comment Can't understand homework assignment
In fact, the common definition of "order" is always $p-1$ divided by the hint's definition of "order" and vice versa.

comment Writing a sum as a fraction
$i \ge i$? :) Anyway, you should note that $2f(x) = \sum (2x^3)^i$ and use the geometric series sum to simplify the second expression. For simplifying the first expression, I think you'll get a second geometric series after finding the common denominator, which will come from the $i=20$ term.

Hint The row-rank and the column-rank of any matrix are equal.

comment Prime numbers; how to do this?
From an algebraic point of view, $1$ doesn't admit a prime factorization :) When you look up the definitions of primes and unique factorization domains, you see that only non-invertible ring elements have a prime factorization. $1$ has the rare property of being an invertible integer, so it doesn't get to have a prime factorization.

comment Is a series (summation) of continuous functions automatically continuous?
Yeah, exchanging summation and integration always requires you to explain why it is allowed. Uniform convergence is a good justification. Sometimes you don't have uniform convergence and it is still justified, but you must then use more powerful tools, such as DCT (Dominated Convergence Theorem). And sometimes it is just wrong.

comment Is a series (summation) of continuous functions automatically continuous?
The sum of two continuous functions is continuous, therefore (you can show this by induction) the sum of any finite amount of continuous functions is continuous.

comment Comparing the value of $\int _0 ^{\frac{\pi}{2}} x^n \sin^nx\,dx$ for different $n$
I don't agree, for $x = 1.5$ we have $x \sin x \approx 1.49$ and thus $(x \sin x)^n \to \infty$.

What about the $x^n$ term which tends to infinity before $\frac \pi 2$?

comment Meaning of $\log$
$\ln$ is always base $e$ but for $\log$ it depends on the context as I explained above.
