Use mathematical induction to prove that, for all positive integers \(n\),

\[ \sum_{r=1}^{n} (3r-2)2^{r-1} = (3n-5)2^n + 5. \]
查看答案詳解

解題

Let \(P(n)\) be the statement \(\sum_{r=1}^{n} (3r-2)2^{r-1} = (3n-5)2^n + 5\).

**Base case:**
For \(n=1\):
LHS \(= (3(1)-2)2^{1-1} = 1 \cdot 2^0 = 1\).
RHS \(= (3(1)-5)2^1 + 5 = -2(2) + 5 = -4 + 5 = 1\).
Since LHS = RHS, the statement \(P(1)\) is true.

**Inductive step:**
Assume \(P(k)\) is true for some positive integer \(k\), so
\[ \sum_{r=1}^{k} (3r-2)2^{r-1} = (3k-5)2^k + 5. \]

Now consider the sum for \(n=k+1\):
\[ \sum_{r=1}^{k+1} (3r-2)2^{r-1} = \left[ \sum_{r=1}^{k} (3r-2)2^{r-1} \right] + (3(k+1)-2)2^{(k+1)-1} \]
\[ = (3k-5)2^k + 5 + (3k+1)2^k \]
\[ = 2^k [ (3k-5) + (3k+1) ] + 5 \]
\[ = 2^k [ 6k - 4 ] + 5 \]
\[ = 2^k \cdot 2(3k-2) + 5 \]
\[ = (3k-2)2^{k+1} + 5 \]
\[ = (3(k+1)-5)2^{k+1} + 5. \]

This is the form of the formula with \(n = k+1\).

**Conclusion:**
Since \(P(1)\) is true, and the truth of \(P(k)\) implies the truth of \(P(k+1)\), by mathematical induction the statement \(P(n)\) is true for all positive integers \(n\).

題目 2 · Structured Proof and Calculations
10.7
The matrix \(\mathbf{A}\) is defined by \(\mathbf{A} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 1 & 4 \end{pmatrix}\). Under the transformation represented by \(\mathbf{A}\), the line \(y = mx + c\) is mapped onto the line \(y = 2x - 5\). Find the values of the constants \(m\) and \(c\).
查看答案詳解

解題

Let \(\begin{pmatrix} x' \\ y' \end{pmatrix}\) be the image of \(\begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix}\) under the transformation \(\mathbf{A}\).

We have:
\[ \begin{pmatrix} x' \\ y' \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 1 & 4 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ mx+c \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 2x - (mx+c) \\ x + 4(mx+c) \end{pmatrix} \]

This gives the parametric equations:
1) \(x' = (2-m)x - c \implies x = \frac{x'+c}{2-m}\) (assuming \(m \neq 2\))
2) \(y' = (1+4m)x + 4c\)

Substitute \(x\) into the equation for \(y'\):
\[ y' = (1+4m)\frac{x'+c}{2-m} + 4c \]
\[ y' = \left( \frac{1+4m}{2-m} \right) x' + \frac{c(1+4m)}{2-m} + 4c \]

We are given that the image line is \(y' = 2x' - 5\). Comparing coefficients:

For the gradient:
\[ \frac{1+4m}{2-m} = 2 \implies 1+4m = 4-2m \implies 6m = 3 \implies m = \frac{1}{2} \]

For the intercept:
\[ \frac{c(1+4m)}{2-m} + 4c = -5 \]

Substituting \(m = \frac{1}{2}\):
\[ \frac{c(1+2)}{2-0.5} + 4c = -5 \implies \frac{3c}{1.5} + 4c = -5 \implies 2c + 4c = -5 \implies 6c = -5 \implies c = -\frac{5}{6} \]

題目 3 · Structured Proof and Calculations

The roots of the cubic equation \(x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x - 4 = 0\) are \(\alpha, \beta, \gamma\).

(i) Find the values of \(\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2\) and \(\alpha^3 + \beta^3 + \gamma^3\).

