1. Suppose 𝑓(𝑥) = |𝑥 3 | + 𝑥, 𝑥 ∈ ℝ . Determine whether Lagrange’s mean value theorem is


applicable or not on 𝑓(𝑥) over the interval [−1,2].
If YES, then find all 𝑐 ∈ (−1,2) such that 3𝑓 ′ (𝑐) = 𝑓(2) − 𝑓(−1).

2. Use Rolle’s theorem to prove that the equation 𝑥 5 + 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 + 1 = 0 can have at most one
negative real root.
HINT: Assume 𝒇(𝒂) = 𝒇(𝒃) = 𝟎 where 𝒂 < 𝒃 < 𝟎 to arrive at a contradiction!

3. Suppose 𝑓(𝑥) is differentiable such that 𝑓(1) = 4, 𝑓(2) = 16 and 𝑔(𝑥) is strictly
monotonic continuous curve that passes through the points (1, 𝛼 2 ) and (2,4). If 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) =
8𝑔′(𝑥) then use Cauchy’s mean value theorem to determine the possible value(s) of 𝛼.

4. Suppose 𝑓(𝑥) is an infinite differentiable function in an interval 𝐼 ⊆ ℝ and 𝛼 ∈ 𝐼. If


∞

𝑓(𝑥) = ∑ 𝑎𝑛 (𝑥 − 𝛼)𝑛
𝑛=0

represents the Taylor’s series expansion for 𝑓(𝑥) then prove that the coefficient 𝑎𝑛 is given
by
𝑓 (𝑛) (𝛼)
𝑎𝑛 =
𝑛!
where 𝑓 (𝑛) denotes the 𝑛𝑡ℎ derivative of 𝑓. Use this result to find the coefficient of
𝜋 3
(𝑥 − 2 ) in Taylor’s series expansion of 𝑒 𝑥 (sin 𝑥 + cos 𝑥).

5. Graph the function 𝑦(𝑥): (−1,1) ⟶ ℝ where 𝑦(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 −1 and determine its range. Also,

find the 𝑛𝑡ℎ derivative of 𝑦(𝑥).

6. If 𝑦(𝑥) = (𝑠𝑖𝑛−1 𝑥)2 , then prove that


(1 − 𝑥 2 ) 𝑦 𝑛+2 (𝑥) − (2𝑛 + 1)𝑥 𝑦𝑛+1 (𝑥) − 𝑛2 𝑦𝑛 (𝑥) = 0
Department of Mathematics TUTORIAL SHEET 1

where 𝑦𝑛 (𝑥) denotes the 𝑛𝑡ℎ derivative of 𝑦(𝑥). Hence find 𝑦𝑛 (0) i.e. the value of 𝑦𝑛 at
𝑥 = 0.
7. Consider the function 𝑓: ℝ2 ⟶ ℝ defined as

𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) = ∑(𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 )𝑘
𝑘=1
𝜕𝑓 𝜕𝑓 𝜕𝑓 𝜕𝑓
Prove that 𝑦 𝜕𝑥 + 𝑥 𝜕𝑦 = 0. Also find the value of (𝑥 𝜕𝑥 + 𝑦 𝜕𝑦) at the point (0,0).

8. Consider the function 𝑓: ℝ3 \{0,0,0} ⟶ ℝ3 defined as follows:


𝑦𝑧 𝑥𝑧 𝑥𝑦
𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) = (𝑢, 𝑣, 𝑤) where 𝑢 = ,𝑣= and 𝑤 = .
𝑥 𝑦 𝑧

Show that the value of Jacobian determinant is 4 i.e.

𝜕(𝑢, 𝑣, 𝑤)
|𝐽|=| | = 4.
𝜕(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧)

9. Prove that the point (0,0) is a saddle point for the function 𝑓: ℝ2 ⟶ ℝ defined by
𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑥 3 + 2𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦 3 . Also find a local maximum value of 𝑓.

10. Find the maxima, minima and saddle points, if any, for the function 𝑓: ℝ2 ⟶ ℝ defined
by 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) = (𝑦 − 𝑥 2 )(𝑦 − 2𝑥 2 ).
