Problem Set 4

1. A sequence of real numbers {xk }∞k=1 → ∞, if for every positive integer


M , we can find a N such that for all n ≥ N , xn > M . Show that
(a) limx→0 x1 = ∞
(b) limx→∞ x1 = 0
2. f, g, and h are functions from R to R. Suppose that f (x) ≤ g(x) ≤ h(x)
for all x 6= p in some neighbourhood of p. Suppose also that limx→p f (x) =
limx→p h(x) = M . Show that limx→p g(x) = M
3. If n is a positive integer, a ∈ R and a > 0 then show that there is exactly
one positive b such that bn = a.
4. Assume f : R → R is a continuous function. Show that E 0 = {x ∈ R |
f (x) = 0} is a closed set. How about E + = {x ∈ R | f (x) > 0}?
5. Answer the following questions for each function provided below:
(a) Is this function continuous? If not, identify all points where it is not
continuous.
(b) Does this function have partial derivatives? If not, identify all points
where it does not have partial derivative. Compute partial derivates where
they exist.
(c) Is this function differentiable? If not, identify all points where it is not
differentiable.
(i) f (x1 , x2 ) = max{x1 , x2 }
(ii) f (x1 , x2 ) = (xx21+x
,x2
2 ) for all (x1 , x2 ) 6= (0, 0) and f (0, 0) = 0
