The definite integral that was indefinitely long

Calculus Level 3

If I = p / q I = p/q for coprime positive integer p , q p,q , what is p q p-q .


The answer is 13.

observe that

that means,

p = 19 p = 19 and q = 6 q = 6 thus p q p-q = = 13 13

Since limits are positive we take positive root only in second step.

wrote on latex here

@Md Zuhair is my solution correct because i don't have official answers.

Ya it seems. As I have got the same results. And also you must mention that for positive sq root we will neglect the neglect the negetive root. Otherwise it seems fine

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 10 months ago

No there is a mistake. You need to change the upper limit and lowerlimit as per your substitution

How cube root became 27???? I see many mistakes

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 10 months ago

Yes that is all right i treated it as indefinite integral for the time being then introduced limits and back substituted.Oh sorry it is not 4x+1 ^ (2/3) it is 4x+1^(3/2) so sorry i used latex for first time so did some mistakes.next time will use pen paper and upload image.latex is so much easier on brilliant just a click of a button.

No I think latex is easier. See CS is a nice subject if you know the concepts and some thing u hav to keep in memory.

You need to show how you concluded that x + x + x + \sqrt{x + \sqrt{x + \sqrt{x + \cdots}}} converges to 1 + 4 x + 1 2 \dfrac{1 + \sqrt{4x + 1}}{2} .

Its easy to show. Y^2=x+y Y^2-y-x=0

Solving with the quadratic formula we get that

Precisely. I just wanted @Ayon Ghosh to show that himself in his solution. Thank you, Md.

@Zach Abueg Yes sir welcome. Ayon you can show that. Its important. And Zach sir, can u suggest me some of the best books to study higher calculus?

@Md Zuhair Sure, I'll do my best! How far into calculus?

@Zach Abueg I did till beta functions in depth. And those fractional integration. I know bit zeta. So?

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 10 months ago

@Md Zuhair Here's a wonderful paper on integration of fractional part functions.

Zach Abueg - 3 years, 10 months ago

I agree with that. The proof of the convergence should be included in the solution.

Hana Wehbi - 3 years, 10 months ago

@Md Zuhair Could you please refer some calculus books for me .I have done (limits,continuity,differentiation basic rules,local/global extrema,applications of differentiation,some basic integration techniques till int.by parts and some applications like area enclosed under graph.)Now I want to go for those beta /zeta functions so which book should I go for ?

I didnt used any book, I used brilliant wiki's. You may try out those. And also, Well done, u r in IXth and u hav finished 12th level calculus! WOW!

Md Zuhair - 3 years, 10 months ago

I have added the convergence proof. and @Md Zuhair thanks for the suggestion i will start working on it !
