If a and b are distinct integers, prove that a - b is a factor of \(a^n - b^n\) , whenever n is a positive integer. [Hint: write\( a ^n = (a - b + b)^n\) and expand]
Find the derivative of the following functions (it is to be understood that a, b, c, d, p, q, r and s are fixed nonzero constants and m and n are integers): sin n x
