    well, pi/2 for positive multiples of i or I am > 0, or -pi/2 for negative multiples of i, or I am < 0

    -pi/2! but how do i go from (2bi)/(2a+1)? do i just ignore the (2b/2a+1)?

    Isnt i on the y-axis? which would make the angle 0.

    Complex Analysis - Value of Arg[(z-1)/(z+1)] between -pi and pi

    "Arg z, the argument of z, defined for z ≠ 0, is the angle which the vector (originating from 0) to z makes with the positive x-axis. Thus Arg z is defined (modulo 2π) as that number θ for which cos θ = Re z/|z| ; sin θ = I am z/|z| ."

    Wow, am i rusty. I am so embarrassed to say that i don't know. I may be wrong, but i think i faintly remember a^2+b^2= 1. But i don't think its right. As for your other questions, i don't know. I am sorry, I am an idiot.

    Complex Analysis - Value of Arg[(z-1)/(z+1)] between -pi and pi

    Is this what I am supposed to do: (z-1)/(z+1) = (a + bi -1)/(a+bi +1) = (a2 - b2 +2abi -1)/ (a+bi+1)2 Is that right? If so, what do i do next, or if I am wrong, what am i doing wrong?

    Approximation of continuous functions by differentiable ones

    No, there was no limit defined in the problem, i typed it exactly how my prof. worded it. And you are right about my conclusion for the integral, had a brain cramp and figured that f is equal to 1, which would make my integrating very easy. So completely disregard that i said that.

    How does the f ' being uniformly continuous help me at reaching my answer? If the Interval is [a,b], then the f ' is continuous on the open intervals (a,c) and (c,b), how could i show that while f' may not be continuous at in the interval at c, a derivative still exists.

    That makes sense, but from what i thought i understood, the n is usually the order (or degree) of the polynomial. But i might be wrong.

    Algebra help - primitive roots and minimal polynomials

    From what i understand, a primitive root is a value that when taking to the power of the order of the polynomial, you will get 1 (mod 3 for this example) I don't know if this is right, but i get x^2+1 as a primitive root. Does that make sense. The order of the polynomial is 2, so (x^2+1)^2 = 1

    Prove the following limits when c ∈ N (analysis help):

    Im confused, isn't that what i did? I removed the radical in the numerator by multiplying it by the the square root + 1, but it then leaves me with a radical in the denominator. I still don't understand how it would give me for a) a limit of 1/c.

    Show that if a ∈ R, then: sup{r ∈ Q : r < a} = a

    Couldnt have said it better myself, the way i usually study math is by trying some examples, looking at the answer, and then learning from it. But there are no examples to learn from. So I am having a lot of trouble understanding this class, as apposed to other math classes.

    Ok i will, but if i find that i think its right, am i right, lol. I mean there must be a right answer, if i think mine is right, it doesn't mean I am right. Ok, now I am just confusing myself... Can you please just tell me if I am right or wrong, and if I am wrong ill go back and see what's wrong?

    Show that if n belongs to N, and: An: = (1 + 1/n)^n then An > An+1 for all natural n

    Since the right hand side is greater than 1, and the left hand side is greater than or equal to the right hand side, then the left hand side must be greater than 1. In which case, an+1 > an. Is this good?
  38. C

    Show that if n belongs to N, and: An: = (1 + 1/n)^n then An > An+1 for all natural n

    Ok, if i multiply the entire right hand side, i get (n^3 + 3n^2 + 3n + 2) / (n^3 + 3n^2 + 3n + 1). Which is greater than 1, so does that prove that (1+1/(n+1))^(n+1)/(1+1/n)^n > 1, and therefore an+1 > an?
  39. C

    Show that if n belongs to N, and: An: = (1 + 1/n)^n then An > An+1 for all natural n

    Right, that's what i meant to type: (1+1/(n+1))^(n+1)/(1+1/n)^n >= (1 - n / (n^2 + 2n + 1 )^n)*(1+1/(n+1)) So what do i do next :S. I really appreciate your help by the way.

    Huh? sorry you've lost me. I am not the brightest guy when it comes to this, but I am really trying to understand it. So i have: (original-->) (1 + 1/(n+1))/(1+1/n) >= (1 - n / (n^2 + 2n + 1 ))*(1+1/(n+1))?

    Show that if n belongs to N, and: An: = (1 + 1/n)^n then An > An+1 for all natural n

    Yes, i have bernoullis inequality right in front of me: (1+x)^n ≥ 1+ nx for all natural numbers. So would it be: [1 -1 / (n^2 + 2n + 1 )]^n ≥ 1 - n / (n^2 + 2n + 1 ) and what happens to the other 1+1/(n+1) from the original equation?

    Find the supremum and infimum of S, where S is the set S = {√n − [√n]}

    So would i be able to use the same reasoning for the supremum: By definition of {x}, {x} < 1 since x - [x] = {x}, therefore {x} never reaches 1. So 1 is an upper bound. Let b be an upper bound where b < 1. If you take ?, (what value would i be able to use here to prove this, since 1 isn't...
