  • 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:
