Find the general formula for
We know that a sum of polynomial of degree n would give polynomial of degree (n+1) by knowledge similar to integration, so we are not going to find the general formula through k, but through n for any fixed k.
For the first few k many of you should have already recited these:
1)
2)
3)
4)
For fixed k we only need to differentiate/integrate w.r.t. n, it seems easy:
Yes this is a diff. w.r.t. n (the summation formula is in terms of n, so we differentiate w.r.t. i in the summation sign.), but it looks like it's differentiate w.r.t k.
However, this would be a good news to us because we can link functions of different k together, while smaller k is trivially to compute.
We try to differentiate a few of them:
1)
2)
3)
Noticing the varying constant at the last, what happened?
Constant remind us about the constant results from integration, but why we get such a constant from integration, and are there any formula to compute that constant?
In elemental approach we can explain it like this by integration:
Now note that this C depends of the initial value of f(n), now we know that
However, the constant of
Now
However, it's extremely hard to generate the general formula of the constant because it's in a special recurrence form.
Let's try the formula for
Problem to explore:
1) Show that
2) Prove or disprove that
