Show that $$!!!left[1+left(frac1+i2right)right]!!!left[1+left(frac1+i2right)^2right]!!!left[1+left(frac1+i2right)^2^2right]cdotsleft[1+left(frac1+i2right)^2^nright]!!!=left(1-frac12^2^nright)(1+i)$$ for $nge 2$.




I took $frac1+i2=frac1sqrt2e^ifracpi4$ and tried solving but i could not reach the RHS.Please help.

    Notice that, for any $x neq 1,$
    beginalign*
    prod_k=0^n(1+x^2^k)&=(1+x)(1+x^2)(1+x^2^2)cdots(1+x^2^n)\&=frac(1-x)(1+x)(1+x^2)(1+x^2^2)cdots(1+x^2^n)1-x\&=frac(1-x^2)(1+x^2)(1+x^2^2)cdots(1+x^2^n)1-x\&vdots\&=frac1-x^2^n+11-x.
    endalign*



    Thus, beginalign*prod_k=0^nleft[1+left(frac1+i2right)^2^kright]&=frac1-left(dfrac1+i2right)^2^n+11-dfrac1+i2=frac1-left[left(dfrac1+i2right)^2right]^2^ndfrac11+i\&=left[1-left(fraci2right)^2^nright](1+i)\&=left(1-frac12^2^nright)(1+i).endalign*

      Hint: Use mathematical induction. Also, for $n > 2$, $$left(frac1+i2right)^2^n = frac12^2^n-1,$$
      and
      $$left(1-frac12^2^n-1right)left(1+frac12^2^n-1right)=1-frac12^2^n.$$

I've noticed that in most equations given to represent a cone, there is no parameter which defines the tilt of the cone in 3D space and that most of them have their point at the origin $(0,0,0)$ - I was wondering if anyone could give me a more generalized cone equation for a cone in any position in 3D space 3d share | cite | improve this question edited Jul 25 '16 at 0:05 ervx 9,425 3 13 36 asked Jul 24 '16 at 15:38 Charlene 11 2 2 Welcome to Math.SE! Could you please explain a few things to help people give an answer useful to you: 1. What do you mean by "generalized tilt"? 2. Are you asking about a right circular cone? Does the angle at the vertex matter? 3. What form of answer (implicit, parametric...?) are you looking for? 4. If this is homework, what tools do you have available, an...

I assume there would be a relationship because finding the adjoint requires creating a cofactor matrix and then transposing it. linear-algebra determinant adjoint-operators share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 17 '17 at 17:32 CluelessCoder 32 5 For a square matrix $A$ of order $n$, we have $A(operatornameadj A)=(operatornameadj A)A=|A|I_n$ where $I_n$ is the identity matrix of order $n$. This should tell you about the determinant of the adjoint in terms of that of $A$ (use multiplicative property and other elementary properties of determinants). – Prasun Biswas Nov 17 '17 at 17:35 1 @CluelessCoder: see here: math.stackexchange.com/questions/516127/…...

Trivially $nequiv 0 text or 1 pmod3$. I can also prove that if the statement is true for $k$ than it is true for $3k$ as well. How to finish? Please help!

Aren't the side of a regular polygon the same as the edges? A regular $n$-sided polygon has $n$ edges. – hardmath Aug 6 at 21:20 3 $n$ ne...
