    The binomial series coefficient

    Homework Statement Use the binomial series to expand the function as a power series. 1/(2+x)3 I have attached an image. I understand until the end of the second line. I don't see the reasoning used to follow through to the third line. the (-1)^n is because the sign alternates becoming...

    Integrate by Parts: arctan(√x)dx Explained

    Homework Statement ∫arctan(√x)dx. Using the substitution √x=t: ∫arctan(√x)dx = ∫arctan(t)dt2 This is what I've got written in a solution manual. I don't see why the dt would be squared. Could anyone care explaining me? thanks

    Using the ratio test to figure if the series is convergent

    By the ratio test I'm left with: 2 x limx->\infty |nn/(n+1)n+1)| which is the same as what i previously wrote: 2 x limx->\infty [n/(n+1)]n*1/(n+1). Dividing by the largest power of the polynomial in the denominator: 2 x limx->\infty [1/(1+1/n)]n*1/(n+1).- so it becomes: 2 x limx->\infty...

    Using the ratio test to figure if the series is convergent

    Homework Statement \sum ftom n=1 to \infty (-2)n/nn. The Attempt at a Solution limn->\infty | (-2)n+1/(n+1)n+1) x nn/(-2)n | = |-2|limn->\infty |(n/n+1)n*(1/n+1) | If it were only (n/n+1) then would the answer be 2e? Either way, how do you sole this the way it is?

    How do I simplify fractions with exponents?

    (1/2)^x+(1/3)^x... which is the same as flipping them over and making the exponential -x. cool

    How do I simplify fractions with exponents?

    Homework Statement (2x+3x)/6x = 2-x+3-x I've tried moving the 6 above, splitting it up and so... but i can't figure how to do it. It must be pretty simple, but I am just not seeing it. all helps appreciated!

    Solving a differential equation w/ undetermined coefficients

    Without knowing about the form of the complementary solution at first, we'd figure that if G(x)=x2ekx then the particular solution should be something like this: (Ax2+Bx+c)ekx?? And say that you then worked out the complementary solution and it was: c1er1x+c2er1x, then the last term "c"...

    Surds in polar form of imaginary number

    4[cos(-∏/6)+isin(-∏/6)]*2[cos(3∏/4)+isin(3∏/4)] = 4[cos(11∏/6)+isin(11∏/6)]*2[cos(3∏/4)+isin(3∏/4)] ?
