4(i)

1. Define the statement and verify the base case for $n=1$.

Let PnP_n be the statement: 1x−1−1x−1x2−⋯−1xn=1xn(x−1)\frac{1}{x-1} - \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x^2} - \dots - \frac{1}{x^n} = \frac{1}{x^n(x-1)}

For n=1n=1:
LHS=1x−1−1x=x−(x−1)x(x−1)=1x(x−1)\text{LHS} = \frac{1}{x-1} - \frac{1}{x} = \frac{x - (x-1)}{x(x-1)} = \frac{1}{x(x-1)}
RHS=1x1(x−1)=1x(x−1)\text{RHS} = \frac{1}{x^1(x-1)} = \frac{1}{x(x-1)}

Since LHS=RHS\text{LHS} = \text{RHS}, P1P_1 is true.

2. Formulate the inductive hypothesis.

Assume that PkP_k is true for some positive integer kk.
That is, 1x−1−1x−1x2−⋯−1xk=1xk(x−1)\frac{1}{x-1} - \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x^2} - \dots - \frac{1}{x^k} = \frac{1}{x^k(x-1)}.

We want to show that Pk+1P_{k+1} is also true.

3. Use the inductive hypothesis to prove the statement for $n=k+1$.

For n=k+1n=k+1:
LHS=(1x−1−1x−⋯−1xk)−1xk+1\text{LHS} = \left( \frac{1}{x-1} - \frac{1}{x} - \dots - \frac{1}{x^k} \right) - \frac{1}{x^{k+1}}

Substituting PkP_k:
LHS=1xk(x−1)−1xk+1\text{LHS} = \frac{1}{x^k(x-1)} - \frac{1}{x^{k+1}}

Making the denominators common by multiplying the numerator and denominator of the first term by xx and the second term by (x−1)(x-1):
LHS=xxk+1(x−1)−x−1xk+1(x−1)\text{LHS} = \frac{x}{x^{k+1}(x-1)} - \frac{x-1}{x^{k+1}(x-1)}
LHS=x−(x−1)xk+1(x−1)\text{LHS} = \frac{x - (x-1)}{x^{k+1}(x-1)}
LHS=1xk+1(x−1)=RHS\text{LHS} = \frac{1}{x^{k+1}(x-1)} = \text{RHS}

Thus, Pk+1P_{k+1} is true if PkP_k is true.

4. State the final conclusion for mathematical induction.

Since P1P_1 is true, and Pk⇒Pk+1P_k \Rightarrow P_{k+1}, then by the Principle of Mathematical Induction, PnP_n is true for all positive integers nn.

答案

The statement is proven true for all positive integers nn by mathematical induction.

4(ii)

1. Express the series terms using the result from part (i) and identify the sequence type.

From part (i), we have un=1xn(x−1)u_n = \frac{1}{x^n(x-1)}.

The series is ∑n=1∞un=∑n=1∞1xn(x−1)\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} u_n = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{x^n(x-1)}.
This is an infinite geometric series with first term u1=1x(x−1)u_1 = \frac{1}{x(x-1)} and common ratio r=1xr = \frac{1}{x}.

2. State the condition for the infinite geometric series to converge.

For the sum to infinity of a geometric series to exist, the common ratio rr must satisfy ∣r∣<1|r| < 1.

Therefore, we require ∣1x∣<1\left| \frac{1}{x} \right| < 1.

3. Solve the inequality to find the range of $x$.

Since x≠0x \neq 0, we can rewrite the inequality as:
1∣x∣<1\frac{1}{|x|} < 1
∣x∣>1|x| > 1

Solving this modulus inequality gives:
x<−1 or x>1x < -1 \text{ or } x > 1

答案

x<−1 or x>1x < -1 \text{ or } x > 1