(ii) Find a cubic equation with integer coefficients whose roots are \(\frac{1}{\alpha^2}\), \(\frac{1}{\beta^2}\), and \(\frac{1}{\gamma^2}\).
查看答案詳解

解題

(i) From the given equation, we have:
\(\sum \alpha = 3\)
\(\sum \alpha\beta = 5\)
\(\alpha\beta\gamma = 4\)

We calculate \(\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2\):
\[ \alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 = (\sum \alpha)^2 - 2\sum \alpha\beta = 3^2 - 2(5) = 9 - 10 = -1. \]

To find \(\sum \alpha^3\), we use the relation \(\alpha^3 - 3\alpha^2 + 5\alpha - 4 = 0\). Summing over the three roots:
\[ \sum \alpha^3 - 3\sum \alpha^2 + 5\sum \alpha - 12 = 0 \]
\[ \sum \alpha^3 - 3(-1) + 5(3) - 12 = 0 \]
\[ \sum \alpha^3 + 3 + 15 - 12 = 0 \implies \sum \alpha^3 = -6. \]

(ii) Let the roots of the new equation be \(u = \frac{1}{\alpha^2}\), \(v = \frac{1}{\beta^2}\), \(w = \frac{1}{\gamma^2}\).

First, find \(u+v+w\):
\[ u+v+w = \frac{1}{\alpha^2} + \frac{1}{\beta^2} + \frac{1}{\gamma^2} = \frac{\alpha^2\beta^2 + \beta^2\gamma^2 + \gamma^2\alpha^2}{\alpha^2\beta^2\gamma^2} \]
We know \(\alpha^2\beta^2\gamma^2 = (\alpha\beta\gamma)^2 = 16\).
For the numerator:
\[ \sum \alpha^2\beta^2 = (\sum \alpha\beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta\gamma\sum \alpha = 5^2 - 2(4)(3) = 25 - 24 = 1. \]
Thus, \(u+v+w = \frac{1}{16}\).

Second, find \(uv+vw+wu\):
\[ uv+vw+wu = \frac{1}{\alpha^2\beta^2} + \frac{1}{\beta^2\gamma^2} + \frac{1}{\gamma^2\alpha^2} = \frac{\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2}{\alpha^2\beta^2\gamma^2} = \frac{-1}{16}. \]

Third, find \(uvw\):
\[ uvw = \frac{1}{\alpha^2\beta^2\gamma^2} = \frac{1}{16}. \]

The cubic equation is given by:
\[ y^3 - (u+v+w)y^2 + (uv+vw+wu)y - uvw = 0 \]
\[ y^3 - \frac{1}{16}y^2 - \frac{1}{16}y - \frac{1}{16} = 0 \]
Multiplying by 16 to obtain integer coefficients:
\[ 16y^3 - y^2 - y - 1 = 0. \]

(i) Show that

\[ \frac{1}{(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)} - \frac{1}{(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)} = \frac{6}{(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)}. \]

(ii) Use the method of differences to find \(\sum_{r=1}^n \frac{1}{(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)}\) in terms of \(n\).

(iii) Deduce the sum to infinity of this series.
查看答案詳解

解題

(i) Combining the fractions on the LHS:
\[ \frac{1}{(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)} - \frac{1}{(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)} \]
\[ = \frac{(2r+5) - (2r-1)}{(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)} \]
\[ = \frac{6}{(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)}. \]

(ii) Let \(f(r) = \frac{1}{(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)}\). Then from part (i):
\[ \frac{1}{(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)} = \frac{1}{6}[f(r) - f(r+1)] \]

Summing from \(r=1\) to \(n\):
\[ \sum_{r=1}^n \frac{1}{(2r-1)(2r+1)(2r+3)(2r+5)} = \frac{1}{6} \sum_{r=1}^n [f(r) - f(r+1)] \]
\[ = \frac{1}{6} [f(1) - f(2) + f(2) - f(3) + \dots + f(n) - f(n+1)] \]
\[ = \frac{1}{6} [f(1) - f(n+1)] \]

We have:
\[ f(1) = \frac{1}{1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5} = \frac{1}{15} \]
\[ f(n+1) = \frac{1}{(2n+1)(2n+3)(2n+5)} \]

Thus, the sum is:
\[ \frac{1}{6} \left[ \frac{1}{15} - \frac{1}{(2n+1)(2n+3)(2n+5)} \right] = \frac{1}{90} - \frac{1}{6(2n+1)(2n+3)(2n+5)} \]

(iii) As \(n \to \infty\), \(\frac{1}{6(2n+1)(2n+3)(2n+5)} \to 0\).
Therefore, the sum to infinity is \(\frac{1}{90}\).

A1: Obtain the given numerator 6 and complete the proof of (i).
M1: Set up the method of differences using the result of (i).

