Inequality with a sum of constants
Inequality with a sum of constants
Let $x \in \left( - \frac{\pi}{2} , \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$ and consider the function
\[f(x) = a_1 \tan x + a_2 \tan \frac{x}{2} + \cdots +a_n \tan \frac{x}{n}\]
where $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n \in \mathbb{R}$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$. If $\left| f(x) \right| \leq \left| \tan x \right|$ for all $x \in \left( - \frac{\pi}{2} , \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$ then prove that
\[\left| a_1 + \frac{a_2}{2} + \cdots + \frac{a_n}{n} \right| \leq 1\]
\[f(x) = a_1 \tan x + a_2 \tan \frac{x}{2} + \cdots +a_n \tan \frac{x}{n}\]
where $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n \in \mathbb{R}$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$. If $\left| f(x) \right| \leq \left| \tan x \right|$ for all $x \in \left( - \frac{\pi}{2} , \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$ then prove that
\[\left| a_1 + \frac{a_2}{2} + \cdots + \frac{a_n}{n} \right| \leq 1\]
$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s}= \prod_{p \; \text{prime}}\frac{1}{1-p^{-s}}$
