Given h(x) = 9^x + 9 and g(x) = 10*3^x, find {x | h(x) < g(x)}.

This question is asking to find the values for x, such that h(x) is strictly less than g(x). We can write this as 9^x + 9 &lt; 10 3^x and solve for x as follows. 9^x + 9 &lt; 10 3^x =&gt; 3^(2x) - 10 3^x + 9...

Prove the following identity: (1+cos⁡(x)+cos⁡(2x))/(sin⁡(x)+sin⁡(2x) )=cot⁡(x)

Straight away we notice that two trigonometric terms on the left hand side have 2x but there are no 2x on the right hand side therefore we realise that this question will require double angle formulae. If yo...

Given 1/2 + 1 + 2 + 2^2 + ... + 2^10 = a*2^b + c, find the values of a,b,c.

Consider the Left-Hand-Side (LHS) of the equation first. LHS: 1/2 + 1 + 2 + 2^2 + ... + 2^10. We identify this as a geometric series by noticing that dividing any term u_(n+1) by the preceding term n the res...
