PART - A
1. Define a sequence.
Solution: If in accordance with a definite rule, every number ‘ n ‘ of a series of natural numbers 1,2,3, . . . n
is put into correspondence with a certain real number , then the set of the ordered real quantities
, . . . is called a number sequence or simply a sequence.
The numbers will be referred mo as the terms of the sequence. The sequence may be
represented as { }={ } or
{ }={ }
Examples:
1. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, . . . is a sequence of numbers.

Solution: If , then { } is divergent.
Example: { n } is divergent because .
5.When is a sequence said to be oscillatory? Give example.
Solution: If is not unique ( oscillates finitely ) or ( oscillates infinitely) then { } is

called an oscillatory sequence.

7.Examine the convergence of the sequence { }
Solution: Here sn =
So ( )
83

www.rejinpaul.com
This shows that sn does not tend to an unique limit. Hence the given sequence is oscillatory.
8.Define a bounded sequence.
Solution: A sequence { sn } is said to be bounded, if there exists a number k such that sn < k for every n.
9.Define a monotonic sequence.
Solution: A sequence { sn } is said to increase steadily or to decrease steadily according as sn+1 sn or sn+1
sn , for all values of n . Both increasing and decreasing sequences are called monotonic sequences.
A monotonic sequence always tends to a limit, finite or infinite. Thus, a sequence which is monotonic and
bounded is convergent.

14.Examine the convergence of the series 2 – 3 + 1 + 2 -3 + 1+ 2 -3 + 1+ . . .
Solution : Construct the partial sum of the series as follows:
S1 = 2, s2 = 2 – 3= -1, s3 = 2 – 3 – 1 =0.
Hence we have, sn =2 -3 + 1 +2 -3 + 1 +2 -3 + 1+ . . . upto n terms.

Solution :Given I    f ( x, y)dydx
0 x2
The given region of integration is bounded by x=0, x=1, y=x2 and x+y=2
In the given integration x is fixed and y is varying
So, after changing the order we have to keep y fixed and x should vary.
After changing the order we have two regions R1 & R2
