Show that 2^3 + x ^2 − 3x + 2 is O(x ^3 ).


"the set Q of rational numbers does not have the least-upper-bound property under the usual order. "

Proof:

"Consider the part A = {x in `&Qopf;`; 1<x^(2)<2<}, this part is not empty as [4/(3)]  in A; It is bounded by 2 as if x^(2)<4 then x<2. THe set of greatest elements of A, belonging to `&Qopf;`, is not empty."

Lemma:

"If [p/(q)]  in A with q  in `&Nopf;`^(*), then p>q for p>0 and p^(2)-2*q^(2)<0; or p^(2)-2*q^(2) in `&Zopf;`, thus"

p^2-2*q^2 <= -1

p^2-2*q^2 <= -1

(1)

"for all r  in `&Nopf;`^(*), put y=(r*p+1)/(r.p), we have :"

y > p/q

Now:

"y^(2)-2=supA/(r^(2)*q^(2)), with supA= r^(2)*p^(2)+2 r*p+1-2 r^(2)q^(2),"

otherwise; -1; s = r(p^2-2*q^2)+2*p+1

s = r(p^2-2*q^2)+2*p+1

(2)

"a good choice for r, for instance r=2*p+1, we get from (1)"

(2*p+1)(p^2-2*q^2) <= (2*p+1)(-1)

2*p(p^2-2*q^2) <= 2*p(-1)

(3)

thus:

(2*p+1)(p^2-2*q^2)+2*p <= -1

2*p(p^2-2*q^2)+2*p <= -2

(4)

(2*p+1)*[(2*p+1)(p^2-2*q^2)+2*p] <= -2*p-1

(2*p+1)*[2*p(p^2-2*q^2)+1+2*p] <= -2*p-1

(5)

(2*p+1)*[(2*p+1)(p^2-2*q^2)+2*p]+1 <= -2*p

(2*p+1)*[2*p(p^2-2*q^2)+1+2*p]+1 <= -2*p

(6)

"finally, supA<0"

`and`(thus*y^2 < 2, `in`(y, A*with*y^2) and A*with*y^2 > 1)

"so, for any x  in p/(q) in A, there exists y  in A such that y>x: in conclusion A does'nt admit a greatest element."

Now, given*m = p/q, `and`(not `in`(Typesetting:-delayDotProduct(a*greatest*element*of*A, Then)*m, A), we*get*thus):

supA > (0*thus)*(diff(m(x), x))^2 and (0*thus)*(diff(m(x), x))^2 > 2:

"So, for any greatest element m of A, it exists m', greatest element of A such as:"

If a dosage Q units of a certain drug is administrated to an individual, then the amount remaining in the bloodstream at the end of t minutes is given by Q*exp^-ct, where c>0. Suppose this same dosage is given at successive T-minute intervals.

 

a) Show that the amount A(k) of the drug is given by A(k) = ∑n=0k-1 Q*exp(^-ncT).

b) Find an upper bound for the amount of the drug in the bloodsteam after any number of doses.

c) Find the smallest time between doses that will ensure that A(k) does not exceed a certain level M for M>Q.

Could you print A & F ?
