    Need help w/ Fibonnaci and Golden Ratio proof

    It's not that simple. I tried fracturing it many times but every time it just seem to leave to the same result.

    Need help w/ Fibonnaci and Golden Ratio proof

    Let F_n and F_n+1 be successive Fibonnaci numbers. Then |(F_n+1)/(F_n) - Phi | < 1/(2(F_n)^2) Where Phi is the Golden ratio.

    Is sqrt(n!) Irrational for n > 2?

    Thanks I got it. But I did it a bit differently so proof as follows: Let n!=(2k)! Let's name the set N={1,2,3,...,k,...p,...,2k} basically all the factors of n! p is a prime between k and 2k which is true by Chebyshev (we're not ask to show this thank god) -First we show that p does not...

    Is sqrt(n!) Irrational for n > 2?

    Let n>2. Where n is integer show that sqrt(n!) is irrational. I am supposed to use the Chebyshev theorem that for n>2. There is a prime p such that n<p<2n. So far I am up to inductive hypothesis. Assume it holds for k then show it holds for k+1. Well if k! is irrational==> k!=...

    Probability and Stats permutation problem

    Homework Statement So here's the problem. There is an elevator w/ 5 people equally likely to get off at any of the 7 floor. What is the probability that no two passengers will get off the same floor. Homework Equations The probability of event should be P(E)= number of event...

    Show the Cube root of x is uniform continuous on R.

    I think I got the proof, but want to make sure it's correct. let z=(x^(2/3)+(xy)^(1/3)+y^(2/3)) then z>3 since x and y are in (1,inf) => 1/z <1/3 It actually works on (-inf, -1) as wellso again |x^1/3 - y^1/3| = |x-y|/z < d/3 So we can pick d=3*e. Also since we know x^1/3 is cont. on [-1,1]...

    Show the Cube root of x is uniform continuous on R.

    minimum value should be x=1, y=1 in (1,inf) so (x^(2/3)+(xy)^(1/3)+y^(2/3))= 3. But I don't know what you are trying to lead me to...

    Show the Cube root of x is uniform continuous on R.

    Sorry, can't use the def. of derivative yet at this point. Also even if I can, and the derivative is bounded on (1,inf) is unbounded as x-> 0 since it looks like a verticle line.

    Show the Cube root of x is uniform continuous on R.

    that's exactly how I wanted to prove it. By showing it is uniformly cont. on (-inf, -1) U (1, inf) and given it is uniformly cont. on [-1,1] since it's compact. But even when I choose x,y say from (1,inf) I still get left off with d=e*(x^2/3 +(xy)^1/3 +y^2/3) Which doesn't help to show...

    Calculators Choosing the Best Graphing Calculator: TI-89 vs. TI-85 Comparison

    I recommend downloading a grapher on your computer. The online time I ever used a graphing calculator was at home anyways. It's much cheaper too and you can even find some on a smartphone.
