On differentiating $F(x)=ln(2x)$












2












$begingroup$


If we differentiate $F(x)=ln(2x)$ we will get $F'(x) =dfrac2{2x}$ after the shortcut $F'(x)=dfrac1x$, right?



Now if we integrate $F'(x)$ we will get $F(x)=ln(x)$ but also $F(x)=ln(2x)$. This means $ln(2x)=ln(x)$. What happened?

When you integrate, there is an arbitrary constant $C$ added. So you only get
$$ln(2x)=ln(x)+C.$$

But$$F(x)=ln(2x) =ln 2 + ln x$$
So when you integrate back you get $$ln x + C $$
where the constant $C$ should be the $ln 2$ term.

“minimization” problem in Euclidean space related to orthonormal basis

Image
3 $begingroup$ I have stumbled upon an exercice for second year undegraduate student majoring in economics which I find quite demanding. I have an idea for the solution, but it seems awfully complicated, and I am wondering if there was a simpler way to solve it. This goes as follows: Let $(E, langle, rangle)$ be a euclidean space of dimension $n geq 2$ . 1) For any $x in E$ , show that $||x|| = sqrt{n}$ if and only if there exists $(e_1, dots, e_n)$ an orthonormal basis of $E$ such that $x =e_1+ ldots + e_n$ . 2) For any $(x,y) in E$ , show that $||x|| = sqrt{n}$ , $||y|| = sqrt{frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}}$ and $langle x,y rangle = frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ if and only if there eixsts $(e_1, ldots, e_n)$ an orthonormal basis of $E$ such that $x = e_1 + ldots + e_n$ and $y = e_1 + 2e_2 + ldots + ne_n$ The first q
