Question
Show that if r is a nonzero real number, k and m are distinct integers, and \(a_{k}\) and \(a_{m}\) are any real numbers, then there exist unique real numbers C and D so that
\(Cr^{k} + kDr^{k} = a_{k}\)
\(Cr^{m} + lDr^{m} = a_{m}\).
Text Transcription:

a_m
Cr^k + kDr^k = a_k
Cr^m + lDr^m = a_m
Solution
The first step in solving 5.8 problem number 20 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Show that if r is a nonzero real number, k and m are distinct integers, and \(a_{k}\) and \(a_{m}\) are any real numbers, then there exist unique real numbers C and D so that\(Cr^{k} + kDr^{k} = a_{k}\)\(Cr^{m} + lDr^{m} = a_{m}\).Text Transcription:a_ka_mCr^k + kDr^k = a_kCr^m + lDr^m = a_m
