1. (i) State the pinching theorem and use it to calculate the following limit
2 2
lim 5 + 3x + 2x sin(log |x|) .
x→0
(ii) Explain why L’Hôpital’s rule can be applied to only one of the two limits
log(1 − x) log(1 + x)
lim , lim
x→0 e3x − tan x + cos x x→0 e3x − tan x − cos x
and apply it to calculate this limit. Calculate the other limit using any other
approach.
(iii) Use Taylor series to calculate the limit
2. (i) Show that (x+y)−1 is an integrating factor for the ordinary differential equation
y
dx + 1 + e (x + y) dy = 0
and hence find an implicit form for the solution y(x) that satisfies the initial
condition y(1) = 0.
(ii) Find the general solution of the ordinary differential equation
y 00 + 4y 0 + 4y = 6e−2x .
4. (a) Let D be the region of the (x, y) plane where the following inequalities are all
satisfied: x2 + y 2 ≤ 2, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, y ≤ x2 .
Sketch the region D and list the (x, y) coordinates of the three points on the
boundary of D where at least two of the above inequalities become equalities.
(b) Calculate the double integral

(c) Show that evaluating the Fourier series at x = 1 gives a result that is consistent
with Dirichlet’s theorem.
(d) Apply Parseval’s theorem to determine the value of
