Asymptotic Approximation and Sign Convention
When I write the asymptotic approximation of a function, does the sign convention matter? i.e. suppose I have (though the formula might not make sense) $$f_n(x)=x^2+\dots-O(n),$$
If my function is ...

How to use the Mean Value Theorem to find the “Contraction Constant”
Show that the contraction $T(x)= (1+x)^{1/3} $ on the interval $I=[1,2]$ satisfies the definition of a contraction.
It's not just this problem-- on this site and others explanations will say "the ...

prove this equation has at least two real solutions
I want to prove that $2^x=2-x^2$ has at least two real solutions. I am trying to use Bolzano theorem to prove this, that is if $f(x)=2^x-2+x^2$=$0$ then $f(x)$ is continuous on R will be negative ...

Is there a way to compute $\lim\limits_{x\to\pi/3}\frac{\sqrt{3+2\cos x}-2}{\ln(1+\sin3x)}$ without using L'hopital?
I can compute
$$\lim_{x\to\pi/3}\frac{\sqrt{3+2\cos x}-2}{\ln(1+\sin3x)}$$ using L'hopital and the limit equals $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{12}$, but is there another way to compute this limit without using ...

$\psi:A\rightarrow A^{-1}$ is continuous
Define a map that takes a matrix to it's inverse. Give $A\in M(n\times n)$ over reals field, define:
$$\psi:A\rightarrow A^{-1}$$
Is it always continuous, where defined? How do I prove this?
Thanks.

How to sum arithmetic combinations of divergent zeta-values?
By means of Ramanujan Summation, one can sum divergent values of the Riemann-zeta function. For instance, we have:
$$ \zeta(-2k) = 1 + 2^{2k} + 3^{2k} + \dots = 0 ( \mathfrak{R} ) , $$ and
$$ ...
