is parallel to
, where is a scalar.
2. Using partial fractions, we find that
Using method of differences (DIY), we have that
3. differs from by less than 1
Plot the graph of and in the GC, sketch it out. * You can key in modulus by pressing (alpha)(window)(1).
Observe that the -coordinates of the intersections points between the graphs are .
