or $\,-a\,$ it follows that $\,\pm|a|=\pm a\,$, so the formula simplifies to:
$$x = -\frac {b}{2a} \pm {\frac {\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2|a|}} = -\frac {b}{2a} \pm {\frac {\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{\color{red}{2a}}} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a} \tag{2}$$
$(1)\,$ and $\,(2)\,$ are entirely equivalent, but $\,(2)\,$ is more convenient to use.
When taking the square root we put a $\pm$ on the right hand side to account for the two roots, so it is unnecessary to strip off the sign of $a$, as we will put it back anyways.
The two square roots of $a^2$ are $a$ and $-a$, sometimes written together as $\pm a$.
For real numbers $\pm a$ is equivalent to $\pm |a|$ but this is not true for complex numbers. So putting the absolute value operation in would make the proof less general.
We could write the proof as
$$\left(x+{\frac {b}{2a}}\right)^{2}={\frac {b^{2}-4ac}{4a^{2}}}$$
$$\pm\left(x+{\frac {b}{2a}}\right)={\frac {\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{\pm2a}}$$
$$x+{\frac {b}{2a}}={\frac {\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}}$$ | {

$$x+{\frac {b}{2a}}={\frac {\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}}$$
But generally it is considered sufficient to put in just a single $\pm$ from the start rather than putting in one for each square root and then removing the redundant ones.
If you put $x =\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ into $ax^2+bx+c$, since $x^2 =\dfrac{b^2\mp2b\sqrt{b^2-4ac}+(b^2-4ac)}{4a^2} =\dfrac{2b^2-4ac\mp2b\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{4a^2}$ you get
$\begin{array}\\ ax^2+bx+c &a\dfrac{2b^2-4ac\mp2b\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{4a^2} +b\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}+c\\ &=\dfrac{2b^2-4ac\mp2b\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{4a} +\dfrac{-2b^2\pm 2b\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{4a}+c\\ &=\dfrac{2b^2-4ac\mp2b\sqrt{b^2-4ac}-2b^2\pm 2b\sqrt{b^2-4ac}+4ac}{4a}\\ &=0\\ \end{array}$
If you use $|a|$, it won't work since you can't combine the terms.
• The OP is only putting the absolute value when taking the square root, not putting it on $-b/2a$. This is correct, but unnecessary, see dxiv's answer. – Fan Zheng Jun 25 '18 at 18:29
my preference for remembering and using the quadratic formula (and electrical engineers seem to do that often) is to remember the root quadratic equations as:
$$x^2 \ + \ b\,x \ + \ c \ = \ 0$$
which has solution:
$$x \ = \ \begin{cases} -\tfrac{b}{2} \pm \sqrt{\left(\tfrac{b}{2}\right)^2 - c} \qquad & \text{for }\left(\tfrac{b}{2} \right)^2 > c \\ \\ -\tfrac{b}{2} \qquad & \text{for }\left(\tfrac{b}{2} \right)^2 = c \\ \\ -\tfrac{b}{2} \pm i \sqrt{c - \left(\tfrac{b}{2}\right)^2} \qquad & \text{for }\left(\tfrac{b}{2} \right)^2 < c \\ \end{cases}$$
normalizing out the "$a$" does not make the quadratic equation less general. the only degrees of freedom are $b$ and $c$, so that means normally (except for a double root), there are two independent solutions. | {

Alternatively, noting $a\ne 0$: \begin{align}\left(x+{\frac {b}{2a}}\right)^{2}&={\frac {b^{2}-4ac}{4a^{2}}} \iff \\ 4a^2\left(x+{\frac {b}{2a}}\right)^{2}&=b^{2}-4ac \iff \\ \left(2ax+b\right)^{2}&=b^{2}-4ac \iff \\ 2ax+b&=\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \iff \\ x&=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.\end{align} | {

What is the distribution of this random series?
Let $\xi_n$ be iid and uniformly distributed on the three numbers $\{-1,0,1\}$. Set $$X = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\xi_n}{2^n}.$$ It is clear that the sum converges (surely) and the limit has $-1 \le X \le 1$..
What is the distribution of $X$?
Does it have a name? Can we find an explicit formula? What else can we say about it (for instance, is it absolutely continuous)?
We can immediately see that $X$ is symmetric (i.e. $X \overset{d}{=} -X$). Also, if $\xi$ is uniformly distributed on $\{-1,0,1\}$ and independent of $X$, we have $X \overset{d}{=} \frac{1}{2}(X+\xi)$. It follows that for the cdf $F(x) = \mathbb{P}(X \le x)$, we have $$F(x) = \frac{1}{3}(F(2x+1) + F(2x) + F(2x-1)). \quad (*)$$
The cdf of $\sum_{n=1}^{12} \frac{\xi_n}{2^n}$ looks like this:
It looks something like $\frac{1}{2}(1+\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}x))$ but that doesn't quite work (it doesn't satisfy (*)).
-
I think the equation (*) together with the boundary conditions $F(x\leq -1)=0$ and $F(x\geq 1)=1$ determines the cdf $F$ uniquely. – Fabian Apr 10 '12 at 20:20
Remotely related is the Fabius random variable (see wiki). – Sasha Apr 10 '12 at 20:25
It can be shown easily that $F(0)=1/2$, $F(1/2)=5/6$, $F(-x)=1-F(x)$. – Fabian Apr 10 '12 at 20:32
$F(1/4)=2/3$, $F(1/3)=8/11$, $F(2/3)=10/11$, $F(3/4)=17/18$, ... The values of $F$ for rational arguments can be obtained recursively (but I did not yet figure out an explicit formula). – Fabian Apr 10 '12 at 20:48
For $x=-1+2^{-k}$ you can get that $F(x)=\frac{1}{2(3^k)}$. The first $k$ have to be negative, and then half of those end up on the left. Thus, for small $\epsilon$, $F(-1+\epsilon)$ is roughly $\frac{1}{2}\epsilon^{\log_2 3}$. – Thomas Andrews Apr 10 '12 at 20:59

It is not hard to work out cumulants of $X$: $$\kappa_X(r) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\kappa_\xi(r)}{2^{n r}} = \frac{\kappa_\xi(r)}{2^r-1} = \frac{3^r-1}{2^r-1} \cdot \frac{B_r}{r} \cdot [ r \geqslant 2]$$ Obviously, due to symmetry, odd cumulants and moments vanish. This implies the following low order moments: $$m_2 = \mathbb{E}(X^2) = \frac{2}{9}, \quad m_4 = \frac{14}{135}, \quad m_6 = \frac{106}{1701}, \quad \ldots$$
The distribution itself appears to not be absolutely continuous, based on simulations:
Following Fabian's footsteps, it is easy to code computation of CDF at rational points:
ClearAll[cdf];
cdf[x_?ExactNumberQ] /; x >= 1 := 1;
cdf[0] = 1/2;
cdf[x_?Negative] := 1 - cdf[-x];
cdf[x_Rational /; EvenQ[Denominator[x]]] /; -1 < x < 1 :=
cdf[x] = (cdf[2 x] + cdf[2 x - 1] + cdf[2 x + 1])/3;
cdf[x_Rational] := (* set up linear equations and solve them *)
Block[{f, den = Denominator[x], ru1, ru2, vals, sol, ru3},
ru1 = {f[z_] :> Divide[f[2 z] + f[2 z + 1] + f[2 z - 1], 3]};
ru2 = {f[z_ /; z <= -1] :> 0, f[z_ /; z >= 1] :> 1,
f[z_?Negative] :> 1 - f[-z]};
ru3 = f[r_Rational /; Denominator[r] < den] :> cdf[r];
vals = Table[f[k/den], {k, den - 1}] /. ru3;
sol = Solve[(((vals /. ru1) //. ru2) /. ru3) == vals,
Cases[vals, _f]];
Function[{arg, res}, Set[cdf[arg], res]] @@@
Cases[vals, f[a_] :> {a, f[a] /. First[sol]}];
cdf[x]
]
So, for example,
In[101]:= cdf[1/5]
Out[101]= 31/49
The agreement with simulations is excellent:

# Compact notation for one-hot indicator vectors?
Many machine learning approaches use one-hot vectors to represent categorical data. This is sometimes called using indicator features, indicator vectors, regular categorical encoding, dummy coding, or one-hot encoding (among other names).
I'm searching for a compact way to denote a one-hot vector within a model.
Say we have a categorical variable with $$m$$ categories. First, apply some arbitrary sorting to the categories. A one-hot vector $$v$$ is then a binary vector of length $$m$$ where only a single entry can be one, all others must be zero. We set the $$i^\text{th}$$ entry to 1, and all others to 0, to indicate that this $$v$$ represents the categorical variable taking on the $$i^\text{th}$$ possible value.
One clunky attempt based on misguided set notation;
$$v \in \{0, 1\}^m \qquad\qquad \sum_{i=1}^m v_i = 1$$
I've also seen math-oriented people refer to a one-hot vector using the notation
$$\mathbf{e}_i$$
But I don't understand where this notation comes from or what it is called.
Can anyone help me out? Is there a paper that does a good job of this?
Thank you,
There are several ways to note dummy variables (or one-hot encoded), one of them is the indicator function :
$$\mathbb{1}_A(x) := \begin{cases} 1 &\text{if } x \in A, \\ 0 &\text{if } x \notin A. \end{cases}$$
For $$e_i$$ it is a vector of the standard base, where $$e_i$$ denotes the vector with a $$1$$ in the $$i$$ ith coordinate and $$0$$'s elsewhere. For example, in $$\mathbb{R}^5$$, $$e_3 = (0, 0, 1, 0, 0)$$
• This is a good answer! Thanks @Fisher. Mar 19 '20 at 0:17

