For all natural numbers $n$, consider the polynomial $P_n(x) = x^{n+2}-2x+1$.
(a) Show that the equation $P_n(x)=0$ has exactly one root $c_n$ in the open interval $(0,1)$.
(b) Find $lim_{n \to \infty}c_n$.
Suppose that $c_n=(-1)^n(n+1)$. While the sum $\sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n$ is divergent, we can still attempt to assign a value to the sum using other methods. The Abel Summation of a sequence, $a_n$, is $\operatorname{Abel}(a_n)=\lim_{x\to1^-}\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n$. Find $\operatorname{Abel}(c_n)$.
A game involves jumping to the right on the real number line. If $ a$ and $ b$ are real numbers and $ b>a,$ the cost of jumping from $ a$ to $ b$ is $ b^3\minus{}ab^2.$ For what real numbers $ c$ can one travel from $ 0$ to $ 1$ in a finite number of jumps with total cost exactly $ c?$
Given a number $b>0$, find all functions $f: \mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ such that:
$f(x+y)=f(x).3^{b^{y}+f(y)-1}+b^{x}.\left(3^{b^{y}+f(y)-1}-b^{y}\right) \forall x,y\in\mathbb{R}$
Let $L$ be a positive constant. For a point $P(t,\ 0)$ on the positive part of the $x$ axis on the coordinate plane, denote $Q(u(t),\ v(t))$ the point at which the point reach starting from $P$ proceeds by distance $L$ in counter-clockwise on the perimeter of a circle passing the point $P$ with center $O$.
(1) Find $u(t),\ v(t)$.
(2) For real number $a$ with $0<a<1$, find $f(a)=\int_a^1 \sqrt{\{u'(t)\}^2+\{v'(t)\}^2}\ dt$.
(3) Find $\lim_{a\rightarrow +0} \frac{f(a)}{\ln a}$.
