    Inequality
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the validity of the inequality 0 ≤ ∑(k=0 to n) (1/((k+1)²(n-k+1))) ≤ 1/√(n+1) for all natural numbers n. Participants are seeking clarification on whether this inequality holds true. Additionally, there is a request for a different representation of the term 1/((k+1)²(n-k+1)), specifically in the form of a rational expression involving k and constants. The conversation highlights the mathematical exploration of inequalities and the manipulation of algebraic expressions. The inquiry reflects a deeper interest in understanding mathematical relationships and proofs.

Is this inequality true ??

0\leq \sum_{k=0}^{n} \frac{1}{(k+1)^2 (n-k+1)} \leq \frac{1}{\sqrt{n+1}} for all natural numbers n

Is it true ??

Thanks

Can you write \frac{1}{(k+1)^2(n-k+1)} differently? You want something on the form \frac{a}{k+1} + \frac{bk+c}{(k+1)^2} + \frac{d}{n-k+1} .
 


It really work thanks .

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
