    Written Examination

    MATA14/MATA21 (13 hp)


    Saturday 20 January 2018
    Time: 08:00 - 13:00

    Centre for Mathematical Sciences


    Mathematics, Faculty of Science

    No aids allowed. Use the department’s paper and write only on one side. Fill in the cover
    completely and write your initials/code on each sheet. Write clearly and give clear and
    concise justifications.

    1. (0 points) The following exercise tests your basic skills. Only answers should be
    given here. You need 4 out of 5 correct to get a passing grade.
    (a) Simplify the expression
    2x3 z 5
    3y
    2
    .
    y z −3
    6x−1
    (b) Simplify the following expression by factorising it as much as possible:

    3x−1 − 3y −1
    .
    y −2 − x−2

    (c) Find the point of intersection between y = 2 − x and y = x2 − 4.


    (d) What is the domain of ln(x2 + x − 6).
    (e) Determine all x so that tan(x) = 1.

    2. (4 points) Determine the limit

    log(1 + x2 ) arctan(x) − x3
    lim .
    x→0 x5

    3. (2+2 points) Solve the differential equations

    y2 + 1
    (a) y ′ = (b) xy ′ + 2y = cos x.
    x2 +x−6

    4. (2+2+2 points) Determine whether the following series and improper integrals con-
    verge or diverge.
    ∞  ∞
    k2 ∞
    1 + sin2 x
    Z
    X √ √  X
    (a) n+1− n (b) (c) dx
    2k 1 x
    k=1 k=1

    Please, turn over!


    5. (1+4 points)
    (a) State the Mean Value Theorem.
    (b) Show that for all x > 0, we have

    4x − 3 arctan(x) > 2 ln(1 + x2 ).

    Also, very briefly explain how the Mean Value Theorem is relevant for the solution
    of this exercise.

    6. Choose either part (a) or part (b) of this exercise.


    (a) (1+1+3 points) In this exercise you are to consider the following Python code.

    1 S = 0
    2 N = 10
    3 for n in range(0,N):
    4 S = S + (1/3) ∗∗ n
    5 print (S)

    (i) What mathematical object does this code compute? Determine the exact
    value that this code prints. (Give the answer on the form of a fraction).
    (ii) Mathematically, what would the output be if we could replace range(1,N) by
    range(1,infinity)? (That is, if we could let the for-loop run forever.)
    (iii) Use a suitable definition of the limit to prove your answer in (ii).
    (b) (1+4 points) Do the following.
    (i) Define what we mean by the limit

    lim an = L.
    n→∞

    (ii) Use your definition from (i) to prove that

    (n!)2
    lim = 0.
    n→∞ (2n)!

    7. (3+3 points) We consider the integral


    1
    sin x
    Z
    dx.
    0 x

    (a) How many terms of the Taylor polynomial of sin(x) do you need to approximate
    the above integral with an accuracy of more than 10−4 ? State the approximation
    as nicely as you can.
    (b) Show that f (x) = (sin x)/x is monotonous on the interval (0, 1) and use this to
    determine a Riemann sum that approximates the above integral with an accuracy
    of at least 10−4 .
