Allenkee: Please help me prove that
Log(1+2+3)= Log 1+ Log2+ Log3

I did it by opening the bracket to get exactly what is at the right side but was told t'was wrong.


mathematically wrong.

Please can someone help with this question. If (Xn) diverges and (Yn ) is bounded, prove that (Xn+Yn) diverges. Thanks.
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Nobody: 11:38am On Aug 09, 2014
Reasons why some questions on this forum might not be /are not solved includes

a) the poster never try to help others on their questions , but wants others to help on his ( help is reciprocal . don't be inconsiderate / selfish )

b) the poster always posts too-long questions which is hard to type out solutions

c) most of gurus / those with more competence hands to handle the question are offline /busy

d) the notion of " how much will they even pay me in sacrificing my time ,Mb & energy in solving some one else's problem .

e) otherwise ...


so guys lets take note of the above points & do something about it .

Pls ooooo, let someone help me with dis log9(2a^2+a+10)=1/2+log9(a^2+a-5/3) what are the values of a? {3, -5}

NB: I wnt to knw how to get d answers in d bracket.

Log9(2a²+a+10) = 1/2 + log9(a²+a-5/3)
Log9(2a²+a+10)-log9(a²+a-5/3) = 1/2
log9 [(2a²+a+10)/(a²+a-5/3) ] = log99 ½
crossing out d log nd cross multiply
2a²+a+10 = 3a²+3a-5
a²+2a-15 = 0
Solving d quadratic eqn
a = -5 & 3

Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Arithmetic(m): 11:48pm On Aug 09, 2014
Kendzyma: rt(x^2+ax-1)+rt(x^2+bx-1)=rt(a)+rt(b)
rt(x^2+ax-1)=rt(a)
x^2+ax-1=a
x^2+a(x-1)=1..........eq 1
rt(x^2+bx-1)=rt(b)
x^2+bx-1=b
x^2+b(x-1)=1........eq 2
dividing eq 1 by eq 2
1+a/b=1
a=0
....subtituting a=0 in equation 1
x=+/-1
subtituting x=-1 in equation 2

b=0
subtituting x=1 in equation 2
b=0
hence b=a
You got one out of the two ans. x=1, but x is not equal to -1, try substituting into the ques. Infact u enlightened me, never thought of this method, should I give the 2nd ans. or you still want to try, you can help out 'cos I'm still working on the solution.

Sorry for d CSC questions, but dis 1 wan giv me headache:

Write a program in Visual Basic to output d first 100 terms in Fibonacci sequence; which is generated with an arithmetic series.

In d Fibonacci sequence, a succeeding term is d sum of its 2 preceeding terms:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...

Pls help, thanks.

Dear nairalanders help me solve this.
Given y= x^x what is f'(x)?
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Nobody: 1:25pm On Aug 10, 2014
ValentineMary: Dear nairalanders help me solve this.
Given y= x^x what is f'(x)?

take natural logarithm of both sides

=> lny =xlnx

differentiating implicitly wrt. x

we have 1/y dy/dx = lnx + x/x

=> dy/dx= f '( x) = y ( lnx +1 )

but y=xx

hence f ' (x) = xx (lnx +1 )

that's it

ok.......that will be later

make your question clear ..or better still snap & post ...wanna give 1 of my guys to try help out.

Arithmetic: 1)¥(x2+ax-1)+¥(x2+bx-1)=¥a+¥b.
2)¥(2x+2+5)+¥(5.2x-9)=¥(3.2x+2+21).
Find x. NB:Let ¥ rep. square root.

There are two answers ->a natural number(ofcourse x=1€N),
->x=[{(¥a+¥b)2+4}/{(¥a-¥b)2-4}]. ¥ still denotes sq.root. Thanks.
No need for no 2'solution. I just gave d ques. except if u have an unfamiliarised solution...

Oxide65: Please can someone help with this question. If (Xn) diverges and

if x(n) diverges then Lim[x(n)] →(+-)∞ as n→(+-)∞
and if y(n) converges then Lim[y(n)]=a as n→(+-)∞ where a∈R

then

Lim[x(n)+y(n)]=Lim[x(n)] + Lim[y(n)]
=Lim[x(n)] + a
=Lim[x(n)+a]
=Lim[x+a] where x→(+-)∞
=Lim[x]

which is divergent!

Thanks efficiencie. But the hypothesis only says (Yn) is bounded So we do not know if it converges. About the divergence of (Xn) Sorry I dint specify it diverges to positive infinity. Thanks I'm looking forward to seeing your reply.

I'm very grateful Lebesgue. That helps alot. Could u Please give me the name n author of that text? And are u an analyst?

You are most welcome.

Oxide65: Could u Please give me the name n author of that text?
What text? If you are referring to the proof, I didn't copy it from a text. I wrote it myself!

Oxide65: And are u an analyst?
No, I am not. I am an undergraduate studying Mathematics, and I intend to be an algebraist.
