(d) We use mathematical induction. For q = 0: E0 (1  {) = 1 and (1)0 E0 ({) = 1, so the

equation holds for q = 0 since e0 = 1. Now if En (1  {) = (1)n En ({), then

g{ En+1 (1  {) = (1)(1)n En ({) = (1)n+1 En ({). Integrating, we get

En+1 (1  {) = (1)n+1 En+1 ({) + F. But the constant of integration must be 0, since if we substitute { = 0 in

the equation, we get En+1 (1) = (1)n+1 En+1 (0) + F, and if we substitute { = 1 we get

En+1 (0) = (1)n+1 En+1 (1) + F, and these two equations together imply that
 
En+1 (0) = (1)n+1 (1)n+1 En+1 (0) + F + F = En+1 (0) + 2F  F = 0.

So the equation holds for all q, by induction. Now if the power of 1 is odd, then we have

(d) Here we use induction. W0 ({) = 1, a polynomial of degree 0. Now assume that Wn ({) is a polynomial of degree n.

Then Wn+1 ({) = 2{Wn ({)  Wn1 ({). By assumption, the leading term of Wn is dn {n , say, so the leading term of

1. (a) Since the smaller circle rolls without slipping around F, the amount of

arc traversed on F (2u in the gure) must equal the amount of arc of
the smaller circle that has been in contact with F. Since the smaller
circle has radius u, it must have turned through an angle of 2u@u = 2.

In addition to turning through an angle 2, the little circle has rolled

through an angle  against F. Thus, S has turned through an angle of

3 as shown in the gure. (If the little circle had turned through an angle
of 2 with its center pinned to the {-axis, then S would have turned only 2 instead of 3. The movement of the
little circle around F adds  to the angle.) From the gure, we see that the center of the small circle has coordinates
(3u cos > 3u sin ). Thus, S has coordinates ({> |), where { = 3u cos  + e cos 3 and | = 3u sin  + e sin 3.

(b)

e = 15 u e = 25 u e = 35 u e = 45 u

(c) The diagram gives an alternate description of point S on the epitrochoid.

T moves around a circle of radius e, and S rotates one-third as fast with
respect to T at a distance of 3u. Place an equilateral triangle with sides of

length 3 3u so that its centroid is at T and one vertex is at S . (The

distance from the centroid to a vertex is 1 times the length of a side of

3

the equilateral triangle.)

As  increases by 3
, the point T travels once around the circle of radius

e, returning to its original position. At the same time, S (and the rest of the
2
triangle) rotate through an angle of 3
about T, so S ’s position is

occupied by another vertex. In this way, we see that the epitrochoid traced
out by S is simultaneously traced out by the other two vertices as well.

The whole equilateral triangle sits inside the epitrochoid (touching it only with its vertices) and each vertex traces
out the curve once while the centroid moves around the circle three times.

(d) We view the epitrochoid as being traced out in the same way as in part (c), by a rotor for which the distance from its
center to each vertex is 3u, so it has radius 6u. To show that the rotor ts inside the epitrochoid, it sufces to show
that for any position of the tracing point S , there are no points on the opposite side of the rotor which are outside
the epitrochoid. But the most likely case of intersection is when S is on the |-axis, so as long as the diameter of the

rotor (which is 3 3u) is less than the distance between the |-intercepts, the rotor will t. The |-intercepts occur
