    I How do I use induction more rigorously when making Taylor expansions?

    When I do Taylor expansions, I take the first 3 or 4 derivatives of a function and try to induce a pattern, and then evaluate it at some value a (often 0) to find the coefficients in the polynomial expansion. This is how my textbook does it, and how several other online sources do it as well...

    Multiplication -- prove this one by induction

    Prove by induction that for any natural numbers n and m , n x (m++)= (n x m) + n The base case, n=0 gives 0 x m++=(0 x m) +0 gives 0=0 Now assume n x (m++) = (n x m) +n For n++ we get n++(m++)=((n++)m) + n++ from this point I am stuck, how can I prove both sides are the same?

    Understanding the Interaction Between a Charged Rod and a Metal Sphere

    (A) incorrect, because opposite signs attract, and the sphere would've been drawn to the charged rod. (B) correct, according to the answer key, but if the charge of the sphere and the charge of the rod are the same, then wouldn't they repel each other? I'm confused as to why this is the correct...
