The last sum can be cheesed neatly. For n = 0 we have n³/n! = 0, so we can start with n = 1 and then reduce: n³/n! = n²/(n-1)! therefore reducing the power by 1. We then go with n-1 = k which is legit since now n starts at 1. We then get ∑(k+1)²/k! starting with k = 0. This is same as ∑k²/k! + 2∑k/k! + ∑1/k!. The last one is just e, the one in the middle is also e: discard k = 0 term (it's 0) and reindex. As for the first: we just do the same trick with power reduction again, finding it's 2e. So ∑n³/n! = 2e + 2e + e = 5e
Hi. I solved the integral problem myself. I am in University, I saw your notification, slide it down, and started solving on my Tablet. In a nutshell I found the answer(1-π/4), when I Rechecked, it matches your answer. Very Happy.🎉😊❤
congrats bro! its good to see another person who got excited after solving an integral like me (for the original comment) nobody asked (for the reply above me)
limits talk about the limiting behaviour, for the 1st problem its important to note that arctan x ~x as x approaches 0.( similar to sinx) so for extremely small values of x the expression reduces to 1/2, cubing it we get 1/8. The knowledge of limiting behavior saves us from the hazarad of blindy applying the differentiation rule all the times.
For the last one, you can just aim to cancel the largest term of the factorial and then add and subtract the same value to cancel the next largest term, etc. until you only have constants in the numerator. I'll skip the bookkeeping of the index of the sum, but it works out with the first term always being 0 - allowing you to shift things up as needed and sticking to the factorial of natural numbers. Here is the math for the summand: n^3/n! = n^2/(n-1)! = (n^2-1+1)/(n-1)! = (n+1)(n-1)/(n-1)! + 1/(n-1)! = (n+1)/(n-2)! + 1/(n-1)! = (n-2+3)/(n-2)! + 1/(n-1)! = 1/(n-3)! + 3/(n-2)! + 1/(n-1)! = 1*e +3*e + 1*e = 5e.
The last one can also (somewhat tediously) be solved by changing the numerator such that it as much as possible with the denominator (n³=n(n-1)(n-2)+3n(n-1)+n lets you split the sum into multiple ones, all related to sum of 1/n! from 0 to infty; one should also take the first two terms out before doing that to not cause negative number shenanigans)
Probably a useless observation, but #3 can be expressed as something like 1/k! times the convolution of the sum of (k-n)^3 and the sum of the gamma function, taking its limit as k --> ∞.
I did problem 1 a bit differently: For problem 1, if you take the cube out and write the limit as 1 over its reciprocal, you get the cube of the limit of 1/(1 + x/arctan(x)). We know tanx/x goes to 1 as x->0, i.e. tan(x) is approximately x. Then arctan(x) is also approximately x in the limit, so the original limit becomes (1/(1+1))^3 = 1/8.
Question nr 2 you can also use X=sin(t) which will lead to ∫cos(t)- (cos(t))^2 use the double formula for the second part and fill in π/2 and 0 which will give 1-π/4
Another easy way to solve the last sum is to play with the developpement of exp(x) to show that sum(x^n*n^3/n!)=d/dx (x*d/dx (x*exp(x)))=exp(x)*(1+3x+x^2)
I find it hard to believe these are Berkeley math tournament questions. I don’t even do math competitions (too stressful) and yet I still managed all three in a combined time of 4 minutes. The limit was easy, the integral was something an algebra student could do (if they understood what the question was asking, which they probably wouldn’t. My point being it’s mostly area of a circle.), and the final one looks so close to the Taylor series definition of e^x it’s bound to set off alarms for anyone who’s taken calculus II.
Literally did in mind (JEE aspirant) first I simplified it as n^2/(n-1)! Then wrote it as n^2-1+1/(n-1)! Then it is n+1/(n-2)! +1/(n-1)! Which is 1/(n-3)! +3/(n-2)! +1/(n-1)! And its sum is 5e

3. sum(x^n/n!,n=0..infinity) = exp(x) sum(nx^n/n!,n=0..infinity) = x*exp(x) (by differentiation once and shifting) sum(n^2x^n/n!,n=0..infinity) = x*d/dx(x*exp(x)) = x*(x+1)exp(x) sum(n^3x^n/n!,n=0..infinity) = x*d/dx((x^2+x)*exp(x)) sum(n^3x^n/n!,n=0..infinity) = x*((2x+1)*exp(x)+(x^2+x)exp(x)) sum(n^3x^n/n!,n=0..infinity) = x*(x^2+3x+1)exp(x) and then if we plug in x=1 we will get 5e

or in a different way: by differentiating x e^x three times we get Sum(n^3-n)x^n/n!

great video thanks ! the solutions seem so obvious once you've shown them
In the first one i just divided up and down by arctan and use that x/arctan x tends to 1
Question nr 2 you can also use X=sin(t) which will lead to ∫cos(t)- (cos(t))^2 use the double formula for the second part and fill in π/2 and 0 which will give 1-π/4
3. use the expansion of e^x to do(d/dx→*x)3 times, and plug-in x=1 will finish it.
awesome video
man if only india had these, it would be so epic!

Number 3 can be solve using touchard polynomial
i saw wwangs solution few days ago, but this is brilliant
note that sum(n(n-1)...(n-k)/n!) is always e, then write n^3 as n(n-1)(n-2) + 3n(n-1)+n, you immediately get the result 5e.
The third one is the most intuitive tbh, you only need to know the fact that the sum from 0 to infinity of 1/n! =e
8:15 so now we can take the derivative.. so now we can take the derivative
Sir can you do integral tan^-1(sqrt(x+1)) using D I method

For (1): recall arctan(x)~x, when X->0: you immediately get the result. 😊

Let f^1/2(x) = g(x)
To find g(x)
So f(x) = g^2(x)
Put in equation you provided:
g(g(x)) = g^2(x)
Put t = g(x)

Put t = x
g(x) = x²

first of all what is f^1/2(x)? is it the square root of f(x)? or just a different function altogether?