題目 5 · Structured Proof and Calculations

A curve \(C\) has polar equation \(r = a(1 + 2\cos\theta)\) for \(0 \le \theta \le 2\pi\), where \(a\) is a positive constant.

(i) Sketch the curve \(C\).

(ii) Show that the area of the region enclosed by the inner loop of \(C\) is \(a^2\left(\pi - \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\).
查看答案詳解

解題

(i) The curve is a lima\u00e7on with an inner loop. It is symmetrical about the initial line \(\theta = 0\).
At \(\theta = 0\), \(r = 3a\).
At \(\theta = \pi/2\), \(r = a\).
At \(\theta = 2\pi/3\), \(r = 0\).
At \(\theta = \pi\), \(r = -a\).
The sketch should show a larger outer loop and an inner loop lying to the left of the pole, passing through the origin at \(\theta = 2\pi/3\) and \(\theta = 4\pi/3\).

(ii) The inner loop corresponds to values of \(\theta\) where \(r \le 0\).
\(1 + 2\cos\theta \le 0 \implies \cos\theta \le -\frac{1}{2} \implies \frac{2\pi}{3} \le \theta \le \frac{4\pi}{3}\).

The area \(A\) of the inner loop is:
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \int_{2\pi/3}^{4\pi/3} r^2 d\theta \]
By symmetry:
\[ A = \int_{2\pi/3}^{\pi} a^2 (1 + 2\cos\theta)^2 d\theta \]
\[ = a^2 \int_{2\pi/3}^{\pi} (1 + 4\cos\theta + 4\cos^2\theta) d\theta \]
Using \(\cos^2\theta = \frac{1}{2}(1 + \cos 2\theta)\):
\[ 1 + 4\cos\theta + 4\cos^2\theta = 1 + 4\cos\theta + 2(1 + \cos 2\theta) = 3 + 4\cos\theta + 2\cos 2\theta \]

Now integrate:
\[ A = a^2 \left[ 3\theta + 4\sin\theta + \sin 2\theta \right]_{2\pi/3}^{\pi} \]
At the upper limit \(\theta = \pi\):
\[ 3\pi + 4\sin\pi + \sin 2\pi = 3\pi \]
At the lower limit \(\theta = 2\pi/3\):
\[ 3\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) + 4\sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) + \sin\left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\right) = 2\pi + 4\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 2\pi + \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} \]

Subtracting the limits:
\[ A = a^2 \left[ 3\pi - \left(2\pi + \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \right] = a^2\left(\pi - \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\right). \]

The curve \(C\) has equation \(y = \frac{2x^2 + 3x + 9}{x + 1}\).

(i) Find the equations of the asymptotes of \(C\).

(ii) Find the coordinates of the stationary points of \(C\).

(iii) Sketch \(C\), showing clearly the asymptotes, the stationary points, and any intersections with the coordinate axes.
查看答案詳解

解題

(i) By algebraic division:
\[ 2x^2 + 3x + 9 = (2x+1)(x+1) + 8 \]
So:
\[ y = 2x + 1 + \frac{8}{x+1} \]

Thus, the asymptotes are:
- Vertical asymptote: \(x = -1\)
- Oblique asymptote: \(y = 2x + 1\)

(ii) Differentiating \(y\):
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2 - \frac{8}{(x+1)^2} \]

For stationary points, set \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\):
\[ 2 - \frac{8}{(x+1)^2} = 0 \implies (x+1)^2 = 4 \implies x+1 = \pm 2 \]
So \(x = 1\) or \(x = -3\).

When \(x = 1\):
\[ y = \frac{2(1)^2 + 3(1) + 9}{1+1} = \frac{14}{2} = 7 \]
Stationary point: \((1, 7)\).

When \(x = -3\):
\[ y = \frac{2(-3)^2 + 3(-3) + 9}{-3+1} = \frac{18-9+9}{-2} = -9 \]
Stationary point: \((-3, -9)\).

(iii) Y-intercept: When \(x = 0\), \(y = 9\).
X-intercepts: Set \(2x^2 + 3x + 9 = 0\). The discriminant is \(3^2 - 4(2)(9) = -63 < 0\), so there are no x-intercepts.
Sketch details:
- Two branches separated by the vertical asymptote \(x = -1\).
- For \(x > -1\), the curve has a local minimum at \((1, 7)\) and passes through \((0, 9)\).
- For \(x < -1\), the curve has a local maximum at \((-3, -9)\).
- Asymptotes \(x = -1\) and \(y = 2x + 1\) are drawn as dashed lines.