Difference between minus one and plus one induction?
I recently started a Combinatorics class, in which my teacher (grad student) has instructed us to Prove by induction that $$1^2+2^2+\ldots+n^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} = \frac{2n^3+3n^2+n}{6}$$ this is trivial in the fact that it has been solved many times before, however my professor has insisted I solve it by using $P(n-1)$ as opposed to $P(n+1)$, which I've done below.
Basis
$$\frac{1(1+1)(2*1+1)}{6} = 1$$
Inductive Step $(n-1)$
$$1^2+2^2+\ldots + (n-1)^2 = \frac{(n-1)(n)(2(n-1)+1)}{6}$$ Which Simplifies to $$\frac{(n-1)(n)(2n-1)}{6} \rightarrow \frac{2n^3-3n^2+n}{6}$$ Add $6\frac{n^2}{6}$ to both sides and we've proven by induction.
My question is do there exists any mathematical proofs for which solving by Induction with $n+1$ and $n-1$ are not interchangeable and should I petition my professor to be able to use them interchangeably. I am aware that solving using $n-1$ and $n+1$ is identical, at least for every scenario I've come across (we're working with positive integers so I'm not expecting any variance from that), however given the overwhelming amount of resources, I can't for the life of me figure out why I am being instructed to use a method opposite what seems to be the norm for any other reason besides my teacher's personal preference. | {

• Are you asking about the difference between $P(n-1)\Rightarrow P(n)$ and $P(n)\Rightarrow P(n+1)$ in the inductive step? Those are identical. I am not quite sure what you mean by induction with $n+1$ vs $n-1$. Jan 28 '18 at 18:20
• I know that they are the same as far as my example goes, I was just wondering if there was any reason why my teacher has instructed us using $n-1$ for anything other than his own personal preference, given that I couldn't find any resources online for "Solving induction step with n minus one" or similar. Such that is what I'm being taught actually a mirror of a theorem? I'll update my question for clarity.

• Perhaps you can put side-by-side your approach and your instructor's approach. Sometimes one direction is preferred over another due to simplicity or clarity. Jan 28 '18 at 18:28
• Well, to be fussy neither are either "with n+1" or "with n-1". One is "with n implying n+1" and the other is "with n-1 implying n". Which if you replace $m$ with $n-1$ become "with n implying n+1" and the other "with m implying m+1" which are obviously the same. Jan 28 '18 at 19:44
• You can do induction with n implying n-1 to prove for example if P(237) is true and P(n) implies P(n-1) for natural number then P(n) is true for all natural numbers less than or equal to 237. That's kind of ... useless. ... Unless you are proving something integers. For example we can prove $b^{n+m} = b^nb^m$ for all integers by induction by "inducing down" if we need to. Jan 28 '18 at 19:47
As Michael Burr noted in the comments, the two conventions are identical; it's just a change of name for the variable. You could equally assume $P(k+12)$ holds and prove $P(k+13)$ from that. | {

The advantage of using $P(n-1) \implies P(n)$ is that your target formula is already expressed in terms of $n$, so you don't have to rewrite the target in terms of $n+1$ to figure out what you're looking for; the advantage of using $P(n) \implies P(n+1)$ is that the inductive hypothesis is already expressed in terms of $n$.
One other advantage of using $P(n-1) \implies P(n)$ is that it transfers better to "strong induction," where you can assume $P(k)$ for all $k < n$ to prove $P(n)$. Here there is definitely less rewriting going on if you use $P(n)$ as opposed to $P(n+1)$ as your target.
I've seen both used widely. I personally usually prefer $P(n-1) \implies P(n)$.
• Thank you, I know my question sounds like its teetering on the border between naivety and caution, but I think your answer does well to say that noticing the distinction between the terms of the right hand side can help identify which method to use.

I would argue that, if anything, there are reasons to prefer $P(n) \Rightarrow P(n+1)$.
Natural numbers can be defined in many ways, but the usual inductive definition is the following:
1. $0$ is a natural number;
2. If $n$ is a natural number, then $s(n)$ is a natural number.
Here $s(n)$ denotes the successor of $n$.
These two rules define a set $\mathbb N$ together with an induction principle (which allows us to prove properties of all elements of $\mathbb N$ and is in fact the usual mathematical induction) and a recursion principle (which allows us to construct new objects from the elements of $\mathbb N$).
Then $\mathbb N$ can be endowed with the usual operations satisfying all the well-known properties. In particular, it is customary to write the successor $s(n)$ of $n$ as the sum $n+1$, although it is the sum between two natural numbers that is actually defined by recursion using the successor. | {

There are of course many inductive structures other than the set of natural numbers. For example, binary trees are defined by:
1. $v$ is a binary tree (a single vertex, which is also the root);
2. If $t_1$ and $t_2$ are binary trees, then $t_1 \bullet t_2$ is a binary tree (the graph formed by taking $t_1$ and $t_2$, adding a new vertex as a root and joining the roots of $t_1$ and $t_2$ to the new root).
How does the induction principle look like for binary trees? If you want to prove that $P(t)$ holds for any binary tree $t$, you have to prove:
1. (Basis) $P(v)$ holds;
2. (Inductive step) If $P(t_1)$ and $P(t_2)$ hold, then $P(t_1 \bullet t_2)$ holds.
In this case there is no equivalent to the predecessor of a natural number.
I think the only reason s/he did it this way is s/he wanted to have the final simplification end in the form $\frac {2n^3 + 3n^2 + n}6$
Had he done $P(n) \implies P(n+1)$ it would have involve a lot of factoring to get in the form $\frac {2(n+1)^3 + 3(n+1)^2 + (n+1)}6$.
Try it:
$1 + 2 + .... + n^2 = \frac {2n^3 + 3n^2 + n}6$
So $1 + 2 + ...... + n^2 + (n+1)^2 = \frac {2n^3 + 3n^2 + n}6 + n^2 + 2n + 1$
$= \frac {2n^3 + 9n^2 + 13n + 6}6$
... and we have to somehow get that to .... $=\frac {2(n+1)^3 + 3(n+1)^2 + (n+1)}6$
... which isn't impossible ...
$\frac {2n^3 + 9n^2 + 13n + 6}6= \frac {2n^3 + 6n^2 + 6n + 2 + 3n^2 + 7n + 4}6$
$=\frac {2(n+1)^3 + 3n^2 + 6n + 3 + n + 1}6$
$= \frac {2(n+1)^3 + 3(n+1)^2 + (n+1)}6$
... but.... why schlep? That factoring and working backwords isn't the point.
It's easier to follow it and to go to the conclusion if you you work toward simplifying.
=====
I suppose an easier compromise would be to do:
$\frac {2(n+1)^2 + 3(n+1)^2 + (n+ 1)}{6} = \frac {2n^3 + 6n^2 + 6n + 2 + 3n^2 + 6n + 3 + n+1}6 = \frac {2n^3 + 9n^3 + 13n + 6}6$
first.
Then:
$1+2 + ..... + n^2 + (n+1)^2 =$
$\frac {2n^3 + 3n^2 + n}6 + (n+1)^2 = \frac {2n^3 + 3n^2 + n}6 +n^2 + 2n + 1=$ | {

# A poker hand contains five cards. Find the probability that a poker hand can be....
a) Four of a kind (Contains four cards of equal face value)
So for this one, we want four cards that have the same face value, different suit. And the last card can be any remaining card.
There are 13 ranks, (A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K). We have $$\binom{13}{1}$$ ways to pick 1 rank out of 13. For each of these ranks, we want to pick 4 cards that are all the same rank (and it is forcefully implied that these 4 cards will differ in suits). So $$\binom{13}{1}\binom{4}{4}$$, and for each of these ways, we have $$\binom{48}{1}$$ way to pick 1 card out of the remaining deck of 48 cards, because we picked 4 cards already. Thus, $$\frac{\binom{13}{1}\binom{4}{4}\binom{48}{1}}{\binom{52}{5}}$$ is the total number of ways.
b) Full House (Three cards of equal face value, and two others of equal face value). So i.e: 3, 3, 3, 2, 2 would be a full house where the three 3's and two 2's are distinguishable (different suit).
So there are 13 ranks again, $$\binom{13}{1}$$ ways to pick 1 rank out of 13 total. For each of these ways, we want to pick three cards of the same rank. So $$\binom{13}{1}\binom{4}{3}$$. Now we want two more cards that are of equal face value that differ from the other three cards picked earlier, so there are 12 ranks left, and $$\binom{12}{1}$$ ways to pick 1 rank out of 12 remaining. For each of these ways, we have $$\binom{4}{2}$$ ways to pick 2 cards out of the 4 suits belonging to the same rank, thus $$\binom{12}{1}\binom{4}{2}$$. The total number of ways is: $$\frac{\binom{13}{1}\binom{4}{3}\binom{12}{1}\binom{4}{2}}{\binom{52}{5}}$$
c) Three of a kind. (Three cards of equal face value, and two cards with face values that differ from each other and the other three). | {

13 ranks, we want to pick 3 cards of the same rank. $$\binom{13}{1}\binom{4}{3}$$. Now we want two cards that have different face values from the three picked, and each other. Now here is where I'm a bit confused, the ranks MUST be different, but the suits can be the same. So proceeding, $$\binom{12}{1} \binom{4}{1}$$ to pick 1 card of a different face value, but could be same suit, and then $$\binom{11}{1}\binom{4}{1}$$ to pick another card with a different face value, but could be a different suit. Multiply these altogether and divide by the denominator, and we have our total ways.
Is my work correct?
• Very nearly. Your numerator is the number of total ways to achieve these combinations. Dividing by $52 \choose 5$ gives you the probability of achieving those hands. Feb 14 '19 at 19:36
• That's what I said.....

