Calculus Midterm 1

The document outlines the mid-term exam for a Calculus course, including instructions against cheating and the requirement to attempt all questions. It consists of three main sections: providing examples of various types of sequences and functions, computing limits of given functions, and proving certain properties of continuous functions. Each section includes specific tasks that students must complete to demonstrate their understanding of calculus concepts.

Calculus (MAT - 1000)

Mid Term
Any kind of cheating will lead to cancellation of your mid term.
Need to attempt all the questions.

1. Provide examples for the following (1 × 8) (Write your example clearly. You don’t
need to prove anything).

(i) Give an example of a sequence which is not convergent but has a convergent
subsequence.
(ii) Give an example of a sequence which is not monotone but has a monotone
subsequence.
(iii) Give an example of a monotone sequence which is not convergent.
(iv) A convergent sequence {an : n ∈ N} such that an < 0 for all n but limn→∞ an ≥
0.
(v) A sequence {an : n ∈ N} such that an ∈ [2, 3] for all n and the sequence
{an : n ∈ N} has 2 limit points.
(vi) Construct function f defined on the interval [0, 1] (either give description of f or
draw it’s graph) such that f has right limit everywhere but has a discontinuity
at 1/2.
(vii) Give an example of f with removable discontinuity.
(viii) Give an example of f defined on a bounded interval of R, which is bounded,
i.e., it’s range is a bounded subset of R but does not have a maxima or minima.

2. Compute the respective limits (justification is not required and if it does not exist
then mention that) (1 × 6)

(i) limh→0− f (0 + h) where f (x) = x/|x| for x 6= 0.


x2 +3x−5
(ii) limx→0 f (x) where f (x) = (x−1)(x+2))
for x 6= 1, −2.
(iii) Apply sandwich theorem to compute limx→0 x cos(π/2 + 1/x).
2
(iv) Consider the function f (x) = (x(x−2)
+x−6)
for x 6= 2. Can you define f at the point
2 so that f becomes continuous (need to justify your answer)?
(v) Consider the function
(
2x2 if x ≥ 0
f (x) =
5x3 if x < 0.

Comment on continuity of f at the point 0.

1
(vi) Comment on continuity of f at the point 0.5.

3. Prove the following (2 + 2 + 2):

(a) Let f be a continuous function defined on [0, 1] such that f (x) > 0 for all
x ∈ [0, 1]. Show that there exists m0 > 0 such that f (x) ≥ m0 for all x ∈ [0, 1].
(b) Let f be a continuous function defined on [0, 1] such that f (0.5) > 0. Then
show that f is strictly positive on an interval containing the point 0.5.
3
(c) Consider the sequence {an := n2n +3n−7
3 −5n2 −6n : n ∈ N}. Prove that there exists n0

such that an > 1 for all n ≥ n0 .
