severely.

1. Let f : [a, b] → R be twice differentiable and let f (a) = f (b) = 0 and f (c) > 0, where
c ∈ (a, b). Show that there exists ξ ∈ (a, b) such that f 00 (ξ) < 0.
2. State TRUE or FALSE giving proper justification for the following statement. There
exists a continuous function f : R → R2 such that f (cos n) = (n, n1 ) for all n ∈ N.
3. Show that there does not exist a non-constant continuous function f : R2 → R such that
f (x, y) = 5 for all (x, y) ∈ R2 with x2 + y 2 < 1.
4. Let f : [0, 4] → R be a thrice differentiable function in (0, 4) such that
f (0) = −1, f (1) = 2, f (3) = −2, f (4) = 4.
Let g(x) = f (x)f 0 (x)f 00 (x) + 4. Using the mean value theorem, find the minimum number
of distinct roots of g 0 (x) = 0.
5. Find the limit (if exist)
x7 y 8

(x,y)→(0,0) x21 + y 12
Justify your answer in the case of non-existence.
6. Let (

, (x, y) 6= (0, 0)
f (x, y) =
0, (x, y) = (0, 0).
Discuss continuity of f (x, y) and existence of first order partial derivatives.
7. For the function
x2 tan−1 ( xy ) − y 2 tan−1 ( xy ), when x 6= 0, y 6= 0,

f (x, y) =
0, elsewhere.
Show that fxy (0, 0) 6= fyx (0, 0) and neither fxy nor fyx is continuous at (0, 0).
8. Consider the following function:
 2
(x + y 2 ) log(x2 + y 2 ), when x2 + y 2 =
6 0,
f (x, y) = 2 2
0, when x + y = 0.
Show that fxy (0, 0) = fyx (0, 0) although neither fxy nor fyx is continuous at (0, 0).

9. Consider the function f (x, y) = |xy|. Show that Taylor’s expansion about the point
(x, x) is not valid in any domain which includes the origin.
10. Find the expansion of sin(xy) in powers of (x − 1) and (y − π/2) up to and including third
degree terms.
