MA131 ANALYSIS II: ASSIGNMENT 1

Solutions must be handed in by 14:00, Thursday, January 19th. Each week homework will be handed out, due by noon on Thursday of the following week. Please submit your work to the supervisors pigeon loft in the Street before noon on Thursdays. This work will be due in weeks 2 to 10. Each assignment will consist of three sections. The problems in the rst section are warm-up problems which you should make sure you know how to do before attacking problems in section B. You will notice that often there are hints in the questions from section A that help in the later questions. Your solutions should be easy to read and to the point. You should always write in complete sentences. Your answers should include explanations and justications, and 20% of your mark will be awarded for clarity. A clear, brief solution is best! Section C problems consist of additional exercises which may be harder. You should always spend some time thinking about these, as they may be referred to in the lectures or even crop up in the exam! A: Warm-up questions. (Not to hand in!) Exercise 1. Sketch the graphs of the following functions, stating precisely where each graph crosses the x-axis. In each case, calculate the image {f (x) : x R} of the function f . (a) f : R R, (b) f : R R, (c) f : R R, (d) f : R R, f (x) = x2 3x + 2. f (x) = x2 4x + 4. f (x) = x2 + 1. f (x) = [x] = the largest integer n with n x (integer part of x)

(b) limm cos(/3)

. B: Problems to hand in.

Exercise 3. Sketch the graphs of the following functions, stating precisely where each graph crosses the x-axis. In each case calculate the image {f (x) : x R} of the function f . (a) f (x) = (b) f (x) =

Exercise 5.

(a) Dene f : R R by f (x) = x2 (sin(1/x))2 0 if x = 0, if x = 0.

Let = 1/100. Find a number > 0 such that |x| < implies |f (x) f (0)| < . Let = 1/1000. Find a number > 0 such that |x| < implies |f (x) f (0)| < . Determine for what values of > 0, it is possible to nd a > 0 such that |x| < implies |f (x) f (0)| < . (b) Dene f : R R by f (x) =
x |x|

if x = 0, if x = 0.

Let = 1/100. Is it possible to nd a > 0 such that |x| < implies |f (x) f (0)| < ? Justify your answer. Let = 2. Is it possible to nd a > 0 such that |x| < implies |f (x) f (0)| < ? Justify your answer. Determine for what values of > 0, it is possible to nd a > 0 such that |x| < implies |f (x) f (0)| < . [ 8 marks] Exercise 6. Sometimes the words if. . . then are used in place of . For example, intead of saying For all > 0,there exists > 0 such that . . . , people sometimes write If > 0 then there exists > 0 such that . . . . Carefully write down the denition of Cauchy sequence without using the word if . How many quantiers are there? Now carefully write down the meaning of (xn ) is not a Cauchy sequence without using the word not (see the discussion of negation on pages 17-19 of the online course lecture notes at www.warwick.ac.uk/masbm/ana.html). [ 3 marks] C: Extra Problems. Exercise 7. Show that for every x R, the limit

exists and nd its value ( which depends on x). Exercise 8. Sketch the graphs of x sin x and x sin(1/x) paying special attention to the behaviour of the graphs near the origin. Exercise 9. Prove that the series
n=1

sin(n2 x) n2

converges absolutely for all x R. If you have access to a computer or graphical calculator, 2 2 plot the functions f1 (x) = sin(x), then f2 (x) = 2 sin(n x) , and f3 (x) = 3 sin(n x) . n=1 n=1 n2 n2 What about f (x) = sin(n x) ? (The series f (x) actually denes the famous Weiern=1 n2 strass function which is everywhere continuous but nowhere dierentiable.)
