Solve algebraically for a and b: 6a+b=16, 5a-2b=19

Multiply equation 1) by 2 : 12a+2b=32. There are alternate signs of b and so therefore add the equations together: 17a=51. Solve for a: a=3. Sub a into one of the equations to find b: 5*3-2b=19b=-2. The f...

Using the limit definition of the derivative, find the derivative of f(x)=sin(3x) at x=2π

First, we need to find the derivative f'(x) for all x, and then we will substitute x=2π into the function we find. To do this, we need to set up our limit:
f'(x) = lim [sin(3(x+h))-sin(3x)]/h as h-&...

Show by induction that sum_n(r*3^(r-1))=1/4+(3^n/4)*(2n-1) for n>0

Base Case n=1sum_1(r3^(r-1))=13^0=1=1/4+(3^1/4)(2-1)=1/4+3/4=1
Assume true for n=ki.e. sum_k(r
3^(r-1))=(3^k/4)(2k-1)
then for n=k+1sum_(k+1)(r
3^(r-1))= sum_k(r3^(r...
