Understand the Problem
The question includes multiple tasks related to mathematical concepts. The user is asking to demonstrate properties of functions, discuss the Mean Value Theorem, analyze simultaneous linear equations using matrices, and elaborate on sequences with examples.
Answer
1. $e^x \sin x$ has at least one root between the roots of $e^x - \cos x$. 2. The Cauchy Mean Value Theorem involves two functions and can find a point where their derivatives maintain a ratio based on their changes. 3. A system of linear equations is consistent if the rank of the coefficient matrix equals the rank of the augmented matrix. 4. Sequences are ordered lists; examples include arithmetic sequences defined by $a_n = a + (n-1)d$ and geometric sequences defined by $a_n = ar^{n-1}$.

-
There exists at least one root of ( e^x \sin x = 0 ) between any two roots of ( e^x - \cos x = 0 ) due to the Intermediate Value Theorem.

The Cauchy Mean Value Theorem states that if two functions are continuous and differentiable, then at least one point ( c ) exists where the ratio of their derivatives equals the ratio of their changes.
-
A system of linear equations is consistent if the rank of the coefficient matrix equals the rank of the augmented matrix.
-
A sequence is an ordered list of numbers; examples include arithmetic and geometric sequences.
Steps to Solve
-
Finding the roots of ( e^x - \cos x = 0 )
First, identify the roots of the equation ( e^x = \cos x ). We'll denote the roots as ( x_1 ) and ( x_2 ).
-
Analyzing ( e^x \sin x - 0 )
Next, consider the function ( f(x) = e^x \sin x ). To find roots, we need ( f(x) = 0 ), which happens when ( \sin x = 0 ), i.e., at points ( k\pi ) for ( k \in \mathbb{Z} ).
-
Applying the Intermediate Value Theorem
Since ( e^x ) is positive for all real ( x ), if ( \sin x ) changes from positive to negative (or vice versa) between ( x_1 ) and ( x_2 ), the Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees at least one root of ( e^x \sin x = 0 ) in ( (x_1, x_2) ).
-
Graphical Representation and Geometry
Graph the functions ( e^x ) and ( \cos x ). Their intersections mark the roots of ( e^x - \cos x = 0 ). The sine function oscillates between -1 and 1, which also intersects the curve above and below a positive exponential, thus confirming roots of ( e^x \sin x = 0 ) between these points.
-
Discussion of the Cauchy Mean Value Theorem (CMVT)
The CMVT states that if two functions ( f ) and ( g ) are continuous on ([a, b]) and differentiable on ((a, b)), then there exists at least one ( c \in (a, b) ) such that: $$ \frac{f'(c)}{g'(c)} = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{g(b) - g(a)} $$ Discuss examples like ( f(x) = x^2 ) and ( g(x) = x ).
-
Differentiating CMVT and L'Hôpital's Rule (L MVT)
Similarities: Both relate the rate of change (derivatives) of functions.
Differences: CMVT involves two functions, while L MVT is focused on limits and applies to indeterminate forms.

Discussing Consistency of Simultaneous Linear Equations via Matrices
Use the coefficient matrix ( A ) from a system of equations. A system is consistent if the rank of ( A ) is equal to the rank of the augmented matrix ( [A | b] ).
Examples include:
- Example 1: Two equations ( 2x + 3y = 5 ) and ( 4x + 6y = 10 ), which are dependent (infinite solutions).
- Example 2: Two independent equations like ( x + y = 2 ) and ( x - y = 0 ) (unique solution).
-
Discussing Sequences with Examples
A sequence is defined as a list of numbers in a specific order. Discuss:
- Example 1: Arithmetic sequence ( a_n = a + (n-1)d ).
- Example 2: Geometric sequence ( a_n = ar^{n-1} ).

More Information
These concepts are fundamental in calculus and linear algebra, helping to understand continuity, differentiability, and the behavior of equations and sequences. The use of graphical interpretations aids in visualizing these mathematical principles.
Tips
- Confusing the conditions of the Mean Value Theorem with those of the Cauchy Mean Value Theorem.
- Neglecting to check that functions are continuous and differentiable, which are prerequisites for applying theorems.
- Misunderstanding the difference between dependent and independent linear equations in matrix representation.
