Strong (or complete) induction: assume that the statement holds for n < k , and then prove it true for n=k. EXAMPLE: Prove that 1 + 2 + ... + n = n(n + 1) (i.e. the sum of 2 the first n positive integers is equal to n(n + 1) .) 2 SOLUTION: Properties of Functions Domain is the set of values of x for which f(x) is defined Range is the set of all possible values f(x) Even functions are functions that have the property f − x = f x for all x () () Odd functions are functions that have the property f (− x ) = − f ( x ) for all x Invertible function: a function f is invertible if there exists a function g such that y = f (x ) if and only if g ( y ) = x Increasing function: a function is increasing on an interval I if for all x, f ( x1 ) < f ( x 2 ) whenever x1 < x 2 on I Decreasing function: a function is decreasing on an interval I if for all x, f ( x1 ) > f ( x 2 ) whenever x1 < x 2 on I EXAMPLE: Suppose f(x) is even and x2 f (x ) − 5 f x 3 g (x ) = () (− x ) 3 f (− x ) − 5 f ([− x] ) is even. Therefore, since k ⋅ (k + 1) 1 + 2 + ... + k = 2 1 + 2 + ... + k = b such that for all k ⋅ (k + 1) , we can re-write it as 2 2 Collecting the (k + 1) terms, we find: ) since k (k + 1 ) + (k + 1 ) 2 ⎛k ⎞ ( k + 1 ) ⋅ (k + 2 ) = (k + 1 ) ⋅ ⎜ + 1 ⎟ = 2 ⎝2 ⎠ (( k + 1) + 1) = (k + 1 ) 2 (1 + 2 + ... + k ) + k + 1 = x∈ A, x ≤ b. Least Upper Bound: b is the least upper bound of A iff b is an upper bound of A and if for all other upper bounds a of A, b ≤ a . Greatest Lower Bound: b is the greatest lower bound of A iff b is a lower bound of A and if for all lower bounds a of A, a ≤ b . Completeness of real numbers: If A is a non empty set of real numbers and A has an upper bound then A has a least upper bound If A is a non empty set of real numbers and A has a lower bound then A has a greatest lower bound EXAMPLE: Solve the inequality x2 + 7 x − 8 < 0 . SOLUTION: First, lets factor the expression x 2 + 7x − 8 as x + 7 x − 8 = ( x + 8)( x − 1) . (x + 8)(x − 1) < 0 . For x < − 8 , both x + 8 and x − 1 are negative and, therefore F ( x ) = ( x + 8)( x − 1) is positive. follows: We now need to show the statement is true for n = k + 1. That means, we are concerned with the sum of the first k + 1 integers, i.e. with the sum 1 + 2 + ... + k + k + 1 . But we can write this as follows: 1 + 2 + ... + k + k + 1 = (1 + 2 + ... + k ) + k + 1 . (1 + 2 + ... + k ) + k + 1 = k (k + 1) + (k + 1) 2 x2 x2 = = 3 f (− x ) − 5 f − x f ( x ) − 5 f (x 3 ) f (x ) Thus, the left side is equal to the right side and the expression is valid for the case n = 1. Induction Step: Our induction hypothesis is that the expression holds for the case n = k, and thus the following expression holds: a≤x 2 This gives us: When we pass through x = −8, x + 8 changes sign and, therefore, so does F(x). But when we later pass through x = 1, x − 1 changes sign and F(x) changes back to being positive. Thus, F(x) is negative for −8 < x < 1. follows: SOLUTION: ( 1⋅ (1 + 1) 2 = = 1. 2 2 But since our induction hypothesis is . Determine whether g(x) is even, odd, or neither. g (− x ) = We’ll use induction to prove the above equality. Base case: When n = 1, the left side of the equality is equal to 1. When n = 1, the right side of the equality is equal to has a lower bound if there is a number a such that for all x ∈ A , . Bounded: A is bounded iff A has either an upper bound and a lower bound; iff there exists a number Logarithmic Functions Properties of logarithms: log b (mn) = log b m + log b n , ⎛ m⎞ log b ⎜ ⎟ = log b m − log b n , ⎝ n⎠ 1 log b mr = r log b m , log b = − log b m , m log b 1 = 0 , log b b = 1 , log b b r = r , More free study sheet and practice tests at: g ( x ) = g (− x ) , g ( x ) is Therefore, we know: even. Mathematical Induction INDUCTION STEP BY STEP Step 1—Base case. Show that the statement holds in the simplest case (normally for n = 1 ). n = 0 and/or Step 2—Induction Hypothesis. Assume the statement holds for an arbitrary k. Step 3. Prove that it holds for above induction hypothesis. k + 1 given the (1 + 2 + ... + k ) + k + 1 = (k + 1) ((k + 1) + 1) This is 2 what we need to show. Therefore, the statement is true for all positive integers n. b logb m = m , 10 = x , e ln x = x , log a m . log b m = log a b log x EXAMPLE: Inequalities and Absolute Values Absolute Value Rules: a−b ≥ a − b a+b ≤ a + b , a ⋅b = a ⋅ b Solve for x: ln(x2 + x) = 1 + ln x SOLUTION: ln(x2 + x) = 1 + ln x ln(x2 + x) − ln x = 1 ⎛ x2 + x ⎞ ⎟ =1 ⎜x⎟ ⎠ ⎝ , Upper/lower bound: A has an upper bound if there ln ⎜ is a number a such that for all ln(x + 1) = 1⇒ x + 1 = e ⇒ x = e − 1. x∈ A, x ≤ a .
