A few of them require a previous result, but I'll do them anyways, give me a sec.

Isn't the fact that you're having difficulties with the induction questions an indication that 4U might be a bit hard for you?

Instead of asking for the solutions, perhaps ask someone to help you out so that you understand the concepts. It's been said numerous times.... Don't cheat, you're only cheating yourself.

why? are u saying they're easy? and u can learn from solutions and asking for the solution is asking someone to help u out...

Says the guy who doesn't even do any math at all. I think you're the one cheating yourself, trying to seem like you know what you're talking about when you actually have no freaking idea. You're laughable.

Oh and looking at the solution of a question is probably the best way of understanding a concept. Reading over math theory and actually seeing it be applied are a whole different ballgame.

Haha are you serious? I'm struggling with some of them at this very moment.

Its not that 4U is hard for me lol, its that these questions are harder than 4U level
I don't think they are harder than 4Unit level but they are hard none the less.

If you can judge how hard they are, then obviously you can do them right? Please do them and post up full solutions to every question. :)

Probably. The parts that didn't need induction were simple enough, but the ones that did... I got lost half-way in. :cold:

1. n=1, differentiate y, y' = e^x + y,
n=2, y'' = e^x + y'
...
therefore d^(n)y/dx^n = ne^x + xe^x

2. apparently true for n=1
using the formula sinαsinβ = [cos(α-β) - cos(α+β)] / 2
n=2, (sinx + sin2x)sin(x/2) = [cos(x/2) - cos(3x/2)] /2 + [cos(3x/2) - cos(5x/2)] /2 = [cos(x/2) - cos(5x/2)] /2
thus sinx + sin2x = [sin(3x/2)sinx] / [sin(x/2)]

suppose that it's true for n=k, which is .. (sub n=k in)
when n=k+1, sinx + sin2x + ... + sinkx + sin(k+1)x = [sin((k+1)x/2)sin(kx/2)] / [sin(x/2)] + sin(k+1)x
get a common denominator and use the previous method

3.
1) apparently true for n=1
α + β = 1, αβ = 1, thus α^2 + β^2 = -1

2) [α^(n-1) + β^(n-1)](α+β) = α^n + β^n + α[β^(n-1)] + [α^(n-1)]β = α^n + β^n + αβ[α^(n-2) + β^(n-2)]
therefore A_n = (α+β)A_(n-1) - αβA_(n-2) = A_(n-1) - A_(n-2)

3) true for n=3, 4
assume it's true for n=k-1, k
A_(k+1) = A_k - A_(k-1) = 2cos(kπ/3) - 2cos[(k-1)π/3]
because 2cos[(k-1)π/3] + 2cos[(k+1)π/3] = 4cos(kπ/3)cos(π/3) = 2cos(kπ/3)
therefore 2cos(kπ/3) - 2cos[(k-1)π/3] = 2cos[(k+1)π/3] as req'd

4. n=1, RHS = (1 - cos2θ)/(2sinθ) = (sinθ)^2/sinθ = sinθ = LHS
assume it's true for n=k, therefore.. (...)
when n=k+1, because 2sinθ * [(1 - cos2kθ)/(2sinθ) + sin(2k+1)θ] = 1 - cos2kθ + 2sin(2k+1)θsinθ = 1 - cos2kθ + cos2kθ - cos(2k+2)θ = 1 - cos(2k+2)θ
as req'd

lol
