    For 6 a), let


    √
    x= 1 + n2 .
    We have
    √ √
    √ ( 1 + n2 − n)( 1 + n2 + n)
    x=n+ 1+ n2 −n=n+ √
    ( 1 + n2 + n)
    1
    =n+ √
    ( 1 + n2 + n)
    and hence
    1
    x=n+ .
    n+x
    Iterating this relationship gives
    1
    x=n+ 1
    n + n + n+x
    1
    =n+ 1
    2n + n+x
    1
    =n+
    2n + 2n+1 1
    n+x

    and so on.... Hence


    √
    1 + n2 = [n, 2n, 2n, 2n, 2n, . . . ].
    For 6 b), by Theorem 0.62 of the course notes, we have
    xpk + pk−1
    f (x) = [a0 , . . . , ak , x] =
    xqk + qk−1
    where
    pj
    = [a0 , . . . , aj ].
    qj
    Hence
    Z 1 Z 1
    xpk + pk−1
    f (x)dx = dx
    0 0 xqk + qk−1
    Since for any a, b, c, d,
    (bc − ad) log cx + d + acx
    Z
    ax + b
    dx =
    cx + d c2

    after some, algebraic manipulations, the above implies


    Z 1
    pk (−1)k
     
    qk
    f (x)dx = + log 1 +
    0 qk qk2 qk−1
