    Using the fact that for all n≥M, (a^n)≤(a^M/M!)(a/M)^(n-M), Show that given some ε > 0, there exists a natural number M such that for all n ≥ M, (a^n)/n! < ε So Im looking for a potential value for M that would complete my proof. So far I have found that if M = ε(a^2+1) then it works, through experimenting with different values for a. However, this does not incorporate that (a^n)≤(a^M/M!)(a/M)^(n-M). I also cannot find a way of proving that choosing M = ε(a^2+1) works for this problem. Should I take a different approach?

    I'm working on a hypersonic vehicle project and I have some questions regarding some results I have obtained. The scope of this project includes the calculation and plotting of the pressure, temperature, pressure coefficient, and drag coefficient on the surface of a blunt body. The three methods being used are the Newtonian Theory for a calorically perfect gas, Modified Newtonian Theory for a calorically perfect gas, and Modified Newtonian Theory for a thermo-chemical equilibrium gas. I have attached a zip file with these plots. I have also included a plot of the temperature distribution without the thermo-chemical equilibrium assumption. Looking at the temperatur…

    I'm writing a report examining the link between Ozone thickness and UV dose. I have two data sets, one is Ozone thickness in Dobson units, the other is Cloud Free UV dose. I recorded these numbers over a period of time. I have a list of dates and the UV number and Ozone thickness in Dobson units for each date. I'm trying to do calculations which confirm the link between the two variables. I've tried to do T-Tests and I just can't seem to figure out if I'm using the right one. I'm not sure if I should use paired or unpaired. I'm fairly sure I should be using assumed equal variance, but I could be wrong. Anyway, my question is does a T-Test have any relevence with this data…

I need to know how to calculate the forces that the model will endure and the strength of the model. i was thinking of incorporating the following design features. cross braces (forming triangles) have the tower tapper in from the base until it reaches the 4th floor where it will stop tapering and continue at the same width. I need to know if these will help. we are also supposed to build a base isolation system idk enough about the materials …

    so we have a project called LTD (learning through discovery) and i have a question called how does the tongue connect with the brain and the nose? so far i have this: Even though we don’t knowthis (or maybe we do), the nose plays a major role when tasting food. our senseof smell is actually responsible for 80% of what we taste. Without our sense ofsmell, we are only limited to five distinct sensations which aresweet,salty,sour,bitter and the newly discovered “umami” or savory sensation. Allof the other flavours come from smell. When you eat food, some of the foodmolecules travel to the back of your throat which are then picked up by the nerve endings in your nose wh…

    I'm having difficulty understanding what this problem is asking of me. "Does the Laplace transform have a fixed point? Is there a function [math]f(t)[/math] defined on [math] 0 < t < \infty [/math], such that [math] \int_{0}^{\infty} f(t)e^{-st} dt = f(s) [/math] There is an extra condition that [math]f[/math] is not identically 0." I can use Laplace transforms as a general rule, but I do not quite understand what they mean mathematically. This question seems to be addressing that mathematical meaning, if I'm reading it correctly. How should I go about starting this problem? What do I need to understand to solve this? Thanks.

    Revered Members, Please see me my attachment. They are given in my textbook to depict paramagnetism and diamagnetism. When paramagnetic substances are placed in non uniform magnetic field, they have a tendency to move from weaker to stronger part Similarly, when diamagnetic substances are placed in non uniform magnetic field, they have a tendency to move from stronger to weaker part. Magnetic field is stronger at poles and become weaker when we move farther away from poles. But the diagram of diamagnetism shows that the liquid is bending towards the poles, that is stronger part of magnetic field which goes contrary against the property of diamagnetism. I fee…

    Hi! The Mandelbrot set is defined as a fractal set of points c of the plan for which the sequence defined recursively by: Zn+1 = Zn.^2c with z 0 = 0 does not tend towards infinity (in module). useful property If there exists an integer N such that | zN |> 2, then the sequence diverges. graphical representation In practice we set a maximum number M of iterations. If the module does not exceed the value 2 after M iterations, we consider that the sequence converges and that c belongs to the Mandelbrot set. For purely aesthetic reasons, the Mandelbrot set is often represented with of colors. Color (black in the example above) is assigned to points…

    I really need some help with this proof: If A and B are nxn symmetric matrices, and x is a column vector with x^t as it's transpose: Is it true that x^tAxBx = x^tBxAx? I arrived at this because I am trying to prove that the Generalized Rayleigh Quotient (Ax dot x)/(Bx dot x) has at least one critical point. If the first statement is not true, please help me with the second part. Thanks! There will be more proofs to follow after this if I run into more trouble, because the problem is multiple steps of proofs.