The lines \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) have vector equations:

\[ l_2: \mathbf{r} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -1 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} + \mu \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} \]

(i) Find the shortest distance between \(l_1\) and \(l_2\).

(ii) Find the coordinates of the points \(P\) on \(l_1\) and \(Q\) on \(l_2\) such that the distance between them is a minimum.
查看答案詳解

解題

(i) The direction vectors of \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) are \(\mathbf{d_1} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(\mathbf{d_2} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}\).

A normal vector \(\mathbf{n}\) to both lines is:
\[ \mathbf{n} = \mathbf{d_1} \times \mathbf{d_2} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} \times \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1(2) - 3(-1) \\ 3(1) - 2(2) \\ 2(-1) - 1(1) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ -1 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix} \]

A vector connecting a point on \(l_1\), \(A(1, 2, -1)\), and a point on \(l_2\), \(B(2, -1, 4)\), is:
\[ \mathbf{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} 2-1 \\ -1-2 \\ 4-(-1)
\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -3 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix} \]

The shortest distance \(d\) is the projection of \(\mathbf{AB}\) onto \(\mathbf{n}\):
\[ d = \frac{|\mathbf{AB} \cdot \mathbf{n}|}{|\mathbf{n}|} = \frac{|1(5) + (-3)(-1) + 5(-3)|}{\sqrt{5^2 + (-1)^2 + (-3)^2}} = \frac{|5 + 3 - 15|}{\sqrt{25 + 1 + 9}} = \frac{7}{\sqrt{35}} = \frac{\sqrt{35}}{5} \approx 1.18 \]

(ii) Let \(P\) be a general point on \(l_1\) and \(Q\) be a general point on \(l_2\):
\[ \mathbf{p} = \begin{pmatrix} 1+2\lambda \\ 2+\lambda \\ -1+3\lambda \end{pmatrix}, \quad \mathbf{q} = \begin{pmatrix} 2+\mu \\ -1-\mu \\ 4+2\mu \end{pmatrix} \]

The vector \(\mathbf{PQ}\) is:
\[ \mathbf{PQ} = \mathbf{q} - \mathbf{p} = \begin{pmatrix} 1+\mu-2\lambda \\ -3-\mu-\lambda \\ 5+2\mu-3\lambda \end{pmatrix} \]

Since \(\mathbf{PQ}\) is perpendicular to both \(\mathbf{d_1}\) and \(\mathbf{d_2}\):
1) \(\mathbf{PQ} \cdot \mathbf{d_1} = 0 \implies 2(1+\mu-2\lambda) + 1(-3-\mu-\lambda) + 3(5+2\mu-3\lambda) = 0\)
\[ \implies 2 + 2\mu - 4\lambda - 3 - \mu - \lambda + 15 + 6\mu - 9\lambda = 0 \implies 14 + 7\mu - 14\lambda = 0 \implies 2\lambda - \mu = 2 \]

2) \(\mathbf{PQ} \cdot \mathbf{d_2} = 0 \implies 1(1+\mu-2\lambda) - 1(-3-\mu-\lambda) + 2(5+2\mu-3\lambda) = 0\)
\[ \implies 1 + \mu - 2\lambda + 3 + \mu + \lambda + 10 + 4\mu - 6\lambda = 0 \implies 14 + 6\mu - 7\lambda = 0 \implies 7\lambda - 6\mu = 14 \]

Solving these simultaneously:
From the first equation, \(\mu = 2\lambda - 2\).
Substitute into the second:
\[ 7\lambda - 6(2\lambda - 2) = 14 \implies 7\lambda - 12\lambda + 12 = 14 \implies -5\lambda = 2 \implies \lambda = -0.4 \]
Then \(\mu = 2(-0.4) - 2 = -2.8\).

