implies lim f(x)/g(x)=L

Question 3

Continuous Limit Theorem

Answer 3

Let (fn) be a sequence of functions defined on A ⊆ R that converges uniformly on A to a function f. If each fn is continuous at c ∈ A, then f is continuous at c.

Question 4

Intermediate Value Property

Answer 4

A function f has the intermediate value property on an
interval [a, b] if for all x < y in [a, b] and all L between f(x) and f(y), it is always possible to find a point c ∈ (x, y) where f(c) = L.

For each n ∈ N, let fn and f be functions defined on a set A ⊆ R. The infinite series converges pointwise on A to f(x) if the sequence sk(x) of partial sums defined by

A partition P of [a, b] is a finite set of points from [a, b] that includes both a and b. The notational convention is to always list the points of a partition P = {x0, x1, x2,…,xn} in increasing order

Answer 15

A bounded function f defined on the interval [a, b] is Riemann-integrable if U(f) = L(f). In this case, we define ∫f or ∫f(x)dx to be this common value.

Question 16

Interior Extremum Theorem PROOF

Answer 16

Theorem:
Let f be differentiable on an open interval (a, b). If f attains a maximum value at some point c ∈ (a, b)
(i.e., f(c) ≥ f(x) for all x ∈ (a, b)), then f’(c)=0. The same is true if f(c) is a minimum value.
.
Proof:
.
Because c is in the open interval (a, b), we can construct two sequences (xn) and (yn), which converge to c and satisfy xn

Question 17

Continuous Limit Theorem PROOF

Answer 17

Theorem:
Let (fn) be a sequence of continuous functions defined on A ⊆ R that converges uniformly on A to a function f. If each fn is continuous at c ∈ A, then f is continuous at c.
.
Proof:
.
Fix c ∈ A and let ϵ > 0. Choose N so that
|fN(x) − f(x)| < ϵ/3
for all x ∈ A. Because fN is continuous, there exists a δ > 0 for which
|fN(x) − fN(c)| < ϵ/3
is true whenever |x − c| < δ. But this implies

|f(x) − f(c)|
= |f(x) − fN(x) + fN(x) − fN(c) + fN(c) − f(c)|
≤ |f(x) − fN(x)|+|fN(x) − fN(c)|+|fN(c) − f(c)|
< ϵ/3 + ϵ/3 + ϵ/3 = ϵ

Question 18

Characterization of Compactness in R PROOF

Answer 18

A set K ⊆ R is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded
Let K be compact. We will first prove that K must be bounded, so assume, for contradiction, that K is not a bounded set. The idea is to produce a sequence in K that marches off to infinity in such a way that it cannot have a convergent subsequence as the definition of compact requires. To do this, notice that because K is not bounded there must exist an element x1 ∈ K satisfying |x1| > 1. Likewise, there must exist x2 ∈ K with |x2| > 2, and in general, given any n ∈ N, we can produce xn ∈ K such that |xn| > n.

Now, because K is assumed to be compact, (xn) should have a convergent subsequence (xnk). But the elements of the subsequence must satisfy |xnk| > nk, and consequently (xnk) is unbounded. Because convergent sequences are bounded (Theorem 2.3.2), we have a contradiction. Thus, K must at least be a bounded set.

Next, we will show that K is also closed. To see that K contains its limit points, we let x = lim xn, where (xn) is contained in K and argue that x must be in K as well. By Definition 3.3.1, the sequence (xn) has a convergent subsequence (xnk), and by Theorem 2.5.2, we know (xnk) converges to the same limit x. Finally, Definition 3.3.1 (A set K ⊆ R is compact if every sequence in K has a subsequence that converges to a limit that is also in K) requires that x ∈ K. This proves that K is closed

Question 19

Baire’s Theorem PROOF

Answer 19

The set of real numbers R cannot be
written as the countable union of nowhere-dense sets

To start, assume that E1, E2, E3, . . . are each nowhere-dense and satisfy R = infinite union of En

By the definition of En being nowhere-dense, the closure En contains no nonempty open intervals meaning we can apply Exercise 3.5.5 to conclude that the infinite union of En-closure is not equal to R

Since each En is a subset of En-closure, then we know that the infinite untion of En is also not equal to R, which is a contradiction

Question 20

Uniform Continuity of Compact Sets

Answer 20

A function that is continuous on a compact set K is uniformly continuous on K.

