[ \left|\frac3n+12n+5 - \frac32\right| = \left|\frac2(3n+1) - 3(2n+5)2(2n+5)\right| = \left|\frac-132(2n+5)\right| = \frac132(2n+5) < \frac134n ] Given (\varepsilon>0), choose (N > \frac134\varepsilon). Then for (n\ge N), (\frac134n<\varepsilon), so the difference (<\varepsilon). QED. Chapter 10 – Continuity and Limits Exercise 10.4 Show (f(x)=x^2) is continuous at (x=2).
Assume (\sqrt2 = p/q) in lowest terms ((p,q\in\mathbbZ), (\gcd(p,q)=1)). Squaring: (2q^2 = p^2 \Rightarrow p^2) even (\Rightarrow p) even. Write (p=2k). Then (2q^2 = 4k^2 \Rightarrow q^2 = 2k^2 \Rightarrow q) even. Contradiction since (\gcd(p,q)\ge 2). Hence (\sqrt2) irrational. Chapter 2 – Natural Numbers and Induction Exercise 2.3 Prove by induction: (1 + 2 + \dots + n = \fracn(n+1)2) for all (n\in\mathbbN).
: 3375. Chapter 9 – Sequences and Series Exercise 9.1 Prove (\lim_n\to\infty \frac3n+12n+5 = \frac32). Concise Introduction To Pure Mathematics Solutions Manual
Find remainder when (x^100) is divided by (x^2-1).
Find all cube roots of (-8).
Case 1: first digit odd (4 choices: 1,3,5,7,9? Actually 5 odds, but careful: first digit ≠0, so even allowed but handled separately). Better systematic: Choose positions for the two even digits: (\binom42=6) ways.
Let (y=x^2): (y^2-5y+4=(y-1)(y-4)=(x^2-1)(x^2-4)=(x-1)(x+1)(x-2)(x+2)). Chapter 10 – Continuity and Limits Exercise 10
Solve (3x \equiv 5 \pmod11).
