Tobias MarschallAccording to https://dba.stackexchange.com/a/307373/156984, both text[] and text[][] have the same internal type _text. If the internal type of both is the same, how can I then actually differentiate them? SELECT * FROM pg_type; just returns one row, representing both types. I would expect it to ...

Q: Show that the function is strictly increasing.

Yuen Seng LaiHow should I show that the function $f$ defined below is strictly increasing for $x\in(0,1)$? I have considered its first derivative, but it seems too complicated to deduce $f'>0$ from there. $f(x)=\frac{3x^2+4x(1-x)+4(1-x)^2}{4x^2}\ln^2{(1-x)}$ $f'(x)=\dfrac{\ln\left(1-x\right)\left(3x^3+\left(2...
