    Q. 1 Let m, n ∈ N be such that m > n, and let a1 , . . . , am ∈ R be such that


    a1 ≤ · · · ≤ am . Prove that
    a1 + · · · + an a1 + · · · + am
    ≤ .
    n m
    Q. 2 Give an example of f : (0, 1) → R such that f is
    (i) strictly increasing and convex, (ii) strictly increasing and concave,
    (iii) strictly decreasing and convex, (iv) strictly decreasing and concave.
    Q. 3 If n ∈ N and u1 , . . . , un , v1 , . . . , vn ∈ R are such that vi ≥ vi+1 for i = 1, . . . , n,
    where vn+1 := 0, then show that the dot product u · v := ni=1 ui vi satisfies
    P

    |u · v| ≤ U v1 , where U := max{|u1 + · · · + ui | : i = 1, . . . , n}.


    Q. 4 Given a ∈ R, let an := nan for n ∈ N. Determine all possible real numbers a
    for which the sequence (an ) is convergent. Justify your answer.

    an+1
    Q. 5 If (an ) is a sequence of nonzero real numbers such that lim
    exists and
    n→∞ an
    it is less than 1, then show that an → 0.

    Bonus Problems

    B 1 Let n ∈ N and x1 , . . . , xn be positive real numbers. For any p ∈ Q such that


    p 6= 0, let
     p 1/p

    Mp = .
    n
    Prove that Mp ≤ M2p and the equality holds if and only if x1 = · · · = xn .
    B 2 Show that if n ∈ N and a1 , . . . , an are nonnegative real numbers, then
    (a1 + · · · + an )2 ≤ n(a21 + · · · + a2n ).
