#MathHelp

2025-06-22

Today I'm having a really slow #math brain day. I'm trying to reduce an expression so that I can write it in terms of derivatives and possibly simplify the proof that it has a given Taylor series expansion.

I've currently managed to write the original expression in terms of a certain function f(x) and its first two derivatives as:

f(x) f''(x)/(f'(x)^2)

or equivalently

( f(x) / f'(x) ) / ( f'(x)/f''(x) )

which I've managed to express as

D( log(f'(x)) / D( log(f(x)) )

(D being the derivative operator) but this seems like a dead end. I feel like there's something trivial escaping me. #mathHelp

#math #lexicon question (sorry, I studied these things in Italian, so I don't know the English term). How do you call a sequence or series whose terms have alternating signs *but only after a few terms*?

Think something like
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1 ...

The Math Club is doing a fund-raising event at the school’s Homecoming Festival by operating a game booth where you can win a
limited edition tee-shirt by playing a carnival game. The shirts are
super cool, so you definitely want one!
In this game, player must make a bet in advance on the result
of drawing of two cards from a standard deck. You have choice
between betting the two cards are the “same rank” (A, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K) or “same suit” (hearts, clubs, diamonds, spades). If the two
cards drawn meet the pre-selected criteria, then you win the t-shirt!
Would you rather...
a) pay $2.50 to bet on the “same rank”
b) pay $9.50 to bet on the “same suit”
Which would you choose and why?
