Oh yes, its \frac{1}{x} Nevertheless, the explanation was beneficial. Thanks guys.

Hey guys, I see now...Thanks! Appreciate it.

Awesome. Thanks heaps.

Hey, Yep its my mistake. Its supposed to be x2-y2=1 Thanks for pointing out.

Hello, I am trying to solve a Pell's equation X2 + 2Y2 =1 I understand that the (3,2) is a fundamental solution to the equation. However, I am having difficulty to obtain the recurrence formula in order to generate further solutions. Can anybody help?

How do you deduce that a1 - \sqrt{N} b1 = a2 - \sqrt{N}b2 to be a1=a2 and b1=b2?

hi all, I am suppose to compare the area of curve y=x2 with rectangles beneath that curve to show that, 1/2 + 1/3 + ...+ 1/n < log(n+1) i believe this some sort of harmonic series. Is there a way around this problem? Regards

Hi, I have a problem with splitting x4 + 1 into real quadratic factors. How can this be done? Cheers.
