Question 43 of 48

Q.(a) By Mathematical Induction, prove that 12+22+32+⋯+n2=n(n+1)(2n+1)61^2+2^2+3^2+\dots+n^2=\dfrac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}, for all n∈Nn\in N.

(OR)
(b) If sin⁡y=xsin⁡(a+y)\sin y=x\sin(a+y), then prove that dydx=sin⁡2(a+y)sin⁡a\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{\sin^2(a+y)}{\sin a}.

(a) The sum-of-squares formula is proved by induction. (b) dydx=sin⁡2(a+y)sin⁡a\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{\sin^2(a+y)}{\sin a}.

(a) Induction: 12+⋯+n2=n(n+1)(2n+1)61^2+\dots+n^2=\dfrac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}

Base n=1n=1: LHS =1=1, RHS =1⋅2⋅36=1=\dfrac{1\cdot2\cdot3}{6}=1 ✓.

Assume for kk: ∑r=1kr2=k(k+1)(2k+1)6.\sum_{r=1}^k r^2=\dfrac{k(k+1)(2k+1)}{6}. Add (k+1)2(k+1)^2:

k(k+1)(2k+1)6+(k+1)2=(k+1)k(2k+1)+6(k+1)6=(k+1)2k2+7k+66=(k+1)(k+2)(2k+3)6,\frac{k(k+1)(2k+1)}{6}+(k+1)^2=(k+1)\frac{k(2k+1)+6(k+1)}{6}=(k+1)\frac{2k^2+7k+6}{6}=\frac{(k+1)(k+2)(2k+3)}{6},

which is the formula for k+1k+1. By induction it holds for all n∈Nn\in\mathbb N.

(b) If sin⁡y=xsin⁡(a+y)\sin y=x\sin(a+y)

x=sin⁡ysin⁡(a+y).x=\dfrac{\sin y}{\sin(a+y)}. Differentiate w.r.t. yy (quotient rule): …
