Chapter 3: Mathematical Induction

Chapter 3: Mathematical Induction


Let Pn be the statement where [copy eqn here] for all n
LHS of P1 = n
RHS of P1 = n
Therefore, P1 is true.

Format

In the process of proving, you may use


what you wrote for Pk into that
equation. [esp. for sigmas]

Assume that Pk is true for some k , i.e. [replace n by k]


We want to prove Pk+1, i.e. [replace k by k+1]
LHS of Pk+1

= [Start proving]
= RHS (Proven)

Since P1 is true and Pk is true

Conjecture

Pn is true for all n

Some induction questions may involve conjectures (guess) of the general formula. They will usually ask you to
write the values of a sequence/sigma for n = 1, 2, 3, 4 then deduce a general equation which will then be proven
by Mathematical Induction.

y = a f(x)

For a > 0), the graph of y = f(x) + a is


obtained by translating the graph of y
= f(x) by a units in the positive y
direction.

For a > 0), the graph of y = a f(x) is


obtained by scaling the graph of y = f(x)
through a scaling parallel to the y-axis
by a scale factor of a.

This vertical translation only affects


the y-values and the horizontal
asymptote by the constant a.

The graph of y f is obtained by

graph, if a < 0 you compress the graph
(as usual).

y = f(x + a)
The graph of y = f(x a) is obtained by
translating the graph of y = f(x) by a
units in the x direction. If a > 0, shift
towards the positive x-direction, if a <
0, shift towards the negative xdirection.

Range

A function f, or mapping, is a rule which assigns every element of x X to only one element
of y Y .
Domain is the set of x-values (input values) for
which a function f is defined as the domain (Df)
Note: It must always be stated in the answer.

Definition

Inverse
functions

From the sketch, any vertical line x = a, where a Df will cut the graph of y = f(x) at exactly one
point. Hence f(x) is a function.
From the sketch, the line x = a (state a constant)cuts the graph of y = f(x) at 2 different points. Hence
f(x) is not a function.
For any one-to-one function, f:x Rf , there is an inverse function that exists, i.e. f 1 :x Rf

such that f 1 y x y f x for every x X .


A function f:AB is one-one if each horizontal line y = b where b
= f(x) at only 1 point.
Example 1
Determine if the function f:x
x is
a one-to-one function.
From the diagram, any horizontal line
y = b, where b Rf cuts the graph of
y = f(x) at exactly one point. Hence f
is one-one.
Df 1 Rf

Notes

Rf cuts the graph of y

and

f x y x f 1 y

Rf 1 Df

To obtain the inverse function f-1, follow


these steps:
1. Let y = f(x) and express in terms of y.
2. Rewrite x as f-1(y) to obtain f-1(y) as a
function in y.
3. Replace all y with x to obtain f-1(x) as
a function in x.
4. State the domain of f-1 using Df Rf

The graphs of f and f-1 are reflections of each


other in the line y = x.
Hence finding the solution of f(x) = f-1(x) is the
same as the solution of the equation f(x) = x or
f-1(x) = x

Composite
functions

Definition

Function composition (or composite function) is the application of one function to the
results of another function. For instance, the composite function gf as gf(x) = g(f(x)) where

Area of triangle = a b

The vector equation of a plane is given by


r a d e, , where
Vectors d and e are parallel to the plane and
non-parallel to each other
a gives the point of the vector while d and
e gives the direction of the vector.

In a scalar product form, we let AP n .


AP n 0,(r a) n 0, r n a n d

Note that the position vector r of every point on


the plane will satisfy the equation rn = d.
d can be obtained from an

Distance from point P to a plane


Let be a plane with vector
equation rn = d. The
perpendicular distance PN can
be found by:
(1) Choose any point A on the
plane. Then PN = length of
projection of AP on n.
(2) PN PN

From the figure, the vector equation


of PN : r OP n .
Since N is the point of intersection
between PN and the plane, we
can equate the above with rn = d.

A locus is a set of points that satisfy given conditions. Note: always take z = x + iy.

The equation z z1 z z2 represents the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the points (x1, y1)
and (x2, y2). The Cartesian equation will be a linear equation.
The equation arg( z z1 ) represents a half-line from A(x1, y1) (excluding A) making an angle with
the positive real axis.
Assume z = x + iy and then deduce its nature.
