Study the convergence of the following series: $\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{...

I want to study the convergence of the following series: $\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{ n+x^{2n}}{n^3+1}$.Applying the necessary condition, I deduce that the series cannot converge for $x^2 > 1$. In the...

Rudin's RCA Theorem 7.21

Theorem 7.21 states: If $f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$ is differentiable at every point of $[a,b]$ and $f'\in L^1$ on $[a,b]$, then $f(x)-f(a)=\int_a^x f'(t)dt$ for all $x\in[a,b]$.From a very early theorem,...

A very interesting function equation $f(a,b)=f(a,c)+f(c,b)$ implies...

Function equation: $f(a,b)=f(a,c)+f(c,b)$ for all positive reals $a>c>b\geq 0$.My solution:$f(a,c)=f(a,b)-f(c,b)$,Let $b=0$,$f(a,c)=f(a,0)-f(c,0)$.Define $g(a)=f(a,0)$. We get the answer.It seems...

Writing the definition of Upper Bound

Let X be an ordered set. Let $ S \subset X.$ An element $ u \in X$ is said to be an upper bound for $S$ if $s \leq u$ for all $ s \in S.$In first-order logic, how do I write the above definition? Is it...

Show that that $\lim_{n\to\infty}\sqrt[n]{\binom{2n}{n}} = 4$

I know that$$\lim_{n\to\infty}{{2n}\choose{n}}^\frac{1}{n} = 4$$but I have no Idea how to show that; I think it has something to do with reducing ${n}!$ to $n^n$ in the limit, but don't know how to get...

Question about $f$ of bounded variation

Def.The variation of $f$ on $[a, b]$ corresponding to a partition $P = \{x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_n\},$$V^P(f):=\sum_{i=1}^{n} |f(x_i) - f(x_{i-1})|.$Obviously, if $Q$ is a refinement of $P$, then $V^P(f)...
