    Calculus ## G(y, z)=z\frac{\partial}{\partial z}F(y, z)-F(y, z) ##?

    Correct, it's pointless because it equals ## 0 ## anyways. I just feel relieved a lot more since I don't have to include the ## sec(x) ## function on part b), and it makes the proof a lot shorter than before.

    Calculus ## G(y, z)=z\frac{\partial}{\partial z}F(y, z)-F(y, z) ##?

    Also, isn't it ## ny^{n-1}y'=nC\frac{sin(nx+K)}{cos^2(nx+K)} ##?

    Calculus ## G(y, z)=z\frac{\partial}{\partial z}F(y, z)-F(y, z) ##?

    a) Observe that ## \frac{\partial}{\partial z}F(y, z)=y^{n-1}\cdot \frac{2z}{2\sqrt{y^2+z^2}}=\frac{zy^{n-1}}{\sqrt{y^2+z^2}} ##. This means ## G(y, z)=\frac{z^2\cdot y^{n-1}}{\sqrt{y^2+z^2}}-y^{n-1}\cdot \sqrt{y^2+z^2}=\frac{z^2\cdot...

    Is "College Algebra" really just high school "Algebra II"?

    Yes, because some students haven't taken Algebra 2 yet but they have already entered college, and this is why colleges label the name of Algebra 2 as 'College Algebra' to sound more difficult, but in reality, it's the same as Algebra 2 in high school. I don't know too much about other countries...

    Proofs about the second-order linear differential equation?

    Okay, here's my revised proof on part (i). Consider the second-order linear differential equation ## \frac{d^2u}{dx^2}+\frac{fu}{2}=0, f=f(x) ##. Then ## u_{i}''+\frac{fu}{2}=0\implies u_{i}''=-\frac{f}{2}u ##, so ## -\frac{2}{f}u_{i}''=u_{i} ##. Given that ## w=\frac{u_{2}}{u_{1}} ##, we have...

    Proofs about the second-order linear differential equation?

    I see where you got the ## -\frac{2}{f}u_{i}''=u_{i} ## from. But I don't understand why/how does ## w=\frac{u_{2}}{u_{1}}=\frac{u_{2}''}{u_{1}''} ##. And by starting both differentiations of ## \omega ##, do you mean to take up to second derivatives of ## \omega ##?

    Proofs about the second-order linear differential equation?

    Proof: (i) Consider the second-order linear differential equation ## \frac{d^2u}{dx^2}+\frac{fu}{2}=0, f=f(x) ##. Then ## u''+\frac{f}{2}u=0\implies r^2+\frac{f}{2}=0 ##, so ## r=\pm \sqrt{\frac{f}{2}}i ##. This implies ## u_{1}=c_{1}cos(\sqrt{\frac{f}{2}}x) ## and ##...

    Can anyone please verify/confirm these derivatives?

    Note that ## \frac{\partial F}{\partial x}=\frac{2x}{2\sqrt{x^2+y'^2}}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y'^2}}, \frac{\partial F}{\partial y}=0, \frac{\partial F}{\partial y'}=\frac{2y'}{2\sqrt{x^2+y'^2}}=\frac{y'}{\sqrt{x^2+y'^2}} ##. Now we have ## \frac{dF}{dx}=\frac{\partial F}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial...

    Are these the correct expressions for ## dF/dy' ##?

    I don't know either. So what should the book normally express these primes then, instead? Also, if ## exp(y') ## mean ## e^{y'} ##. Then the expression for ## dF/dy' ## is ## dF/dy'=e^{y'} ##?

    Prove that there are infinitely many primes of the form ## 6k+1 ##?

    But how should I verify that ## N\equiv 1\pmod {6} ##? And I think I made some mistakes in my previous proof attempts, because ## p\mid N ## and ## p\mid (2p_{1}\dotsb p_{n})^{2} ## implies that ## p\mid (N-(2p_{1}\dotsb p_{n})^{2}) ##, so ## p\mid 3 ##.

Consider the integer ## N=4p_{1}^{2}p_{2}^{2}\dotsb p_{n}^{2}+3=(2p_{1}p_{2}\dotsb p_{n})^{2}+3 ##. Since ## N ## is odd, it follows that ## N ##...

    No. I do not know the structure of finite abelian groups. I do not know the characters of cyclic groups are. You said that my group of ## G ## is isomorphic to ## C_{6}\times C_{2} ##, which are the two cyclic groups of order ## 6 ## and ## 2 ##. But how did you get these?