• Then you'll want to clarify the last line of sections (a) and (b), which both refer to the quotient as "[t]he total number of ways" rather than the probability. Feb 14 '19 at 20:00
You correctly calculated the probabilities of four of a kind and a full house, not the total number of ways. The number of ways these hands can be obtained is given by the numerators of your probabilities.
What is the probability of three of a kind?
As you know, there are $$\binom{52}{5}$$ possible five-card hands that can be drawn from a standard deck. | {

However, your count of the favorable cases is not quite right. There are $$\binom{13}{1}$$ ways to choose the rank from which three cards are drawn and $$\binom{4}{3}$$ ways to select cards of that rank, as you found. The remaining two cards must come from different ranks. There are $$\binom{12}{2}$$ ways to select two ranks from which one card is drawn and $$\binom{4}{1}$$ ways to choose one card from each of the two ranks. Hence, the number of favorable cases is $$\binom{13}{1}\binom{4}{3}\binom{12}{2}\binom{4}{1}^2$$ Therefore, the probability of three of a kind is $$\frac{\dbinom{13}{1}\dbinom{4}{3}\dbinom{12}{2}\dbinom{4}{1}^2}{\dbinom{52}{5}}$$ | {

You count each hand twice since the order in which the singletons are selected does not matter. For instance, if the hand is $$\color{red}{5\heartsuit}, \color{red}{5\diamondsuit}, 5\spadesuit, 7\clubsuit, \color{red}{10\diamondsuit}$$, you count it once when you select $$7\clubsuit$$ as the card you are drawing from the remaining $$12$$ ranks in the deck and $$\color{red}{10\diamondsuit}$$ as the card you are drawing from the remaining $$11$$ ranks in the deck and once when you select $$\color{red}{10\diamondsuit}$$ as the card you are drawing from the remaining $$12$$ ranks in the deck and $$7\clubsuit$$ as the card you are drawing from the remaining $$11$$ ranks in the deck. However, both selections result in the same hand. Therefore, you need to divide your answer by $$2$$. Notice that $$\frac{1}{2}\binom{13}{1}\binom{4}{3}\binom{12}{1}\binom{4}{1}\binom{11}{1}\binom{11}{1}\binom{4}{1} = \binom{13}{1}\binom{4}{3}\binom{12}{2}\binom{4}{1}^2$$
• What matters is which cards are selected. We need to choose the rank from which three cards are drawn, three cards of that rank, the two ranks from which a single card is drawn, and one card from each of those ranks. In your attempt, you distinguished between the first single card you draw and the second one you draw by first selecting a card from one of the remaining $12$ ranks and then selecting a card from one of the remaining $11$ ranks. However, you still get the same hand if you select the cards in the opposite order, which means you have counted every hand twice. Feb 17 '19 at 0:07 | {

1. ## Formula for 1+(1+2)+(1+2+3)+(1+2+3+4)+...
Can someone show me the formula for calculating 1+(1+2)+(1+2+3)+(1+2+3+4)+...
2. Originally Posted by OReilly

