8- a) If , show that [2]
- b) Using mathematical induction, prove that : for [2]
- c) Use Cramer's rule to solve the system of linear equations. , , [4]
Answer
a) Show that given
Step 1: Recognize the series for The given series for is: This resembles the Taylor series expansion of , but without the term: Thus, we can write:
Step 2: Solve for in terms of We have: Taking the natural logarithm of both sides: Now, expand as a Taylor series around : Thus:
b) Prove by mathematical induction that for
Base Case (n = 4): Calculate and : Since , the base case holds.
Inductive Step: Assume the statement is true for some , i.e., We must show that .
Starting from the inductive hypothesis: By the inductive hypothesis, , so: Since , , and because: which is true. Thus:
Conclusion: By the principle of mathematical induction, for all .
c) Solve the system of linear equations using Cramer's rule:
Step 1: Write the system in matrix form
Step 2: Compute the determinant of ()
Step 3: Compute (replace first column of with )
Step 4: Compute (replace second column of with )
Step 5: Compute (replace third column of with )
Step 6: Solve for using Cramer's rule
Final solution:
