Could you please be a bit more specific about your second line? The k here means the k-th derivatives. The power of (x-1)(x+1) is a fix n, and I don't think I'm supposed to do an induction on that. f^(r)(x) has to be a pretty messy function, is there a clear way to take derivative out of that?

I tried to prove by induction on r. But I'm not sure how to express the k-th derivative of f(x). r=0 or r=n are special cases, they clearly holds. My problem is how to generalize it.

Let f (x) = (x^2 − 1)^n . Prove (by induction on r) that for r = 0, 1, 2, · · · , n, f^ (r) (x)(the r-th derivative of f(x)) is a polynomial whose value is 0 at no fewer than r distinct points of (−1, 1). I'm thinking about expanding f(x) as the sum of the (n+1) terms, then it's easier to...

Thanks, I got it!

Thanks for your reply. I think clearly y=x is not uniformly convergent, so I guess kn(x) isn't either? About the second one, I tried to work with the epsilon-delta definition, but the result seemed still depend on n. Could you please be a bit more specific how you would do it?

1.kn (x) = 0 for x ≤ n x − n, x ≥ n, Is kn(x) uniformly convergent on R? I can show that it is uniformly convergent on any closed bounded interval [a,b], but I don't think it is on R. Could anyone please give me some hints how to prove it? 2.Fix 0 < η < 1. Suppose now...

An expression of the compactness theorem for sets of sentences is that: let T be a set of sentences in L. Then T has a model iff every finite subset of T has a model. Could anyone give me some hints how to prove this? The first direction is straightforward: every model of T is a model of...

Homework Statement Show that if h is continuous on [0, ∞) and uniformly continuous on [a, ∞), for some positive constant a, then h is uniformly continuous on [0, ∞). Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I'm thinking of using the epsilon-delta definition of continuity...

Thanks. What if I change Q into all non-positive rational numbers, then it has a maximum. Would that work? Also, that's only one l-structure. Could you give me some hints about the other two possible l-structure?

Thanks a lot for your help. I can only think of <Q, >>, which would make 1,2 true and 3 false. And I'm not sure that I've interpreted 3 correctly. Could you explain it a little bit more please?

1. Homework Statement Let L = {P } be a first-order language with a binary relation symbol P as only non-logical symbol. By exhibiting three suitable L-structures prove (informally) that no two of the following sentences logically implies the other (i) ∀x∀y∀z(P (x, y) → (P (y, z) → P (x...

thanks, I got it!

I can write it as the sum of (z^n)*(1+w^n+w^2n)/n!, n from 0 to infinity. But I'm still not sure how to simplify 1+w^n+w^2n from 1+w+w^2=0. Could you explain it in a bit more details? Thanks a lot!

I've got them. Thanks a lot!

There are five statements: (a) If n^2 an → 0 as n → ∞ then ∑ an converges. (b) If n an→ 0 as n → ∞ then ∑an converges. (c) If ∑an converges, then ∑((an )^2)converges. (d) If ∑ an converges absolutely, then ∑((an )^2) converges. (e) If ∑an converges absolutely, then |an | < 1/n for all...

thanks for the reply, but I'm still not sure about which non-convergent sequence to choose, would something like 1/n work? I just don't know how to use the complete norm here.

I'm working on a proof to show there exists an embedding of the real projective plane P R2 in R4. The initial setup is as follows: Let S2 denote the unit sphere in R3 given by S2 = {(x, y, z) ∈ R3 : x2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1}, and let f : S2 → R4 be defined by f (x, y, z) = (x2 − y 2 , xy, yz, zx)...

1.Let R be a ring such that Z ⊂ R ⊂ Q. Show that R is a principal ideal domain. We show that Z is a principal ideal domain, so every ideal in Z which is also in R is principal. But I'm not sure how to use that R is contained in Q. 2. Proof that X^4+1 is reducible in Z/pZ [X] for every...

I've recently encountered some forms of the second and third isomorphism theorem, but I don't quite get them. Could anyone explain in a bit of details please? I guess my thought was not in the right direction or something. (Second isomorphism theorem) Let A be a subring and I an ideal of the...

Thank you very much for your reply. I have a much clearer picture in my mind. Just one more question, to find the connected component for X = {(z, w) ∈ C2 ; z not equal to w} with the topology induced from C2, we still need to check to see if X is disconnected right? But it's hard to find two...

I'm not quite clear about this notion. Could anyone explain a little bit for me? Here is the definition: Let a be an arbitrary point in X . Then there exists a largest connected subset of X containing a, i.e. a set Ca such that: • a ∈ Ca and Ca is connected; • for any connected subset S of...
