    1. Find the subspace of R3 defined by span((1,2,1), (3,2,-5)) and express a matrix as a linear combination of other matrices. 2. Use the epsilon-delta definition of limits to show that the limit of a piecewise function as x approaches 1 does not exist, and is not continuous at x=1. Also, show that the limit of another piecewise function at x=2 is 0 and it is continuous there. 3. Use properties of limits and the epsilon-delta definition to show the limit of (x-3)^2 as x approaches 3 is 0, and the function is continuous there. Some limits along different paths to (

    3. Express 2x3 − 9x2 + 16x − 9 as a linear combination of x − 1, (x − 1)2 , and


    (x − 1)3 . That is, find real numbers k1 , k2 , and k3 so that 2x3 − 9x2 +
    16x − 9 = k1 (x − 1) + k2 (x − 1)2 + k3 (x − 1)3 .

    4. Let P3 stand for the vector space of all polynomials in x with real coeffi-
    cients. Show that the set

    {p(x) ∈ P3 : p(1) = 0 and deg(p(x)) ≤ 3}

    is a subspace of P3 . Is it equal to the span of x − 1, (x − 1)2 , and (x − 1)3 ?


    Explain which steps must be followed in order to answer this question.

    2 Calculus
    
    0, x < 1,
    1. Let f : R −→ R : f (x) = . Sketch the graph of the function.
    2, x ≥ 1
    Use the ε − δ definition of the limit to show that:

    (a) lim f (x) 6= 2:


    x→1

    i. consider ε = 12 ; for some δ specify the open balls Bε=1/2 (2) and
    Bδ (1)\ {1};

    1
    ii. show that for any δ the panctured ball (the point x = 1 is ex-
    cluded) Bδ (1)\ {1} = {x : 1 − δ < x < 1 + δ} \ {1} contains points
    x where f (x) = 0 ∈/ B1/2 (2).
    (b) lim f (x) 6= 0.
    x→1
    Hence deduce that lim f (x) does not exist.
    x→1
    (c) Is f (x) continuous at x = 1? Justify your answer.
    
    0, x 6= 2,
    2. Consider the function f (x) = . Sketch the graph of the func-
    1, x = 2
    tion.

    (a) calculate the right− and the left− hand side limits at x = 2. Deduce
    that lim f (x) = 0.
    x→2
    
    0, x 6= 2,
    (b) use the ε − δ definition to show that the limit of f (x) =
    1, x = 2
    at x = 2 is 0.
    (c) Is f (x) continuous at x = 2? State your arguments.
    2
    3. Consider the function f (x) = (x − 3) .

    (a) use properties of limits to show that lim f (x) = 0.


    x→3
    (b) use the ε − δ definition to show that lim f (x) = 0.
    x→3
    (c) Is this function continuous at x = 3? State your arguments.

    4. Letting (x, y) approach (0, 0) along different lines y = ax, where a is a


    real constant (then f (x, y) = f (x, ax)) calculate the limits

    2xy x2 − y 2
    (a) lim ; (b) lim
    (x,ax)→(0,0) x2 − 5y 2 (x,y)→(0,0) x2 + y 2
    and explain why they do not exist.
    
    5. Consider the function with domain A = (x, y) ∈ R2 : (x, y) 6= (0, 0)
    given by:
    2x2 y
    f (x, y) = 4 .
    x + y2
    Letting (x, y) approach (0, 0) along straight lines y = ax, where a is a real
    constant, show that the limiting value is zero.
    It is not enough to deduce that the limit exists. Explain why.
    Show that f (x, y) is constant along each parabola of the form y = kx2 in
    A.
    Explain why f (x, y) has no limit as (x, y) → (0, 0). Is it possible to assign
    a value to f (0, 0) in such a way as to make f continuous at (0, 0)?
