a) Given f(x) = ln(x), use the Mean Value Theorem to show that for 0 <a <b, (b-a)/b < ln(b/a) < (b-a)/a. b)Hence show that ln(1.2) lies between 1/m and 1/n, with m, n consecutive integers to be determined.

a) f(x)=ln(x), so f'(x)=1/x. By MVT, f'(c) = (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a) = (ln b - ln a)/(b-a) = ln(b/a)/(b-a), where c lies between a and b.  Now, since 1/x is a decreasing function, and a < c < b, we get 1/...

How can we check that a numerical series is convergent?

There are many methods to check it, but the the most useful is: By comparison: if we find a series whose terms are greater than the given ones which is known to be convergent (an armonic series for exampl...

Prove that i^i is real.

Here we are examining the imaginary number ‘i’, defined as the square root (sqrt) of ‘-1’.We begin by using Euler’s identity:e^(iπ)+1=0e^(iπ)=-1Since sqrt(x) is the same as x^(1/2):(e^(iπ))^(...

Prove that the function f:ZxZ -> ZxZ defined by f(x,y) = (2x+y,x+y) is a bijetion.

Here, we must remember the definition of a bijection. To be bijective, a function must be both injective and surjective. For a function to be injective, we must have that f(a) = f(b) implies that a = b...