Substitute \(\lambda = -0.4\) into \(P\):
\[ P = (1 + 2(-0.4), 2 + (-0.4), -1 + 3(-0.4)) = (0.2, 1.6, -2.2) \]

Substitute \(\mu = -2.8\) into \(Q\):
\[ Q = (2 + (-2.8), -1 - (-2.8), 4 + 2(-2.8)) = (-0.8, 1.8, -1.6) \]

Find the eigenvalues of the matrix \(\mathbf{A} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -1 & 1 \\ -1 & 5 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & 3 \end{pmatrix}\), and find a corresponding set of orthogonal eigenvectors. Hence, write down an orthogonal matrix \(\mathbf{P}\) and a diagonal matrix \(\mathbf{D}\) such that \(\mathbf{P}^T \mathbf{A} \mathbf{P} = \mathbf{D}\).
查看答案詳解

解題

To find the eigenvalues, solve the characteristic equation \(\det(\mathbf{A} - \lambda \mathbf{I}) = 0\). This gives \(\begin{vmatrix} 3-\lambda & -1 & 1 \\ -1 & 5-\lambda & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & 3-\lambda \end{vmatrix} = 0\), which expands to \(-\lambda^3 + 11\lambda^2 - 36\lambda + 36 = 0\). Factoring this polynomial gives \(-(\lambda - 2)(\lambda - 3)(\lambda - 6) = 0\). Thus, the eigenvalues are \(\lambda = 2, 3, 6\). Next, find the corresponding eigenvectors. For \(\lambda = 2\), the system \((\mathbf{A} - 2\mathbf{I})\mathbf{v} = \mathbf{0}\) leads to \(x - y + z = 0\) and \(-x + 3y - z = 0\), giving the eigenvector \(\mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\). Normalizing gives \(\mathbf{u}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ 0 \\ -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{pmatrix}\). For \(\lambda = 3\), the system \((\mathbf{A} - 3\mathbf{I})\mathbf{v} = \mathbf{0}\) yields the eigenvector \(\mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}\). Normalizing gives \(\mathbf{u}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \end{pmatrix}\). For \(\lambda = 6\), the system \((\mathbf{A} - 6\mathbf{I})\mathbf{v} = \mathbf{0}\) yields the eigenvector \(\mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -2 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}\). Normalizing gives \(\mathbf{u}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \\ -\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \end{pmatrix}\). The matrix \(\mathbf{P}\) is formed by the normalized eigenvectors as columns: \(\mathbf{P} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \\ 0 & \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} & -\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \\ -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \end{pmatrix}\). The diagonal matrix \(\mathbf{D}\) contains the eigenvalues on the diagonal: \(\mathbf{D} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 6 \end{pmatrix}\).

解題

First, find the complementary function (CF) by solving the auxiliary equation \(m^2 + 2m + 5 = 0\), which yields \(m = -1 \pm 2\mathrm{i}\). Thus, \(y_{CF} = \mathrm{e}^{-x}(A\cos(2x) + B\sin(2x))\). Next, find the particular integral (PI) of the form \(y_{PI} = p\cos x + q\sin x\). Differentiating gives \(y' = -p\sin x + q\cos x\) and \(y'' = -p\cos x - q\sin x\). Substituting these into the differential equation yields \((-p + 2q + 5p)\cos x + (-q - 2p + 5q)\sin x = 10\cos x\). Equating coefficients gives \(4p + 2q = 10\) and \(-2p + 4q = 0\). Solving these gives \(p = 2\) and \(q = 1\). So, the general solution is \(y = \mathrm{e}^{-x}(A\cos(2x) + B\sin(2x)) + 2\cos x + \sin x\). Apply the initial condition \(y(0) = 2\) to get \(2 = A + 2 \implies A = 0\). Now differentiate \(y = B\mathrm{e}^{-x}\sin(2x) + 2\cos x + \sin x\) to get \(y' = B\mathrm{e}^{-x}(2\cos(2x) - \sin(2x)) - 2\sin x + \cos x\). Apply \(y'(0) = 0\) to get \(0 = 2B + 1 \implies B = -\frac{1}{2}\). Therefore, the particular solution is \(y = -\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{e}^{-x}\sin(2x) + 2\cos x + \sin x\).

