Homework Statement
Find the constants p,q and r such that
2y2 - 9y+14 = p(y-1)(y-2)+q(y-1) +r
2) Deduce that (y+1)4 - y^4 < 4(y+1)^3
The attempt at a solution
Well I expanded the right side
and just tried comparing the two equations..
so I got p =2 ,r =10, q=-3
is this the correct way of doing this?
2) (y+1)4 - y^4 - 4(y+1)^3<0
I did this first, now I don't know where to carry it.
