Homework Statement
How would you go about proving that the functions
F(x)=\frac{2}{\pi}\arctan\Big(\frac{x}{a}\Big), x \geq 0
with a > 0
and
G(x)=1-\exp(-\lambda x),x\geq0
with \lambda>0meet only at one point for some x > 0
The Attempt at a Solution
At x=0, F and G takes the...
Any point in 3-dimensional space
Is is possible to write any point {\bf x}\in \mathbb{R}^{3} as a linear combination of vectors {\bf v_{j}} inside the unit ball over \mathbb{R} given that
\sum_{j}c_{j}{\bf v_{j}}
can be made arbitrarily small?
My approach was letting...
I am trying to find the second derivative of the function
C:[0,1]^{2} \rightarrow [0,1] ,\quad \mbox{defined by }C=C(u,v)
evaluated at
u=F(x)=1-\exp(-\lambda_{1} x),\quad \lambda_{1} \geq 0
and
v=G(x)=1-\exp(-\lambda_{2} x),\quad \lambda_{2} \geq 0
First I work out the first...