Let \(I_n = \int_1^{\mathrm{e}} (\ln x)^n \mathrm{d}x\) for \(n \ge 0\). Show that \(I_n = \mathrm{e} - n I_{n-1}\) for \(n \ge 1\), and hence find the exact value of \(I_4\).
查看答案詳解

解題

Using integration by parts on \(I_n = \int_1^{\mathrm{e}} 1 \cdot (\ln x)^n \mathrm{d}x\), let \(u = (\ln x)^n\) and \(\mathrm{d}v = \mathrm{d}x\). Then \(\mathrm{d}u = \frac{n(\ln x)^{n-1}}{x}\mathrm{d}x\) and \(v = x\). This gives \(I_n = [x(\ln x)^n]_1^{\mathrm{e}} - \int_1^{\mathrm{e}} n(\ln x)^{n-1} \mathrm{d}x\). Evaluating the boundary term yields \(\mathrm{e}(\ln\mathrm{e})^n - 1(\ln 1)^n = \mathrm{e}\). Thus, \(I_n = \mathrm{e} - n I_{n-1}\). To find \(I_4\), first calculate \(I_0 = \int_1^{\mathrm{e}} 1 \mathrm{d}x = \mathrm{e} - 1\). Then: \(I_1 = \mathrm{e} - 1(I_0) = \mathrm{e} - (\mathrm{e}-1) = 1\), \(I_2 = \mathrm{e} - 2(I_1) = \mathrm{e} - 2\), \(I_3 = \mathrm{e} - 3(I_2) = \mathrm{e} - 3(\mathrm{e}-2) = 6 - 2\mathrm{e}\), \(I_4 = \mathrm{e} - 4(I_3) = \mathrm{e} - 4(6-2\mathrm{e}) = 9\mathrm{e} - 24\).

查看答案詳解

解題

(i) Let \(y = \cosh^{-1} x\), then \(x = \cosh y = \frac{\mathrm{e}^y + \mathrm{e}^{-y}}{2}\). This gives \(\mathrm{e}^{2y} - 2x\mathrm{e}^y + 1 = 0\). Solving this quadratic in \(\mathrm{e}^y\) using the quadratic formula yields \(\mathrm{e}^y = x \pm \sqrt{x^2-1}\). Since \(y \ge 0\) for the principal value, \(\mathrm{e}^y \ge 1\), so we take the positive root. Taking the natural logarithm gives \(y = \ln(x + \sqrt{x^2-1})\). (ii) Substitute \(\cosh(2\theta) = 2\cosh^2\theta - 1\) into the equation: \(2\cosh^2\theta - 1 - 3\cosh\theta = 1 \implies 2\cosh^2\theta - 3\cosh\theta - 2 = 0\). Factoring gives \((2\cosh\theta + 1)(\cosh\theta - 2) = 0\). Since \(\cosh\theta \ge 1\), the only valid solution is \(\cosh\theta = 2\). Thus, \(\theta = \cosh^{-1}(2) = \ln(2 + \sqrt{2^2-1}) = \ln(2+\sqrt{3})\).

Given that \(y = \arctan x\), show that \((1+x^2)y' = 1\). By applying Leibniz's theorem, prove that \((1+x^2)y^{(n+1)} + 2nxy^{(n)} + n(n-1)y^{(n-1)} = 0\) for \(n \ge 1\). Hence, find the Maclaurin series for \(\arctan x\) up to and including the term in \(x^5\).
查看答案詳解

解題

Differentiating \(y = \arctan x\) gives \(y' = \frac{1}{1+x^2}\), so \((1+x^2)y' = 1\). Apply Leibniz's theorem to differentiate \((1+x^2)y' = 1\) exactly \(n\) times. Let \(u = y'\) and \(v = 1+x^2\). Then \((uv)^{(n)} = u^{(n)}v + n u^{(n-1)}v' + \frac{n(n-1)}{2}u^{(n-2)}v'' + 0 = y^{(n+1)}(1+x^2) + n y^{(n)}(2x) + \frac{n(n-1)}{2}y^{(n-1)}(2) = 0\), which simplifies to \((1+x^2)y^{(n+1)} + 2nxy^{(n)} + n(n-1)y^{(n-1)} = 0\). Evaluating this at \(x = 0\) gives \(y^{(n+1)}(0) = -n(n-1)y^{(n-1)}(0)\). We know \(y(0) = 0\) and \(y'(0) = 1\). For \(n=1\): \(y''(0) = 0\). For \(n=2\): \(y^{(3)}(0) = -2(1)y'(0) = -2\). For \(n=3\): \(y^{(4)}(0) = 0\). For \(n=4\): \(y^{(5)}(0) = -4(3)y^{(3)}(0) = 24\). The Maclaurin series is \(y(0) + y'(0)x + \frac{y''(0)}{2!}x^2 + \frac{y^{(3)}(0)}{3!}x^3 + \frac{y^{(4)}(0)}{4!}x^4 + \frac{y^{(5)}(0)}{5!}x^5 = x - \frac{2}{6}x^3 + \frac{24}{120}x^5 = x - \frac{1}{3}x^3 + \frac{1}{5}x^5\).