Assume f : K → R is continuous at every point of a compact set K ⊆ R.

To prove that f is uniformly continuous on K we argue by contradiction.

By the criterion in Theorem 4.4.5, if f is not uniformly continuous on K, then there exist two sequences (xn) and (yn) in K such that lim |xn − yn| = 0 while |f(xn) − f(yn)| ≥ ε0 for some particular
ε0 > 0. Because K is compact, the sequence (xn) has a convergent subsequence (xnk) with x = lim xnk also in K.

We could use the compactness of K again to produce a convergent subsequence of (yn), but notice what happens when we consider the particular subsequence (ynk) consisting of those terms in (yn) that correspond to the terms in the convergent subsequence (xnk). By the Algebraic Limit Theorem,

lim(ynk) = lim((ynk − xnk) + xnk) = 0 + x.

The conclusion is that both (xnk) and (ynk) converge to x ∈ K. Because f isassumed to be continuous at x, we have lim f(xnk) = f(x) and lim f(ynk) = f(x), which implies lim(f(xnk) − f(ynk)) = 0.

A contradiction arises when we recall that (xn) and (yn) were chosen to satisfy
|f(xn) − f(yn)| ≥ ε0
for all n ∈ N. We conclude, then, that f is indeed uniformly continuous on K

Question 21

A set is compact if every open cover of A contains a finite subcover of A

Question 30

Question 69

If A is open and unbounded, then Ac is compact

Answer 69

FALSE

Question 70

Nested Interval Property

Answer 70

In order to show that the infinite intersection is not empty, we are going to use the Axiom of Completeness (AoC) to produce a single real number x satisfying x ∈ In for every n ∈ N. Now, AoC is a statement about bounded sets, and theone we want to consider is the set of left-hand endpoints of the intervals: A = {an : n ∈ N} Because the intervals are nested, we see that every bn serves as an upper bound for A. Thus, we are justified in setting x = sup A Now, consider a particular In = [an, bn]. Because x is an upper bound for A, we have an ≤ x. The fact that each bn is an upper bound for A and that x is the least upper bound implies x ≤ bn Altogether then, we have an ≤ x ≤ bn, which means x ∈ In for every choice of n ∈ N. Hence, x ∈ the infinite intersection and the intersection is not empty.

Question 71

Monotone Convergence Theorem

Answer 71

Let (an) be monotone and bounded. To prove (an) converges using the definition of convergence, we are going to need a candidate for the limit. Let’s assume the sequence is increasing (the decreasing case is handled similarly), and consider the set of points {an : n ∈ N}. By assumption, this set is bounded, so we can let s = sup{an : n ∈ N}. It seems reasonable to claim that lim an = s To prove this, let ε > 0. Because s is the least upper bound for {an: n ∈ N}, s − ε is not an upper bound, so there exists a point in the sequence aN such that s − ε < aN .Now, the fact that (an) is increasing implies that if n ≥ N, then aN ≤ an. Hence, s − ε < aN ≤ an ≤ s < s + ε which implies |an − s| < ε, as desired

