1 AnswerMathematics1 decade agoFunctions. No idea at all?
Find 2 functions f(n) and g(n) such that neither f(n) nor g(n) tends to a limit as n tends to infinity, but both f(n)+g(n) and f(n)/g(n) do tend to a limit.
Seriously, I have no idea at all.

2 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoProve by Induction: X^n - 1 = (X - 1) F(X)?
where n = 1, 2, …, n, and F(X) is a polynomial of degree n-1.
i ve proven that it works for n = 1, but can't proceed on...
assuming k is true,
X^k - 1 = (X - 1) F(k - 1)
thus for (k + 1),
X^(k + 1) - 1 = (X - 1) F(k + 1 - 1)
(X^k * X) - 1 = (X - 1) F(k)
= X^(k + 1) - X^k

2 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoVista problem?
got a laptop recently, and is running Vista Home Premium... everything was fine until the lasat 2 days... i was installing office 2007 on it, but somehow, an error occured... thus i cancelled the installation, which requires me to use end process in task manager... after restarting the laptop, i found out that it is slower than it was to be (eg takes time to load the content in a folder/thumb drive...), at startup the hard disk led blinks for quite some time (>1min), and after that there's a lot of unexplained hard disk activity... such activity lasts for abt 5 sec and takes place every 3 sec, even when it is idle... anyone out there knows what happened to my laptop??