查看答案詳解

解題

(i) Let \(z = \cos\theta + \mathrm{i}\sin\theta\). Then \(2\mathrm{i}\sin\theta = z - z^{-1}\). Expanding \((2\mathrm{i}\sin\theta)^5 = (z - z^{-1})^5\) using the Binomial Theorem gives \(32\mathrm{i}\sin^5\theta = z^5 - 5z^3 + 10z - 10z^{-1} + 5z^{-3} - z^{-5} = (z^5 - z^{-5}) - 5(z^3 - z^{-3}) + 10(z - z^{-1})\). Since \(z^n - z^{-n} = 2\mathrm{i}\sin(n\theta)\), this becomes \(32\mathrm{i}\sin^5\theta = 2\mathrm{i}\sin(5\theta) - 10\mathrm{i}\sin(3\theta) + 20\mathrm{i}\sin\theta\). Dividing by \(32\mathrm{i}\) yields \(\sin^5\theta = \frac{1}{16}\sin(5\theta) - \frac{5}{16}\sin(3\theta) + \frac{5}{8}\sin\theta\). (ii) Integrate: \(\int_0^{\pi/2} \sin^5\theta \mathrm{d}\theta = \left[ -\frac{1}{80}\cos(5\theta) + \frac{5}{48}\cos(3\theta) - \frac{5}{8}\cos\theta \right]_0^{\pi/2}\). At \(\pi/2\), all cosine terms are 0. At 0, the expression evaluates to \(-\frac{1}{80} + \frac{5}{48} - \frac{5}{8} = -\frac{256}{480} = -\frac{8}{15}\). Subtracting this value at the lower limit gives \(0 - (-\frac{8}{15}) = \frac{8}{15}\).

Find the exact arc length of the curve \(y = \ln(\cos x)\) from \(x = 0\) to \(x = \frac{\pi}{3}\).
查看答案詳解

解題

First, find \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\) for \(y = \ln(\cos x)\). This gives \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = \frac{1}{\cos x} \cdot (-\sin x) = -\tan x\). The arc length \(s\) is given by \(s = \int_0^{\pi/3} \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\right)^2} \mathrm{d}x\). Substituting \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\) yields \(s = \int_0^{\pi/3} \sqrt{1 + \tan^2 x} \mathrm{d}x = \int_0^{\pi/3} \sec x \mathrm{d}x\). Integrating \(\sec x\) gives \([\ln(\sec x + \tan x)]_0^{\pi/3}\). Evaluating at the upper limit \(x = \frac{\pi}{3}\): \(\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}) = 2\) and \(\tan(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \sqrt{3}\). Evaluating at the lower limit \(x = 0\): \(\sec 0 = 1\) and \(\tan 0 = 0\). Therefore, \(s = \ln(2 + \sqrt{3}) - \ln(1 + 0) = \ln(2 + \sqrt{3})\).

Find the particular solution of the first-order differential equation \(\cos x \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} + y\sin x = \cos^3 x\) for which \(y = 2\) when \(x = 0\). Hence, find the exact value of \(y\) when \(x = \frac{\pi}{3}\).
查看答案詳解

解題

First, rewrite the differential equation in standard form by dividing by \(\cos x\): \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} + y\tan x = \cos^2 x\). The integrating factor is \(I = \mathrm{e}^{\int \tan x \mathrm{d}x} = \mathrm{e}^{\ln(\sec x)} = \sec x\). Multiplying both sides of the standard equation by \(\sec x\) yields \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(y\sec x) = \cos^2 x \sec x = \cos x\). Integrating both sides gives \(y\sec x = \sin x + C\), so \(y = \sin x\cos x + C\cos x\). Applying the initial condition \(y(0) = 2\) yields \(2 = 0 + C(1) \implies C = 2\). Therefore, the particular solution is \(y = \sin x\cos x + 2\cos x\). Substituting \(x = \frac{\pi}{3}\) gives \(y = \sin(\frac{\pi}{3})\cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) + 2\cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} + 1\).