Yes, I presume you have a finite sum.
---
The key in the the fact that,
$\displaystyle 1+2+...+x=\frac{x(x+1)}{2}$
---
Therefore, that entire sum is,
$\displaystyle \frac{1(2)}{2}+\frac{2(3)}{2}+...+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$
Thus,
$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{k(k+1)}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{k= 1}^n k^2+k$
Thus, subdivide the summation,
$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\sum_{k=1}^n k^2+\frac{1}{2}\sum_{k=1}^n k$
Use the fact above, and the sum of squares formula,
$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{n(n+1)}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$
Simplify,
$\displaystyle \frac{n(n+1)}{4}+\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{12}$
$\displaystyle \frac{3n(n+1)+n(n+1)(2n+1)}{12}$
Thus, (factor),
$\displaystyle \frac{n(n+1)(3+2n+1)}{12}$
Simplify again,
$\displaystyle \frac{n(n+1)(2n+4)}{12}$
Simplify again,
$\displaystyle \frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{6}$
~~~
Just for refernce, the sum of squares formula is,
$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^nk^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$
----
I think it is cool that,
$\displaystyle \left( \begin{array}{c}n+2\\3 \end{array} \right)=\frac{(n+2)(n+1)n}{3!}$
That means you can calculate the sum by taking 2 more than number of terms and finding the number of combinations of forming three.
3. Thanks!
I didn't know sum of squares formula.
4. Hello,OReilly!
TPHacker is absolutely correct . . . Nice job, T.P. !
If we are desperate, we could find the formula "from scratch".
Can someone show me the formula for calculating:

Crank out a list of the first few sums:
$\displaystyle \begin{array}{ccccccccc}S_1\:=\:1 \\ S_2\:=\:1 + 3\:=\:4\\S_3\:=\:1 + 3 + 6\:=\:10\\ S_4\:=\:1 + 3+6+10 \:=\:20\\ S_5\:=\:1+3+6+10+15\:=\:35 \\S_6\:=\:1+3+6+10+15+21\:=\:56\\ S_7\:=\:1+3+6+10+15+21+28 \;=\;84\\ \vdots\end{array}$
We have a function $\displaystyle f(n)$. .For $\displaystyle n = 1,2,3,\hdots$
. . the function has consecutive values: .$\displaystyle 1\quad4\quad10\quad20\quad56\quad84\;\hdots$
Take differences of consecutive terms: . . $\displaystyle 3\quad6\quad\;10\;\quad15\quad21\;\hdots$
Take differences again: . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$\displaystyle 3\quad\;4\quad\;\;5\quad\;\;6\;\hdots$
Take differences again: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $\displaystyle 1\quad\;1\quad\;\:1\;\hdots$
We have a series of constants at the third differences.
. . Hence, $\displaystyle f(n)$ is a third-degree polynomial ... a cubic.
Hence, the function is of the form: .$\displaystyle f(n)\:=\:an^3 + bn^2 + cn + d$
. . and we must determine $\displaystyle a,b,c,d.$
Use the first four values from our list.
$\displaystyle S_1\,=\,1:\;\;a\cdot1^3 + b\cdot1^2 + c\cdot1 + d\:=$ $\displaystyle \:1\quad\;\;\;\Rightarrow\quad\;\; a+b+c+d\;=\;1$
$\displaystyle S_2\,=\,4:\;\;a\cdot2^3 + b\cdot2^2 + c\cdot2 + d \:= \:$ $\displaystyle 4\;\;\;\quad\Rightarrow\quad\; 8a + 4b +2c + d \;= \;4$
$\displaystyle S_3\,=\,10:\;a\cdot3^3 + b\cdot3^2 + c\cdot3 + d \:=$ $\displaystyle \:10\quad\Rightarrow\quad 27a + 9b + 3c + d \;= \;10$
$\displaystyle S_4\,=\,20:\;a\cdot4^3 + b\cdot4^2 + c\cdot4 + d\:=$ $\displaystyle \:20\quad\Rightarrow\quad 64a + 16b + 4c + d \;= \;20$
Now we must solve this system of equations . . . but it's easy!
. . $\displaystyle \begin{array}{cccc}a+b+c+d\:=\:1 \\ 8a + 4b + 2c + d \:=\:4 \\ 27a + 9b + 3c + d \:= \:10\\ 64a + 16b + 4c + d \:=\:20\end{array}\;\begin{array}{cccc}(1)\\(2)\\( 3)\\(4)\end{array}$ | {

Subtract (1) from (2): .$\displaystyle 7a + 2b + c \:= \:3\quad\;\;\;(5)$

Subtract (8) from (9): .$\displaystyle 6a\,=\,1\quad\Rightarrow\quad \boxed{a = \frac{1}{6}}$
Substitute into (8): .$\displaystyle 12\left(\frac{1}{6}\right) + 2b\:=\:3\quad\Rightarrow\quad \boxed{b = \frac{1}{2}}$
Substitute into (5): .$\displaystyle 7\left(\frac{1}{6}\right) + 3\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + c\:=\:3\quad\Rightarrow\quad \boxed{c = \frac{1}{3}}$
Substitute into (1): .$\displaystyle \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + d\:=\:1\quad\Rightarrow\quad \boxed{d = 0}$
Therefore: .$\displaystyle f(n)\:=\:\frac{1}{6}n^3 + \frac{1}{2}n^2 + \frac{1}{3}n\quad\Rightarrow\quad \boxed{f(n)\;=\;\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{6}}$

This "scratch"method can be used
. . when we suspect we have a polynomial function.
It is long and tedious, but it works.
Of course, it is more efficient to learn a few sums-of-powers formula:
. . $\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n k \;= \;\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$
. . $\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n n^2\;=\;\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$
. . $\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n k^3\;= \;\frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4}$
Note that the third formula is the square of the first formula,
. . making it easier to memorize.
. . This means: .$\displaystyle (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5)^2\:=\:1^3+2^3+3^3+4^3+5^3$

Tell me something, is this a famous method? This is the second time I seen it used on this forum. When I was younger I developed many theorems concerning differences of a sequence. One of them you just used. (A sequence is a polynomial of degree n if and only if it takes n steps to reach a constanct sequence).
---
I have a elegant prove with this rule that,
$\displaystyle a^{(m)}_k=\sum_{k=1}^nk^m$ is always a polynomial sequence.
Consider an infinite sequence,
$\displaystyle 0^m,1^m+0^m,2^m+1^m+0^m,...$
Its diffrence sequence is,
$\displaystyle 0^m,1^m,2^m,3^m,...$
A polynomial sequence of degree $\displaystyle m$ therefore $\displaystyle m$ subtractions are required. In total we used $\displaystyle m+1$ subtractions on our original sequence. Thus there exists a polynomial sequence of degree $\displaystyle m+1$. Furthermore, the first coefficient is $\displaystyle \frac{1}{(m+1)!}$. Based on the fact the constant sequence follows the factorial.

To find, for example, $\displaystyle \sum^n_{k=1} k^4$, we are expected to know the three "preceding" formulas:
. . $\displaystyle \sum^n_{k=1} k \:=\:\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\qquad\sum^n_{k=1} k^2 \:=\:\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\qquad\sum^n_{k=1}$$\displaystyle k^3\:=\:\frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4}$
Consider the next-higher power and form: .$\displaystyle k^5 - (k-1)^5$
We have: /$\displaystyle k^5 - (k-1)^5\:=\;5k^4 - 10k^3 + 10k^2 - 5k + 1$
Now let $\displaystyle k \,= \,n,\,n\!-\!1,\,n\!-\!2,\,...\,,\,3,\,2,\,1$ and "stack" the equations.
. . . . $\displaystyle n^5 - (n-1)^5\;=\quad\;\;5n^4\quad -\quad\;\; 10n^3\quad +$ . .$\displaystyle 10n^2\quad\; -\quad\; 5n\quad\; + 1$
$\displaystyle (n-1)^5-(n-2)^5 \;=$ $\displaystyle \:5(n-1)^4 - 10(n-1)^3 + 10(n-1)^2 - 5(n-1) + 1$
$\displaystyle (n-2)^5-(n-3)^5 \;=$ $\displaystyle \:5(n-2)^4 - 10(n-2)^3 + 10(n-2)^2 - 5(n-2) + 1$
. . . . . . $\displaystyle \vdots$ . . . . . . . . . . .$\displaystyle \vdots$ . . . . . . . .$\displaystyle \vdots$ . . . . . . . $\displaystyle \vdots$ . . . . . . . $\displaystyle \vdots$ . . . $\displaystyle \vdots$

Add the stack (most of the left side cancels out):

We have: .$\displaystyle n^5 \;= \;5\left(\sum k^4\right)-10\cdot\frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4} +$ $\displaystyle 10\cdot\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} - 5\cdot\frac{n(n+1)}{2} + n$

Let $A \subseteq \mathbb R$ be countable and let $f_n: A\to \mathbb R$ be a sequence of functions such that there exists $M \ge 0$ with $\,\lvert\,f_n(x)\rvert\le M$ for all $n$. I am trying to show that there exists a subsequence $f_{n_k}$ of $f_n$ that converges pointwise.
Here is what I have so far: If $A = \{a_1, a_2, \dots \}$ then $f_n(a_1)$ is a bounded sequence hence by Bolzano Weierstrass theorem contains a convergent subsequence $f_{n_{k_1}}$. By the same argument $f_{n_{k_1}}(a_2)$ contains a convergent subsequence $f_{n_{k_2}}$.
Next I want to define $$f_{n_k} (x) = \lim_{j \to \infty} f_{n_{k_j}}(x),$$ the pointwise limit. Then $f_{n_k}(a_j)$ converges for every $a_j \in A$ (it's clear by how it was defined).
Am I done now or am I missing something? Is there anything left to show? | {

Am I done now or am I missing something? Is there anything left to show?
Let $A=\{a_n:n\in\mathbb N\}$. Using Bolzano-Weierstrass for the bounded sequence $\{f_n(a_1)\}_{n\in\mathbb N}$ we can find a convergent subsequence which we denote as $\{f_{1,n}(a_1)\}_{n\in\mathbb N}$. Next, as $\{f_{1,n}(a_2)\}_{n\in\mathbb N}$ is bounded, it also contains a convergent subsequence which we denote as $\{f_{2,n}(a_2)\}_{n\in\mathbb N}$.
In this way we construct recursively the following convergent sequences: \begin{align} f_{1,1}(a_1),&f_{1,2}(a_1),\ldots f_{1,n}(a_1),\ldots,\\ f_{2,1}(a_2),&f_{2,2}(a_2),\ldots f_{2,n}(a_2,\ldots,\\ \vdots&\\ f_{n,1}(a_n),&f_{n,2}(a_n),\ldots f_{n,n}(a_n),\ldots,\\ \vdots& \end{align} with $\{f_{k,n}\}_{n\in\mathbb N}$ a subsequence of all the sequences $\{f_{j,n}\}_{n\in\mathbb N}$, for $j<k$, and say that $\lim_{n\to\infty}f_{j,n}(a_j)=f(a_j)$.
The sequence $\{f_{n,n}\}_{n\in\mathbb N}$ is finally a subsequence of all the above, and hence $\{f_{n,n}(a_j)\}_{n\in\mathbb N}$ converges for all $j\in\mathbb N$, and in particularly $$\lim_{n\to\infty}f_{n,n}(a_j)=f(a_j),$$ for all $j\in\mathbb N$.
• Nice answer. But I don't understand why $f_{k,n}$ is subsequence of $f_{j,n}$ please can you illustrate? – MathLover Nov 17 '18 at 11:46 | {

# Explicit expression for recursive sums
Let $$t_1,t_2,\dots,t_k$$ be non-negative integers. Can the following sum $$f_k(t_1,t_2,\dots,t_k):=\sum_{j_1=0}^{t_1} \sum_{j_2=0}^{t_2+j_1} \sum_{j_3=0}^{t_2+j_2} \dots \sum_{j_k=0}^{t_k+j_{k-1}} 1$$ be explicitly expressed as a polynomial in $$t_1,t_2,\dots,t_k$$ or via known combinatorial entities?
We surely have a recurrence formula: $$f_{k+1}(t_1,t_2,\dots,t_{k+1}) = \sum_{j=0}^{t_1} f_k(j+t_2,\dots,t_{k+1}),$$ which does not seem to easily unroll.
Just in case, first few terms are $$\begin{split} f_0 &= 1,\\ f_1(t_1) &= 1+t_1,\\ f_2(t_1,t_2) &= (1+t_1)(1+t_2) + \frac{t_1(1+t_1)}2,\\ f_3(t_1,t_2,t_3) &= \left[ (1+t_1)(1+t_2) + \frac{t_1(1+t_1)}2 \right](1+t_3) + \frac{t_2(1+t_2)}2 + \frac{3t_2^2 + 6t_2 + 2}6t_1 + \frac{1+t_2}2t_1^2 + \frac16t_1^3. \end{split}$$
UPDATED. Billy Joe found that $$f_k(n,d,d,\dots, d) = \frac{n+1}k \binom{n+k(d+1)}{k-1}.$$ In particular, at $$f_k(1,1,\dots,1)$$ gives $$(k+1)$$-st Catalan number.
• The equal arguments case looks like it should also give the Ehrhart polynomial of some lattice polytope. May 9 at 2:20
• FWIW it seems that $f_k(1,2,3,\ldots,k-2,k-2,k)=a(k+1)$, where $a(k)$ is A107877. May 10 at 17:32
