Assignment 1

(1) This document contains 14 problems related to limits, continuity, differentiability, Rolle's theorem, and Lagrange's mean value theorem from a mathematics assignment. The problems involve evaluating limits, using the epsilon-delta definition of limits, determining continuity and differentiability of functions, and applying Rolle's theorem and the mean value theorem. (2) The document provides functions and equations and asks the reader to show properties of those functions such as determining limits, continuity, differentiability, and applying theorems. It also asks the reader to find values that satisfy the conclusions of theorems or solve equations. (3) The problems cover a range of core calculus topics and techniques including

Topics: Limit, Continuity, Differentiability, Rolle’s Theorem and Lagrange’s Mean Value
Theorems.

(1) Evaluate lim , where c is a constant.
x→0 x
(2) Using ϵ − δ definition show that
1
(i) lim (5x − 3) = 2, (ii) lim (4x − 5) = 7, (iii) lim x sin = 0.
x→1 x→3 x→0 x

(3) For the limit lim (x − 1) = 2, find a δ > 0 that works for ϵ = 1.
x→5

(4) Let f be continuous on the interval [a, b] and suppose that f (c) ̸= 0 for some c ∈ (a, b).
Show that there exists δ > 0 with the property that f (x) ̸= 0 for every x ∈ (c − δ, c + δ).

(5) Let f : [0, 1] → R be given by,


{
x , x is rational
f (x) =
x2 , x is irrational
Show that f is continuous at 0 and 1, but is not continuous at any point in (0, 1).
{
x2 sin( x1 ) for x ̸= 0,
(6) Show that the function f (x) = is differentiable at all x ∈ R.
0 for x = 0,
Also show that the function f ′ (x) is not continuous at x = 0. Thus, a function that is
differentiable at every point of R need not have a continuous derivative f ′ (x).

(7) Let K > 0 and let f : R → R satisfy the condition |f (x) − f (y)| ≤ K |x − y| for all
x, y ∈ R. Show that f (x) = sin x is continuous at every point c ∈ R.

(8) Let f (0) = 0 and f ′ (0) = 1. For positive integer k, show that
1{ (x) (x) ( x )} 1 1 1

(9) Discuss the applicability of Rolle’s Theorem for the function f (x) = 1 − x 3 , on the
interval [−1, 1].

(10) Prove that the equation x3 + x − 1 = 0 has exactly one real root.

(11) Show that between any two roots of ex cos x − 1 = 0, there exists atleast one root of
ex sin x − 1 = 0.

(12) Suppose that f (0) = −3 and f ′ (x) ≤ 5 for all values of x. How large can f (2) possibly be?

(13) If f ′ (x) = 0 for all x in an interval (a, b), then show that f is constant on (a, b). Hence,
prove the identity tan−1 (x) + cot−1 (x) = π2 .

(14) Verify the function f (x) = x3 − x satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean value theorem
in [0, 2]. Then, find all the numbers c that satisfies the conclusion of the Mean Value
theorem.
