Prove statement using mathematical induction for all positive integers $n.$ $$\text { If } 0< x<1, \text { then } 0< x^{n}<1$$
Sequences and Series
Mathematical Induction
$$\begin{aligned} &\text { If } f(x)=x, \text { then } f^{\prime}(x)=1 \cdot x^{0}=1\\ &\text { If } f(x)=x^{2}, \text { then } f^{\prime}(x)=2 x^{1}=2 x \end{aligned}$$ (a) Show that if $\quad f(x)=x^{3}$ $$ \text { then } \quad f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^{2} $$ (b) Prove by induction that for each positive integer $n$ $$ f(x)=x^{n} \quad \text { has derivative } \quad f^{\prime}(x)=n x^{n-1} $$ HINT: $$ (x+h)^{k+1}-x^{k+1}=x(x+h)^{k}-x \cdot x^{k}+h(x+h)^{k} $$

The Derivative
Let $n$ be a positive integer. (a) Prove that if $0: a \cdot . b,$ then $a^{n}<b^{n}$ HINT: Use mathematical induction. (b) Prove that every non negative real number $x$ has a unique non negative $n$ th root $x^{1}$ ". HINT: The existence of $x$. " can be seen by applying the intermediate-value theorem to the function $f(t)=t^{\prime \prime}$ for $t \geq 0 .$ The uniqueness follows from part (a).