• @BillyJoe: Nice catch! In fact, it is stated there as conjecture by Benedict W. J. Irwin. May 10 at 17:49
• Are you sure about A016121? Apparently $f_k(n,d,d,\ldots,d,d)=\frac{n+1}{k}\binom{n+k(d+1)}{k-1}$. May 10 at 21:08
• Irwin's conjecture on A107877 is equivalent to the earlier comment by Joerg Arndt, Apr 30 2011, which doesn't qualify it as a conjecture. May 11 at 7:19 | {

Claim: The iterated sum $$f_k(t_1,\ldots,t_k)$$ counts the number of elements the interval $$[\emptyset,\lambda]$$ of Young's lattice, where $$\lambda = (\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots,\lambda_k)$$ is the partition determined by $$\lambda_{k-i+1} = t_1 + \cdots + t_i$$. Equivalently, the function $$f_k$$ counts the number of subdiagrams of $$\lambda$$.
For an arbitrary partition $$\lambda$$, we have $$|[\emptyset,\lambda]| = \text{det} \left[\binom{\lambda_i + 1}{i-j+1}\right]_{1 \leq i,j \leq k}$$ which is a result due to P. A. MacMahon. The answer to Exercise 149 in Chapter 3 of Stanley's Enumerative Combinatorics, volume 1, 2nd edition provides a good reference of references for this result, with various extensions and specializations, including some of the results mentioned in the comments. For a short visual proof using Lindström-Gessel-Viennot, see Ciucu - A short conceptual proof of Narayana's path-counting formula.
If the claim is true, MacMahon's result implies $$\sum_{j_1=0}^{t_1}\sum_{j_2=0}^{t_2+j_1}\cdots\sum_{j_k=0}^{t_k+j_{k-1}} = \text{det} \left[\binom{t_1 + \cdots + t_{k - i + 1} + 1}{i-j+1}\right]_{1 \leq i,j \leq k}$$ which implies $$f_k(t_1,\ldots,t_k)$$ is a polynomial in $$t_1,\ldots,t_k$$.
Note that $$f_k(t_1,\ldots,t_k)$$ counts the number of $$(j_1,\ldots,j_k)$$ such that $$0 \leq j_1 \leq t_1$$ and $$0 \leq j_{i+1} \leq j_i + t_{i+1}$$ for $$i \geq 1$$. To establish the claim, it suffices to find a bijection between the set of $$\mu \subseteq \lambda$$ and the set of tuples satisfying the above constraints. | {

Sketch: Map $$\mu \subseteq \lambda$$ to $$(j_1,\ldots,j_k)$$, where $$j_i = \lambda_{k-i+1} - \mu_{k-i+1}$$. The visual interpretation is that each $$j_i$$ measures the distance between the walls of the $$i$$-th row from the bottom of the Young diagrams (English convention) for $$\mu$$ and $$\lambda$$. The $$t_i$$ specify how many boxes are added to the diagram for $$\lambda$$ in moving from the $$(i-1)$$-st row from the bottom to the $$i$$-th row. The constraints express the fact that in going from bottom to top in the diagram, the distance between walls increases by at most $$t_i$$. For a more direct definition chase, note that $$\lambda_{k-i} - \lambda_{k-i+1} = t_{i+1}$$. Since $$\mu$$ is a partition, we have $$\mu_{k-i+1} - \mu_{k-i} \leq 0$$. Combining the definitions and inequalities gives $$j_{i+1} \leq j_i + t_{i+1}$$.
$$f_k(t_1,\dots,t_k)$$ is counting the number of integer points in the "Pitman-Stanley polytope" $$\Pi_k(t_1,\dots,t_k)$$ defined here. The notation $$N(\Pi_k(\mathbf{t}))$$ is used in this paper, which has the determinantal formula given by Hugh Denoncourt, as well as a combinatorial formula. The combinatorial formula is equivalent to $$f_k(t_1,\dots,t_k)=\sum_{\mathbf{h}\in K_k} \binom{t_1+h_1}{h_1} \prod_{i=2}^k \binom{t_i+h_i-1}{h_i},$$ where $$K_k := \{\mathbf{h}\in\mathbb{N}^k\colon \sum_{i=1}^j h_i\geq j\ \mathrm{for\ all}\ 1\leq j\leq k-1\ \mathrm{and}\ \sum_{i=1}^k h_i=k \}.$$ The set $$K_k$$ has a Catalan number $$C_k$$ of elements. | {

# 4.4 The mean value theorem (Page 2/7)
Page 2 / 7
Verify that the function $f\left(x\right)=2{x}^{2}-8x+6$ defined over the interval $\left[1,3\right]$ satisfies the conditions of Rolle’s theorem. Find all points $c$ guaranteed by Rolle’s theorem.
$c=2$
## The mean value theorem and its meaning
Rolle’s theorem is a special case of the Mean Value Theorem. In Rolle’s theorem, we consider differentiable functions $f$ that are zero at the endpoints. The Mean Value Theorem generalizes Rolle’s theorem by considering functions that are not necessarily zero at the endpoints. Consequently, we can view the Mean Value Theorem as a slanted version of Rolle’s theorem ( [link] ). The Mean Value Theorem states that if $f$ is continuous over the closed interval $\left[a,b\right]$ and differentiable over the open interval $\left(a,b\right),$ then there exists a point $c\in \left(a,b\right)$ such that the tangent line to the graph of $f$ at $c$ is parallel to the secant line connecting $\left(a,f\left(a\right)\right)$ and $\left(b,f\left(b\right)\right).$
## Mean value theorem
Let $f$ be continuous over the closed interval $\left[a,b\right]$ and differentiable over the open interval $\left(a,b\right).$ Then, there exists at least one point $c\in \left(a,b\right)$ such that
$f\prime \left(c\right)=\frac{f\left(b\right)-f\left(a\right)}{b-a}.$
## Proof
The proof follows from Rolle’s theorem by introducing an appropriate function that satisfies the criteria of Rolle’s theorem. Consider the line connecting $\left(a,f\left(a\right)\right)$ and $\left(b,f\left(b\right)\right).$ Since the slope of that line is
$\frac{f\left(b\right)-f\left(a\right)}{b-a}$
and the line passes through the point $\left(a,f\left(a\right)\right),$ the equation of that line can be written as
$y=\frac{f\left(b\right)-f\left(a\right)}{b-a}\left(x-a\right)+f\left(a\right).$ | {

$y=\frac{f\left(b\right)-f\left(a\right)}{b-a}\left(x-a\right)+f\left(a\right).$
Let $g\left(x\right)$ denote the vertical difference between the point $\left(x,f\left(x\right)\right)$ and the point $\left(x,y\right)$ on that line. Therefore,
$g\left(x\right)=f\left(x\right)-\left[\frac{f\left(b\right)-f\left(a\right)}{b-a}\left(x-a\right)+f\left(a\right)\right]\text{.}$
Since the graph of $f$ intersects the secant line when $x=a$ and $x=b,$ we see that $g\left(a\right)=0=g\left(b\right).$ Since $f$ is a differentiable function over $\left(a,b\right),$ $g$ is also a differentiable function over $\left(a,b\right).$ Furthermore, since $f$ is continuous over $\left[a,b\right],$ $g$ is also continuous over $\left[a,b\right].$ Therefore, $g$ satisfies the criteria of Rolle’s theorem. Consequently, there exists a point $c\in \left(a,b\right)$ such that $g\prime \left(c\right)=0.$ Since
$g\prime \left(x\right)=f\prime \left(x\right)-\frac{f\left(b\right)-f\left(a\right)}{b-a},$
we see that
$g\prime \left(c\right)=f\prime \left(c\right)-\frac{f\left(b\right)-f\left(a\right)}{b-a}.$
Since $g\prime \left(c\right)=0,$ we conclude that
$f\prime \left(c\right)=\frac{f\left(b\right)-f\left(a\right)}{b-a}.$
In the next example, we show how the Mean Value Theorem can be applied to the function $f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x}$ over the interval $\left[0,9\right].$ The method is the same for other functions, although sometimes with more interesting consequences.
## Verifying that the mean value theorem applies
For $f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x}$ over the interval $\left[0,9\right],$ show that $f$ satisfies the hypothesis of the Mean Value Theorem, and therefore there exists at least one value $c\in \left(0,9\right)$ such that ${f}^{\prime }\left(c\right)$ is equal to the slope of the line connecting $\left(0,f\left(0\right)\right)$ and $\left(9,f\left(9\right)\right).$ Find these values $c$ guaranteed by the Mean Value Theorem. | {

We know that $f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x}$ is continuous over $\left[0,9\right]$ and differentiable over $\left(0,9\right).$ Therefore, $f$ satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem, and there must exist at least one value $c\in \left(0,9\right)$ such that ${f}^{\prime }\left(c\right)$ is equal to the slope of the line connecting $\left(0,f\left(0\right)\right)$ and $\left(9,f\left(9\right)\right)$ ( [link] ). To determine which value(s) of $c$ are guaranteed, first calculate the derivative of $f.$ The derivative ${f}^{\prime }\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{\left(2\sqrt{x}\right)}.$ The slope of the line connecting $\left(0,f\left(0\right)\right)$ and $\left(9,f\left(9\right)\right)$ is given by
$\frac{f\left(9\right)-f\left(0\right)}{9-0}=\frac{\sqrt{9}-\sqrt{0}}{9-0}=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}.$
We want to find $c$ such that ${f}^{\prime }\left(c\right)=\frac{1}{3}.$ That is, we want to find $c$ such that
$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{c}}=\frac{1}{3}.$
Solving this equation for $c,$ we obtain $c=\frac{9}{4}.$ At this point, the slope of the tangent line equals the slope of the line joining the endpoints. | {

questions solve y=sin x
Solve it for what?
Tim
you have to apply the function arcsin in both sides and you get arcsin y = acrsin (sin x) the the function arcsin and function sin cancel each other so the ecuation becomes arcsin y = x you can also write x= arcsin y
Ioana
what is the question ? what is the answer?
Suman
there is an equation that should be solve for x
Ioana
ok solve it
Suman
are you saying y is of sin(x) y=sin(x)/sin of both sides to solve for x... therefore y/sin =x
Tyron
or solve for sin(x) via the unit circle
Tyron
what is unit circle
Suman
a circle whose radius is 1.
Darnell
the unit circle is covered in pre cal...and or trigonometry. it is the multipcation table of upper level mathematics.
Tyron
what is function?
A set of points in which every x value (domain) corresponds to exactly one y value (range)
Tim
what is lim (x,y)~(0,0) (x/y)
limited of x,y at 0,0 is nt defined
Alswell
But using L'Hopitals rule is x=1 is defined
Alswell
Could U explain better boss?
emmanuel
value of (x/y) as (x,y) tends to (0,0) also whats the value of (x+y)/(x^2+y^2) as (x,y) tends to (0,0)
NIKI
can we apply l hospitals rule for function of two variables
NIKI
why n does not equal -1
Andrew
I agree with Andrew
Bg
f (x) = a is a function. It's a constant function.
proof the formula integration of udv=uv-integration of vdu.?
Find derivative (2x^3+6xy-4y^2)^2
no x=2 is not a function, as there is nothing that's changing.
are you sure sir? please make it sure and reply please. thanks a lot sir I'm grateful.
The
i mean can we replace the roles of x and y and call x=2 as function
The
if x =y and x = 800 what is y
y=800
800
Bg
how do u factor the numerator?
Nonsense, you factor numbers
Antonio
You can factorize the numerator of an expression. What's the problem there? here's an example. f(x)=((x^2)-(y^2))/2 Then numerator is x squared minus y squared. It's factorized as (x+y)(x-y). so the overall function becomes : ((x+y)(x-y))/2

The
The problem is the question, is not a problem where it is, but what it is
Antonio
I think you should first know the basics man: PS
Vishal
Yes, what factorization is
Antonio
Antonio bro is x=2 a function?
The
Yes, and no.... Its a function if for every x, y=2.... If not is a single value constant
Antonio
