Derive the following, for any integer k

In summary, the conversation is about someone asking for help with a math problem involving deriving equations for specific integers and values. The person being asked is hesitant to help because it appears to be a homework assignment. The person asking clarifies that it is not homework, but extra credit. However, they do not receive any help.

I really need someone to answer this by tomorrow 12/01 10:50 am pacific time...

1) Derive the following, for any integer k.
infinity
SUM OF: 1/(n^(2k)) = ((2(pi))^(2k)(-1)^(k+1)B2k ) /(2(2k)!)
n=1
where Bn is defined by the following, for |x| < 2(pi).
````````````infinity
(x)/(e^(x)-1) = SUM OF: (Bn x^n) / (n!)
````````````n=0

This one too please

4) Derive the following, for 0 < or equal x < or equal 2(pi)
infinity
Sum of: cos(nx)/n^2 = (3(x)^2-6(pi)(x)+2(pi)^2) / 12
n=1

This looks like homework to me.

(Especially when they are numbered "1." and "4."!)
 
  • #4
Can you at least make it more clear for us to even start? LOL? What are you talking about, sigma with top index infinity?
 
  • #5
don't mind the index... its there, because it sets the infinity on top of the SUM OF: and sets the n=1 down below it... any clues...
there not homework... extra credit

thanks for not helping anyways, this assignment is done with...
 

1. What does it mean to "derive" something?

Deriving something in mathematics means to find the mathematical expression or formula for a given function or equation. It involves using rules and techniques to manipulate the original expression and simplify it into a more useful form.

2. What is the significance of including "for any integer k" in the statement?

Including "for any integer k" means that the derived expression will be true for any whole number, positive or negative. It allows for a more general and comprehensive solution that can be applied to a wide range of values.

3. Can the derived expression be used for non-integer values of k?

No, the derived expression is specifically for integer values of k. If you need to find a solution for non-integer values, you will need to use a different method or modify the derived expression accordingly.

4. Is there a specific method for deriving expressions?

Yes, there are various methods for deriving expressions, such as the power rule, product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule. The specific method used will depend on the given function or equation and the desired outcome.

5. Can you provide an example of deriving an expression for any integer k?

Yes, for example, if we have the function f(x) = x^2 + k, the derived expression would be f'(x) = 2x. This means that for any integer value of k, the derivative of f(x) will always be 2x.
