Hello,
I’m currently having trouble in attempting this question:
I’m completely confused as to where to begin in proving part (i) I have tried to take a general graph of y = 1 + (1/x) and sketching it to help me but its of no use as far as I can see, I know from the question that x1, x2, x3, ... , xn cannot equal 0 but that means they could be < 0 or > 0, I can see if we take a limit as x -> +- inf that the value of x tends to 1 as seen on the graph by the asymptote, I think its something to do with this asymptote but I’m unsure how to construct this.
Any help is greatly appreciated, many thanks