you could define it as a constant function if you wanted where a function of "y" defines x f(y) = 2 no real use to doing that though
zach
Why y, if domain its usually defined as x, bro, so you creates confusion
Antonio
Its f(x) =y=2 for every x
Antonio
Yes but he said could you put x = 2 as a function you put y = 2 as a function
zach
F(y) in this case is not a function since for every value of y you have not a single point but many ones, so there is not f(y)
Antonio
x = 2 defined as a function of f(y) = 2 says for every y x will equal 2 this silly creates a vertical line and is equivalent to saying x = 2 just in a function notation as the user above asked. you put f(x) = 2 this means for every x y is 2 this creates a horizontal line and is not equivalent
zach
The said x=2 and that 2 is y
Antonio
that 2 is not y, y is a variable 2 is a constant
zach
So 2 is defined as f(x) =2
Antonio
No y its constant =2
Antonio
what variable does that function define
zach
the function f(x) =2 takes every input of x within it's domain and gives 2 if for instance f:x -> y then for every x, y =2 giving a horizontal line this is NOT equivalent to the expression x = 2
zach
Yes true, y=2 its a constant, so a line parallel to y axix as function of y
Antonio
Sorry x=2
Antonio
And you are right, but os not a function of x, its a function of y
Antonio
As function of x is meaningless, is not a finction
Antonio
yeah you mean what I said in my first post, smh
zach
I mean (0xY) +x = 2 so y can be as you want, the result its 2 every time
Antonio
OK you can call this "function" on a set {2}, but its a single value function, a constant
Antonio
well as long as you got there eventually

# Rate of change of radius and volume
They put a gas bubble in someone's eye. The volume of a gas bubble changes from $0.4$ $cc$ to $1.6$ $cc$ in $74$ hours. Assuming that the rate of change of the radius is constant, find
• (a) The rate at which the radius changes;
• (b) The rate at which the volume of the bubble is increasing at any volume $V$;
• (c) The rate at which the volume is increasing when the volume
is $1$ $cc$. (Note: The volume of a ball of radius $r$ is $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$. Assume the bubble is spherical.)
Explanation would be appreciated.
I did differentiate the $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ with respect to r that is $4\pi r^2$ and then made that equal to $1.66-06$ which is the rate change of $V$. But I Don't know if I am doing it right.
-
Remember that if the radius grows by a factor of x then the volume grows by X^3. So if the volume grew 4 times then the radius grew by... – DannyDan Nov 7 '13 at 18:10
$v=\frac{4\pi r^3}{3}$
or
$r=(3v/4\pi)^{1/3}$
$\frac{dv}{dt}=4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}$ substitute for $r$ we get
and letting $dr/dt=K$ (constant) then
$v^{-2/3}dv=4\pi K(3/(4\pi))^{2/3} dt$
$3v^{1/3} = 4\pi K(3/(4\pi))^{2/3} dt$
Integrating between limits $0.4$ and $1.6$ for V and $t=0$ to $74$, we get $K= \frac{1.6^{1/3}-.4^{1/3}}{74 (4\pi/3)^{1/3}}$ which works out to $3.628E-3 cm/hr$ as the rate of change of radius.
b) $dv/dt=(36\pi)^{1/3} KV^{2/3}$
c) substitute $v=1$ in above we get $(36\pi)^{1/3} K$
-
It would be alot easier for part 1 to just: $$K = \frac{\sqrt[3]{1.6*3/4/\pi}-\sqrt[3]{0.4*3/4/\pi}}{74} cm/hr$$ but they both get the same answer – kaine Nov 7 '13 at 19:12
Hint: what are the starting and ending radii? Let $t$ be the number of hours from the start. Now write an equation $r=$ some function of $t$. Use that to write another equation $V=$ some function of $t$ Now use these functions to answer the questions.
-
If the radius increases at a constant rate, $r = \alpha t+r_o$ for some constant $\alpha$. | {

If the radius increases at a constant rate, $r = \alpha t+r_o$ for some constant $\alpha$.
this simplifies the questions to:
a) What are the values of $\alpha$ and $r_o$? (should be solvable from the data)
b) Write $V(t)$, solve for $\frac{dV}{dt}$, and write that in terms of just V.
c) Specifically plug $V=1 cc$ into the answer for b.
Note that we are hesitating to give a direct answer as this appears to be homework but I will gladly confirm any answers you come up with.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, can you please work it down further? I have never learned this formula.
4. Hello, euclid2!
There are several approaches to this problem.
. . Here's one of them . . .
Find the equation of the quadratic given its real roots $2-\sqrt 3$ and $2 + \sqrt3$
which passes through the point (1,-2)
If the quadratic, $ax^2 + bx + c$, has roots $p\text{ and }q$, then: . $p+q \:=\:-\frac{b}{a},\;\;pq \:=\:\frac{c}{a}$
So we have: . $\begin{array}{ccc}p+q &=&4 \\ pq &=& 1\end{array}\quad\Rightarrow\quad\begin{array}{ccc }\frac{b}{a} &=& \text{-}4 \\ \frac{c}{a} &=& 1 \end{array}$ . $\Rightarrow\quad\begin{array}{ccc}b &=&\text{-}4a \\ c &=&a \end{array}$
. . The function (so far) is: . $f(x) \:=\:ax^2 -4ax + a$
Since (1,-2) is on the graph: . $a\!\cdot\!1^2 - 4a\!\cdot\!1 + a \:=\:-2 \quad\Rightarrow\quad -2a \:=\:-2$
. . Hence: . $a\:=\:1,\;\;b\:=\:-4,\;\;c\:=\:1$
Therefore: . $f(x)\;=\;x^2 - 4x + 1$

Thank you very much, although can you edit this to show me where you are getting those numbers from? Thanks, again.
6. $f(x) = k(x - r_1)(x - r_2)$
$f(x) = k[x^2 -(r_1 + r_2)x + r_1 \cdot r_2]$
$r_1 + r_2 = (2 - \sqrt{3}) + (2 + \sqrt{3}) = 4$
$r_1 \cdot r_2 = (2 - \sqrt{3})(2 + \sqrt{3}) = 4 - 3 = 1$
$f(x) = k(x^2 - 4x + 1)$
since $f(1) = -2$
$-2 = k[(1)^2 - 4(1) + 1]$
$-2 = k(-2)$
$k = 1$
so ...
$f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 1$ | {

If you make the polynomial approach a degree of infinity, your approximation becomes infinitely close to the real function and is perfectly equal to the real function. Toggle Main Navigation. 10 Problem 47E. 10: Taylor and Maclaurin Series 1. putationally efficient method of approximation. Maclaurin & Taylor Series (Desmos) Nothing original, but this model demonstrates how increasing the number of terms in a Taylor or Maclaurin series improves the approximation. Taylor Series. Taylor series are extremely powerful tools for approximating functions that can be difficult to compute otherwise, as well as evaluating infinite sums and integrals by recognizing Taylor series. We can use power series to create a function that has the same value as another function, and we can then use a limited number of terms as a way to compute approximate values for the original function within the interval of convergence. In an open interval around x= a, f(x) ≈ f(a)+f′(a)(x−a) linear approximation • Quadratic approximation in one variable: Take the constant, linear, and quadratic terms from the Taylor series. On [Series:: esss] makes Series generate a message in this case. Maclaurin and Taylor Series ··· the curve representing ex is a better and better approximation. Let n 1 be an integer, and let a 2 R be a point. So, you can start by assuming the Taylor series definition:. So, I'm trying to create a program that calculates cos(x) by using a Taylor approximation. At the age of 19 he was elected a professor of mathematics at Marischal College, Aberdeen, and two.

Series! I need help :( What is the purpose of the power/maclaurin/taylor series Series expansions of odd functions. power series, such as the Taylor series of a basic function. The first derivative of tan x is very simple as you can see. Theorem 40 (Taylor's Theorem). Taylor series expansions of hyperbolic functions, i. org ) Created Date: 8/7/2013 5:18:45 PM. 3) Comment at the bottom of the page. Applications of Taylor Series Recall that we used the linear approximation of a function in Calculus 1 to estimate the values of the function near a point a (assuming f was di erentiable at a): f(x) ˇf(a) + f0(a)(x a) for x near a: Now suppose that f(x) has in nitely many derivatives at a and f(x) equals the. The sum of partial series can be used as an approximation of the whole series. The exponential function is shown in red and the Maclaurin series approximation function is shown in blue. The goal of a Taylor expansion is to approximate function values. [3] (iii) By substituting x = 3 8. Maclaurin and Taylor Series. The Maclaurin series above is more than an approximation of e x, it is equal to e x on the interval of convergence (- , ). 01 Single Variable Calculus, Fall 2005 Prof. com, a free online graphing calculator. Taylor's theorem (actually discovered first by Gregory) states that any function satisfying certain conditions can be expressed as a Taylor series. The th term of a Maclaurin series of a function can be computed in the Wolfram Language using SeriesCoefficient[f, x, 0, n] and is given by the inverse Z-transform. NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) Munteanu, M. To avoid this, we can rst nd the Maclaurin Series for g(x) = (1+x)2=3,. By intuitive, I mean intuitive to those with a good grasp of functions, the basics of a first semester of calculus (derivatives, integrals, the mean value theorem, and the fundamental theorem of calculus) - so it's a mathematical.

To find the Maclaurin. The main idea is this: You did linear approximations in first semester calculus. The Maclaurin Series: Approximations to f Near x = 0 If we let a Taylor polynomial keep going forever instead of cutting it off at a particular degree, we get a Taylor series. Use the Taylor series for the function defined as to estimate the value of. In the West, the subject was formulated by the Scottish mathematician James Gregory and formally introduced by the English mathematician Brook Taylor in 1715. In specific, the type of Taylor series used is technically a Maclaurin series, since the representation is centered at a=0. You can now regrow the entire creature from that tiny sample. 6 Taylor Series You can see that we can make Taylor Polynomial of as high a degree as we’d like. Find the Taylor series for at xa. the Maclaurin series of a function is centred at 0, or talk of the series expansion around 0. In [5] the convergence radius for Liapunov series was found in case of homogeneous equilibrium figures (Maclaurin ellipsoids). TAYLOR AND MACLAURIN SERIES 3 Note that cos(x) is an even function in the sense that cos( x) = cos(x) and this is re ected in its power series expansion that involves only even powers of x. Course Material Related to This Topic: Read lecture notes, section 3, pages 4–5. The first one is easy because tan 0 = 0. A Taylor series can be used to describe any function ƒ(x) that is a smooth function (or, in mathematical terms. As you can imagine each order of derivative gets larger which is great fun to work out. We would like to find an easier-to-compute approximation to f(x), to see why f this is also called the MacLaurin polynomial, (called a power series). We now take a particular case of Taylor Series, in the region near x = 0. Maclaurin Series of Sqrt(1+x) In this tutorial we shall derive the series expansion of $$\sqrt {1 + x}$$ by using Maclaurin's series expansion function. 7 Taylor and Maclaurin Series The conclusion we can draw | {

