Assigned Problems

Due May 19 $ ^$th , in lecture.
  1. Prove that,

    $\displaystyle \frac{1}{1-\sin\theta} + \frac{1}{1+\sin\theta} = 2\sec^2\theta.
$

  2. Find the (shortest) distance between $ (-1,3)$ and the line $ y=4x-5$ .

  3. The Fibonacci numbers are defined recursively:

    \begin{equation*}\begin{aligned}
{\mathcal F}_1 = 1, &&{\mathcal F}_2 = 1,
&&{...
..._{n-1}+{\mathcal F}_{n-2} \text{ for all } n\geq 3.
\end{aligned}\end{equation*}

    (The first few Fibonacci numbers are: $ 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, \dots$ )

    Prove that for all $ j\geq 1$ , $ {\mathcal F}_{4j}$ is divisible by $ 3$ .
