does anyone know where i can find a decent bank of convergence and taylor series problems and solutions? my calc book is a bit lacking, and i don't have the solutions manual.
Apostol, Calculus, has many good quality exercises and answers (but not worked solutions) for most of them. Spivak, Calculus, has some routine exercises and many more theoretical problems; a separate solutions manual is readily available.
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
Hello,
This is the attachment, the steps to solution are pretty clear. I guess there is a mistake on the highlighted part that prompts this thread.
Ought to be ##3^{n+1} (n+2)-6## and not ##3^n(n+2)-6##. Unless i missed something, on another note, i find the first method (induction) better than second one (method of differences).