Maclaurin's series expansion function. 7 Taylor and Maclaurin Series The conclusion we can draw from (5) and Example 1 is that if ex has a power series expansion at 0, then ∞ xn x e = n! n=0 So how can we determine whether ex does have a power series representation?. Maclaurin series and the general Taylor series centered at x = a. If we're evaluating the series at a point within its interval of convergence. The Maclaurin series for this function is known as the binomial series. A Maclaurin series is the expansion of the Taylor series of a function about zero. What you did was you created a linear function (a line) approximating a function by taking two things into consideration: The value of the function at a point, and the value of the derivative at the same point. XXIV – Taylor and Maclaurin Series 1. You can hide/reveal the graph of appropriate series and change the value of the pivot in the Taylor series. , I might be ( 17;19)) and let x 0 be a point in I, i. The program approximates the function cos(x) using a Taylor series approximation. It is often useful to designate the infinite possibilities by what is called the Taylor Series. Towards Maclaurin. Thus, The Remainder Term is z is a number between x and 3. In [5] the convergence radius for Liapunov series was found in case of homogeneous equilibrium figures (Maclaurin ellipsoids). If we just have a zero-degree polynomial, which is just a constant, you can approximate it with a horizontal line that just goes through that point. By using this website, you agree to our Cookie Policy. Thanks, Prasad. To nd Taylor series for a function f(x), we must de-. If not, for what values of x can I use the series to approximate f(x)? 5. ) When , the series is called a Maclaurin series. | {

# How can I define a very large matrix efficiently?
Here's a 7x7 matrix:
(matrix = {{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}, {1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {1,
1, -2, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {1, 1, 1, -3, 0, 0, 0}, {1, 1, 1, 1, -4, 0,
0}, {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, -5, 0}, {1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
1, -6}}) // MatrixForm
The matrix looks like this:
How can I define the 100x100 equivalent of this matrix efficiently without having to manually type out every element? The documentation gives some ideas, but although there's certainly an order in this matrix, it's not something that translates easily (at all?) to the commands used in the documentation.
size = 7;
Table[Which[i == 1, 1, i > j, 1, i == j, -i + 1, True, 0], {i, size}, {j, size}]
• Worked very well, now I'll have to understand your syntax =) – Allure Jul 2 '19 at 3:41
• You might be interested in a tweak to your method explained in my answer. – Michael E2 Jul 2 '19 at 17:35
The question refers to efficiency, which might mean with respect to programming, performance, or both. My guess is programming, but highlighting the performance strengths of Mathematica should promote learning the "Mathematica style" as it is sometimes referred to.
Timings on various approaches for size = 100 (timing code given at the end):
• 0.008800 @kglr
• 0.007000 @Rohit Namjoshi, which can be improved to 0.00026
• 0.000510 @MikeY, which can be improved to 0.000041 (best of all)
• 0.000047 @MichaelE2, (was never under 0.000042 but usually 0.000046 to 0.000048)
My best solution:
size = 5;
matrix =
With[{r = Range@size,
zero = DeveloperToPackedArray@{0}},
UnitStep[Outer[Plus, r, -r] + PadRight[ConstantArray[r, {1}], {size, size}]] -
];
matrix // MatrixForm
### Discussion
Table[] vs. Array[]. The solution of @RohitNamjoshi can be improved by using Array[]. This involves turning the expression e into a function, which takes only wrapping the expression with Function[{i, j}, e] and removing i and j from the iterators: | {

Which[i == 1, 1, i > j, 1, i == j, -i + 1, True, 0]
], {size, size}]; // RepeatedTiming
(* {0.00039, Null} *)
It can be sped up a little by compiling the function. Compiling with or without CompilationTarget -> "C" affects Table[] and Array[] differently. Compiling speeds up Table[] (0.0039 sec.), but whether to C or not makes no perceptible difference. Compiling to C speeds up Array[] slightly, but compiling to WVM the option slows down Array[] (0.00091 sec.); I don't know why.

Vectorization vs. Compiling. Many basic functions in Mathematica are vectorized: They work efficiently on packed arrays. Elementary functions, many linear algebra functions, some list manipulation functions (esp. functions operating on rectangular arrays) are particularly efficient on packed arrays. Other functions might "unpack" the array, which involves copying the packed array into the unpacked form. This done internally but there are ways to tell (On["Packing"] and DeveloperPackedArrayQ for instance); mainly it is invisible to the user except for a performance hit. Usually, but not always, the vectorized functions are more efficient than compiled functions. The solution of @MikeY takes advantage of this up until ones and the use of ArrayFlatten[], which unpacks its arguments to assemble the final matrix. The reason ArrayFlatten[] unpacks is because one of the inputs, ones, is not packed. It turns out that user-entered lists are not packed. If we pack it, we get a great improvement in performance: | {

Block[{m1, m2, ones},
m1 = LowerTriangularize[ConstantArray[1, {n, n}], -1];
m2 = m1 - DiagonalMatrix[Range[n]];
ones = DeveloperToPackedArray@{ConstantArray[1, n]};
ArrayFlatten[{{1, ones}, {Transpose@ones, m2}}]
]]; // RepeatedTiming
(* {0.000041, Null} *)
Using ArrayPad[m2, {{1, 0}, {1, 0}}, 1], as suggested by @kglr, is about the same speed (the timings fluctuate around each other), even though it eliminates a line of code (for ones). But ones is just 1 x 100 and rather small compared to the matrices. At size = 1000, ArrayFlatten[] took 0.014-0.015 sec., ArrayPad[] took 0.015-0.16 sec., and my method took 0.012-0.014 sec.
My own answer avoids unpacking and uses vectorized functions. Outer[Plus, array1, array2] and Outer[List, array1, array2] are extremely efficient special cases of Outer[] on packed arrays.

• Nice comparison, thanks. I chose my approach more for ease of understanding, or maybe to align with the underlying logic of the matrix, rather than performance. Nice to see it did alright on the performance front too. I learned something! – MikeY Jul 2 '19 at 17:41

• @MichaelE2, I tweaked my answer, thanks for the tip. – MikeY Jul 2 '19 at 19:12
You can also use SparseArray as follows
sa[n_] := SparseArray[{{i_, i_} /; i > 1 -> 1 - i, {i_, j_} /; 1 < i < j -> 0}, {n, n}, 1]
matrix2 = sa[7]
matrix2 == matrix
True
One more, for fun and education. Treating it like a block matrix, do the lower right first. This makes a lower triangular matrix of 1s, with the -1 in the command telling it to make the diagonal = zero.
m1=LowerTriangularize[ConstantArray[1, {6, 6}], -1]
$$\left( \begin{array}{cccccc} 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\ \end{array} \right)$$
m2 = m1 - DiagonalMatrix[Range[6]]
$$\left( \begin{array}{cccccc} -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & -2 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & -3 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & -4 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & -5 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & -6 \\ \end{array} \right)$$
Now the upper right, a $$1 \times 6$$ matrix of ones
ones = ConstantArray[1, {1, n}]
$$\left( \begin{array}{cccccc} 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ \end{array} \right)$$

As already suggested in the other answers, vectorization is a key to high performance when working with large numeric arrays. To further increase calculation speed it is useful to remove unnecessary intermediate steps, because memory operations on large arrays can be quite time consuming. Here is a vectorized function with very few intermediate steps:
mFast[n_] := LowerTriangularize[DiagonalMatrix[-Range[n]] + 1] + UnitVector[n, 1];
Timing measurement:
RepeatedTiming[mFast[100];]
{0.000032, Null}
This can be compared to MichaelE2's function:
mMichaelE2[size_] := With[{r = Range@size, zero = DeveloperToPackedArray@{0}},
UnitStep[Outer[Plus, r, -r] + PadRight[ConstantArray[r, {1}], {size, size}]]

# If $n = m^3 - m$ for some integer $m$, then $n$ is a multiple of $6$
I am trying to teach myself mathematics (I have no access to a teacher), but I am not getting very far. I am just working through the exercises at the end of the book's chapter, but unfortunately there are no solutions.
Anyway, I am trying to prove
If $n = m^3 - m$ for some integer $m$, then $n$ is a multiple of $6$.
But I do not know how to approach it. I thought of starting with something like $n = 6k$ for the multiple and that $m^3$ is crucial, but I do not know how that would help or where to go next. Does anyone have any hints or suggestions? Please do not post the whole proof because I want to solve it myself, thank you.

You might also want to show that if $n = m^5-m$ for some integer $m$, then $n$ is a multiple of 30. (This is a bit trickier but basically the same idea.) – Michael Lugo Jul 17 '12 at 0:11

Bill, that is more clever than the solution I had in mind - I hadn't thought to exploit what was done in the original question! I was thinking of factoring as $m(m-1)(m+1)(m^2+1)$ and then arguing that at least one factor is divisible by each of 2, 3, and 5. – Michael Lugo Jul 17 '12 at 18:53 | {

Lets start by factoring $n:$$n = m^3-m = m(m^2-1) = (m-1)m(m+1)$$ Note$(m-1),m$and$(m+1)$are three consecutive integers so (at least) one of these must be a multiple of$2$and one of these must be a multiple of$3$. - Thank you - that is helpful (I can probably do something now with factors) – George Jul 17 '12 at 0:16 Glad to help. Yes: $$n = (2p)\times (3r)\times t$$ where$p,r$and$t$are integers :) – Quixotic Jul 17 '12 at 0:17 so I did this:$\frac{n}{6} = ( (m - 1)(\frac{m}{2})(\frac{(m + 1)}{3}))$so$n = 6((m - 1)(\frac{m}{2})(\frac{(m + 1)}{3}))$is that cheating? Or am I going the right way? – George Jul 17 '12 at 0:31 I don't think this is the right way since if this is valid you can probably show divisibility by any number. – Quixotic Jul 17 '12 at 0:33 After what I said before,$n = (2p)\times (3r)\times t = 6 (prt)$and you are done. – Quixotic Jul 17 '12 at 0:42 show 1 more comment Hint$\rm\ mod\ 6\!:\ 0^3\!\equiv 0,\ (\pm1)^3\!\equiv \pm1,\ (\pm2)^3\!\equiv \pm2,\ 3^3\!\equiv 3\:\Rightarrow\:n^3\equiv n\ \ $QED Note$ $It's easier via balanced residues$\{0,\, \pm1,\, \pm2,\, 3\}$vs.$\,\{0,1,2,3,4,5\},\,$by$\rm\:4\equiv -2,\:\rm 5\equiv -1.\:$It is not difficult to prove a generalized Euler-Fermat theorem, namely Theorem$\ $For naturals$\rm\: e,m,n\: $with$\rm\: e,m>1 \rm\qquad\qquad\ m\ |\ n^e-n\ $for all$\rm\:n\ \iff\ m\:$is squarefree and prime$\rm\: p\:|\:m\: \Rightarrow\: p\!-\!1\ |\ e\!-\!1 $Yours is the special case$\rm\:e={\bf\color{blue}3},\ m = 6 = {\bf\color{#C00}2}\cdot{\bf\color{#0A0}3}\:$is squarefree, and$\rm\, {\bf\color{#C00}2}\!-\!1,{\bf\color{#0A0}3}\!-\!1\:|\:{\bf\color{blue}3}-1.$- $$n = m^3 - m$$ $$= m (m^2 - 1)$$ $$= m (m - 1) (m + 1)$$ Now, let$m$be odd.

