Statements Of Definitions

Question 1

The Principle of Mathematical Induction

Answer 1

Suppose that for each positive integer n we have a statement P(n).
If we prove the following two things:
(a) P(1) is true;
(b) for all n, if P(n) is true then P(n + 1) is also true; then P(n) is true for all positive integers n.

Question 2

The Principle of Mathematical Induction II

Answer 2

Let k be an integer.
Suppose that for each integer n ≥ k we have a statement P(n).
If we prove the following two things:
(a) P(k) is true;
(b) for all n ≥ k, if P(n) is true then P(n+1) is also true; then P(n) is true for all integers n ≥ k.

Question 3

The Strong Principle of Mathematical Induction

Answer 3

Suppose that for each integer n ≥ k we have a statement P(n). 
If we prove the following two things:
(a) P(k) is true;
(b) for all n, if P(k),P(k+1),...,P(n) are all true, then P(n+1) is also true;
then P(n) is true for all n ≥ k.

Question 4

Prime number

Answer 4

A prime number is a positive integer p such that p ≥ 2 and the only positive integers dividing p are 1 and p.

Question 5

Plane graph

Answer 5

A plane graph is a figure in the plane consisting of a collection of points (vertices), and some edges joining various pairs of these points, with no two edges crossing each other.

Question 6

Division of integers

Answer 6

Let a,b ∈ Z. We say a divides b (or a is a factor of

b) if b = ac for some integer c. When a divides b, we write a|b.

Question 7

Highest Common Factor

Answer 7

The highest common factor of a and b, written hcf(a,b), is the largest positive integer that divides both a and b.

Question 8

Coprimality

Answer 8

If a,b ∈ Z and hcf(a,b) = 1, we say that a and b are

coprime to each other

Question 9

Congruence of integers

Answer 9

Let m be a positive integer. For a, b ∈ Z, if m divides b−a we write a≡b mod m and say a is congruent to b modulo m.

Question 10

Derivative (First Principles)

Answer 10

The derivative of a function f at a number a, denoted by f’(a) is
f’(a) = lim(h->0) f(a+h)-f(a) / h
if this limit exists.

Question 11

Critical Number

Answer 11

A critical number of a function f is a number c in the domain of f such that either f’(c) = 0 or f’(c) does not exist.

Question 12

Concavity

Answer 12

If the graph of f lies above all of its tangents on an interval I, then it is called concave upward on I.
If the graph of f lies below all of its tangents on I, it is called concave downward on I

Question 13

Inflection Point

Answer 13

A point P on a curve y = f(x) is called an inflection point if f is continuous there and the curve changes from concave upward to concave downward or from concave downward to concave upward at P

Question 14

Dot Product

Answer 14

If a = and b = , then the dot product of a and b is the number a.b given by
a.b = a1b1 + a2b2 + a3b3

Question 15

Cross Product

Answer 15

If a = and b = , then the cross product of a and b is the vector
axb =

Question 16

Squeeze Theorem (statement)

Answer 16

It says that if g(x) is squeezed between f(x) and h(x) near a, and if f and h have the same limit L at a, then g is forced to have the same limit L at a.

Question 17

Differentiation Formulae: Power Rule (statement)

Answer 17

If n is any real number, then

d/dx(x^n) = nx^(n-1)

Question 18

Differentiation Formulae: Power Rule (proof)

Hhhh

Answer 18

The formula
x^n - a^n = (x-a)[x^(n-1) + (x^(n-2)a + ∙∙∙ + xa^(n-2) + a^(n-1)]
can be verified simply by multiplying out the right-hand side (or by summing the second factor as a geometric series).
