If n= 1, so k= 2, then this is the determinant $\left|\begin{array}{cc}x_1=&x^{1/2} \\ x^{1/2}=&1\end{array}\right|= x_1- x$= -(x- x_1)[/tex] so the theorem is true for n= 1. Now try doing it for n= 2 so k= 3. Do you see how this determinant is related to the first matrix?

I already did a proof, however, I thought this matrix could be of interest to some people and some other ideas could arise from this. This matrix is based on new high-order root-approximating algorithms based on the Arithmonic Mean (Particular case of the Generalized Mediant). Domingo Gomez Morin

One post is more than enough.