of$2$numbers, so, again we have one of$m$,$m \pm 1$being divisible by$6$. - You could also show this by induction, noting$0^3-0$is a multiple of$6$for the base case, and then showing that$(m+1)^2-(m+1) - (m^3-m)$is a multiple of$6$for all$m$for the inductive step. (It is enough to cover the nonnegative case, because$(-m)^3-(-m)=-(m^3-m)$.) You can show that the new expression, which simplifies to$3m(m+1)$, is a multiple of$6$either by noting that one of$m$or$m+1$is even as in Quixotic's answer, or again using induction. Note that$3\cdot 0(0+1)$is a multiple of$6$for the base case, and then show that$3(m+1)(m+2)-3m(m+1)=6(m+1)$is a multiple of$6$for the inductive step. Applying a similar method to Michael Lugo's problem in the comments shows after$3$steps of taking differences (and checking base cases) that$m^5-m$is divisible by$30$. If$f(m)=m^5-m$,$g(m)=f(m+1)-f(m)$,$h(m)=g(m+1)-g(m)$, and$k(m)=h(m+1)-h(m)$, then$f(0)=g(0)=0$,$h(0)=30$, and$k(m)=150 + 180 m + 60 m^2\$. | {

# Two questions about counting strings
I saw this two questions that I don't fully understand:
Let $E$ be the number of strings in $\{0,1\}^{17}$ with an even number of 1's, and Let $O$ be the number of strings with an odd number of 1's. What is $E-O$
The answer in the book is 0, but there's no explanation. Also
What is the number of strings in $\{0,1,2,3\}^{17}$ with an even sum of coordinates
The answer is $\frac{4^{17}}{2}$, but also no explanation. Thanks
-
If you write down a string with 17 digits, each of which is either $0$ or $1$, then you will either have an even number of $1$s and an odd number of zeros; or an odd number of $1$s and an even number of $0$s. So $E+O$ is the total number of strings.
However, if you take all strings, and in every string you exchange the roles of $0$ and $1$ (turn all $1$s to $0$s and all $0$s to $1$s) then you get back all strings again; but every string that was in $E$ will now be in $O$, and every string that was in $O$ will now be in $E$. That is, this operations swaps the contents of $E$ and $O$. So the number of elements in $E$ must be exactly the same as the number of elements in $O$. That is, $E=O$, so $E-O=0$.
Now consider the strings of length $17$ whose entries are $0$, $1$, $2$, or $3$. Exactly half of them have an even sum, and half have an odd sum. Why? Because of all strings of length $17$ with a given $16$ digit start, half will add up to an odd number and half will add up to an even number (those that end in $0$ and $2$ will have the same parity, those that end in $1$ or $3$ will have the same parity as each other, and opposite the parity of those that end in $0$ and $2$). Since there are $4^{17}$ strings total, half of them will add up to an even sum for a total of $\frac{4^{17}}{2}$. | {

Can I conclude from the first question (with a one-to-one relation) that every set $A=\{1,...,n\}$ has exactly $\frac{2^n}{2}=2^{n-1}$ sub-sets of even/odd size? – yotamoo Mar 14 '12 at 17:52
@yotamoo: You can use complements to conclude that if $n$ is odd (since going from $B\subseteq A$ to $A-B$ will swap odd-sized subsets with eve-sized subsets). For $n$ even, though, that argument does not work; if you have some other way of establishing a correspondence between odd-sized subsets and even-sized subsets in that case, then yes. – Arturo Magidin Mar 14 '12 at 18:05
For the first question, we can alternatively directly count both E and O like so:
Generally, the number of strings in $\{0,1\}^{17}$ with $k$ $1$'s is $\displaystyle\binom {17}k$, as we're ranging over all possible spots to put the $k$ ones in. So E equals the sum of this over all even numbers, and similarly O is the sum over all odd numbers. We can calculate
E - O $= \displaystyle \sum_{i=0}^{8} \displaystyle \binom {17}{2i} - \sum_{i=0}^{8} \displaystyle \binom {17}{2i + 1} = \sum_{i=0}^{17} \displaystyle (-1)^i \binom {17}{i} = \sum_{i=0}^{17}\displaystyle 1^{n-i}(-1)^i \binom {17}{i} = (1-1)^{17} = 0^{17} = 0.$
However, this approach doesn't seem to lend itself to the next question directly, unless you notice that a sum is even iff the the number of $1$'s plus the number of $3$'s is even. In this case, you can consider $1$ and $3$ as one element, and $0$ and $2$ as one element (sorting them by parity). We're essentially looking for E here and so we can apply our result that E = O from above. Combined with the knowledge that E $+$ O = our total number of strings, $4^{17}$, we see that E = $\dfrac{4^{17}}{2}$.
A computational approach is helpful and possible, but the often superior option is to come up with what is called a combinatorial proof based on direct reasoning, as in Arturo or lhf's answers. As Stanley writes in enumerative combinatics, | {

Not only is the above combinatorial proof much shorter than our previous proof, but also it makes the reason for the simple answer completely transparent. It is often the case, as occurred here, that the first proof to come to mind turns out to be laborious and inelegant, but that the final answer suggests a simple combinatorial proof. (page 12)

# Math Help - Trigonometry problem.
1. ## Trigonometry problem.
Find x, when:
$\arcsin(x) = \frac \pi 3 + \arctan(-\frac 13)$
I have come this far, but here it stops:
$x = \sin\left(\frac \pi 3 + \arctan(-\frac 13)\right)$
$x = \sin(\frac \pi 3) \cdot \cos(\arctan(-\frac 13)) + \cos(\frac \pi 3) \cdot \sin(\arctan(-\frac 13))$
$x = \frac{\sqrt 3}{2} \cdot \cos(\arctan(-\frac 13)) + \frac 12 \cdot \sin(\arctan(-\frac 13))$
$x = \frac{ \sqrt 3 \cdot \cos(\arctan(-\frac 13)) + \sin(\arctan(-\frac 13))}{2}$
Firstly, is this correct?
Secondly, what should I do with $\arctan(-\frac 13)$?

Looking good!
now, let $\theta = \arctan \bigg( \frac 13 \bigg)$ (so what you are looking for is $- \sin \theta$ and $\cos \theta$ -- since $\tan (-x) = - \tan x,~ \sin (-x) = - \sin x \mbox{, and } \cos (-x) = \cos x$)
$\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \frac 13$
thus we can draw a right-triangle, with an acute angle $\theta$, where the opposite side is of length 1 and the adjacent side is of length 3, since this is how we define the tangent ratio. By Pythagoras' theorem, the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{10}$
Now, recall that $\text{sine } = \frac {\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$ and $\text{cosine } = \frac {\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
i leave it to you to finish up

Firstly, is this correct?
Secondly, what should I do with $\arctan(-\frac 13)$?
As you noted $x=\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}+\arctan\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)\right)$
And also you noted that $\sin\left(A+B\right)=\sin\left(A\right)\cos\left(B \right)+\sin\left(B\right)\cos\left(A\right)$
So we have
$x=\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\cos\left(\arctan\ left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)\right)+\sin\left(\arctan\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)\right)\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$
Simplifying we get
$x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cos\left(\arctan\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)\right)+\frac{1}{2}\sin\left(\arctan\l eft(\frac{-1}{3}\right)\right)$
Now it can be shown that $\cos\left(\arctan(x)\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$
and $\sin\left(\arctan(x)\right)=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}$
So we have that
$x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\left(\f rac{-1}{3}\right)^2}}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)}{\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)^2}}$
$~=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}+\fr ac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{-\sqrt{10}}{20}$
$=\frac{\left(3\sqrt{3}-1\right)\sqrt{10}}{20}\quad\blacksquare$

binomial theorem.Commonly, a binomial coefficient is indexed by a pair of integers n ≥ k ≥ 0 and is written (). Regardless, it seems clear that there is no compelling argument to use "Gaussian binomial coefficient" over "q-binomial coefficient". Open an example in Overleaf ( n - k )! It is the coefficient of the x k term in the polynomial expansion of the binomial power (1 + x) n, and is given by the formula =!! Binomial coefficients are the ones that appear as the coefficient of powers of x x x in the expansion of (1 + x) n: (1+x)^n: (1 + x) n: ( 1 + x ) n = n c 0 + n c 1 x + n c 2 x 2 + ⋯ + n c n x n , (1+x)^n = n_{c_{0}} + n_{c_{1}} x + n_{c_{2}} x^2 + \cdots + n_{c_{n}} x^n, ( 1 + x ) n = n c 0 + n c 1 x + n c 2 x 2 + ⋯ + n c n x n , coefficient Click on one of the binomial coefficient designs, which look like the letters "n" over "k" inside either a round or angled bracket. For these commands to work you must import the package amsmath by adding the next line to the preamble of your file For these commands to work you must import the package amsmath by adding the next line to the preamble of your file, The appearance of the fraction may change depending on the context. Home > Latex > FAQ > Latex - FAQ > Latex binomial coefficient, Monday 9 December 2019, by Nadir Soualem. Usually, you find the special input possibilities on the reference page of the function in the Details section. (n-k)!} In Counting Principles, we studied combinations. Blog template built with Bootstrap and Spip by Nadir Soualem @mathlinux. In this video, you will learn how to write binomial coefficients in a LaTeX document. Binomial coefficients are common elements in mathematical expressions, the command to display them in LaTeXis very similar to the one used for fractions. In UnicodeMath Version 3, this uses the \choose operator ⒞ instead of the \atop operator ¦.

Identifying Binomial Coefficients. The Binomial coefficient also gives the value of the number of ways in which k items are chosen from among n objects i.e. \\binom{N} {k} What differs between \\dots and \\dotsc, with overleaf.com, the outputs are identical. b is the same type as n and k. If n and k are of different types, then b is returned as the nondouble type. A General Note: Binomial Coefficients If n n and r r are integers greater than or equal to 0 with n ≥r n ≥ r, then the binomial coefficient is Using fractions and binomial coefficients in an expression is straightforward. (n - k)!} b is the same type as n and k. If n and k are of different types, then b is returned as the nondouble type.
