1. ### Finding sum of infinite series

[Please excuse the screengrabs of the fomulae - I'll get around to learning TeX someday!] 1. Homework Statement Find the sum of this series (answer included - not the one I'm getting) The Attempt at a Solution So I'm trying to sum this series as a telescoping sum. I decomposed the fraction...
2. ### Breakdown of a Logistic Equation

Homework Statement I feel so stuck. Given the Logistic Equation: $$\frac{dP}{dt}=kP(1-\frac{P}{A})$$ a.). Find the equilibrium solutions by setting $$\frac{dP}{dt}=0$$ and solving for P. b.). The equation is separable. Separate it and write the separated form of the equation. c.). Use partial...
3. ### Partial fraction decomposition exercise 2

Homework Statement Hello! Here is my second post on the subject partial fraction decomposition. The subject looks pretty easy to learn, but when I try exercises, I do not get to the correct answer. Please, take a look at the exercise below and help me to see my mistakes. Homework Equations...
4. ### Partial fraction decomposition using matrix

Homework Statement Hello! I am doing a chapter on partial fraction decomposition, and it seems I do not understand it correctly. Here is the exercise doing which I get wrong answers. Please, take a look at the way I proceed and, please, let me know what is wrong in my understanding. Homework...
5. ### Telescopic sum issues, cant get Sk

1. Homework Statement Find a formula for the nth partial sum of the series and use it to find the series' sum if the series converges Homework Equations 3/(1*2*3) + 3,/(2*3*4) + 3/(3*4*5) +......+ 3/n(n+1)(n+2) The Attempt at a Solution the first try, i tried using partial fraction which...
6. ### Definite integral involving partial fractions

Homework Statement Homework Equations trigonometric identities The Attempt at a Solution I did a trig substitution of u=tan(θ/2) and from that I could substitute cos(θ) = 1-u2/1+u2 dθ = 2/(1+u2) du = 1/2 sec2(θ/2) dθ I simplified a bit and changed the bounds to get 2du/(5u2 + 1)(1 + u2)2...
7. ### Very long Taylor expansion/partial fraction decomposition

Homework Statement I want to express the following expression in its Taylor expansion about x = 0: $$F(x) = \frac{x^{15}}{(1-x)(1-x^2)(1-x^3)(1-x^4)(1-x^5)}$$ The Attempt at a Solution First I tried to rewrite the function in partial fractions (its been quite a while since I've last...
8. ### Integration by Partial Fractions Help

Homework Statement ∫ [x^(3)+4] / [x^(2)+4] dx Homework Equations N/A The Attempt at a Solution I know that the fraction is improper, so I used long division to rewrite it as x+(-4x+4)/[x^(2)+4]. Given the form S(x)+R(x)/Q(x), Q(x) is a distinct irreducible quadratic factor [x^(2)+4]. I used...
