Did anyone figure out the infinite product that was mentioned in Jason's puzzle? I know it has something to do with PI, but have no idea how to prove it. The...

The problem is to solve for x in the following x=(A-(B+x)^n)^(1/n)-C A Professor once told me that if you had four or more variables, problems like this are...
There were no solutions for this problem so I thought I'd post it here. My calculator finds that there are no solutions at all. Jason says hi. Find all...

Unless I recall it wrong, there is a Leibniz test for convergence of alternatting series. It states that given positive a_n, the series Sigma(-1)a_n converges....
... Inspection shows that all solutions must be between -140 and +4 because anything outside of that range will cause taking the root of a negative number. I...
Or another, possibly an even simpler idea. Let's go for absolute convergence instead. Apply the Dirichlet test to the series abs(sin n)/n. According to the...
It's not so easy because to use Leibniz test we must conclude that the series monotonously decrease and it's not true in this case, so we can't use this test...
Nice idea but the truth is that this series don't converge absolutely because the sum of b_n is not bounded, I tried Dirichlet test before and wasn't able to...

Yes, just to add to what has been said, I think x = (sqrt(13)+1)/2 = 2.302775638 is the only solution. Defining: f(x) = sqrt(4+x) g(x) = sqrt(4-x) h(x) =...