Question 72

Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem

Answer 72

Let (an) be a bounded sequence so that there exists M > 0 satisfying|an| ≤ M for all n ∈ N. Bisect the closed interval [−M,M] into the two closed intervals [−M, 0] and [0, M]. (The midpoint is included in both halves.) Now, it must be that at least one of these closed intervals contains an infinite number of the terms in the sequence (an). Select a half for which this is the case and label that interval as I1. Then, let an1 be some term in the sequence (an) satisfying an1 ∈ I1. Next, we bisect I1 into closed intervals of equal length, and let I2 be a half that again contains an infinite number of terms of the original sequence. Because there are an infinite number of terms from (an) to choose from, we can select an an2 from the original sequence with n2 > n1 and an2 ∈ I2. In general, we construct the closed interval Ik by taking a half of Ik−1 containing an infinite number of terms of (an) and then select nk > nk−1 > ··· > n2 > n1 so that ank ∈ Ik. We want to argue that (ank ) is a convergent subsequence, but we need a candidate for the limit. The sets I1 ⊇ I2 ⊇ I3 ⊇··· form a nested sequence of closed intervals, and by the Nested Interval Property there exists at least one point x ∈ R contained in every Ik. This provides us with the candidate we were looking for. It just remains to show that (ank) → x Let ε > 0. By construction, the length of Ik is M(1/2)k−1 which converges to zero. (This follows from Example 2.5.3 and the Algebraic Limit Theorem.) Choose N so that k ≥ N implies that the length of Ik is less than ε. Because x and ank are both in Ik, it follows that |ank − x| < ε

Question 73

Let A subset of R be a set and suppose inf A = a exists. Prove there is a sequence (an) where an ∈ A for all n, and lim an = a. Hint: Specifying values of ε equal to 1/n for integers n may help.

Answer 73

Let s = inf A There is an an ∈ A with an < s + 1/n Thus s - 1/n < s <= an < s + 1/n Thus |an - s | < 1/n Let ε > 0 be given choose N so that 1/N < ε. Then if n > N, |an - s| < 1/n < 1/N < ε

Question 74

Let A subset of R be a bounded nonempty set and let c > 0. Define the set cA = {ca : a ∈ A}. Prove that inf cA = c inf A

Answer 74

Let s = inf A thus s <= a implying cs <= ca, so cs is a lower bound (which is one half of the lema) Then there is an a ∈ A with a < s + ε/c Thus ca < cs + ε Thus cs <= ca < cs + ε Thus cs is the greatest lower bound

Answer 86

Define F as elements of A where f(x) = 0 The same for G where f(x) = 1 Clearly F∩G is empty and FUG = A Let y be a limit point of F, then there is a sequence with (yn) -> y Since f is continuous, f(yn) -> f(y), but since f(yn) = 0, f(y) = 0, and y ∈ F, f MUST be closed. Similarly G is closed Thus F closure = F and the same for G, thus if F∩G is empty then they are separated, thus FUG represents a disconnected set, which is A.

Question 87

Let f : R -> R be continuous and let A = {x ∈ R : f(x)=0} Show that A is a closed set.

Answer 87

Let y be a limit point of A, then there is a sequence yn with (yn) -> y. Since F is continuous, f(yn) -> f(y). Since both are zero, y must be in A, hence A is closed

Question 88

Let h(x) = 1/x^2 Show that h(x) is not uniformly continuous on (0,1)

Answer 88

Let xn = 1/x and yn = 1/x^2 We can use these because (xn) (yn) -> 0 Thus (xn - yn) -> 0 However, |h(xn) - h(yn)| = n^2|n^2 - 1| If n >= 2, n^2 >= 4 and n^2 - 1 >= 3 Thus |h(xn) - h(yn)| >= 3n^2 which approaches infinity as n does, thus n is not uniformly continuous

TRUE

Question 100

How do you show that a derivative and a second derivative exists at a point a?

Answer 100

Set up: lim (x->a) f(x) - f(a) / x - a Simplify Find limit If f'(x) exists, do the same thing but with f'(x) - f'(a) / x - a And then solve

Question 101

How do you show that a sequence of functions converges uniformly?

Answer 101

|fn(x) - f(x)| < ϵ use inequalities so that you get ~ < ϵ Assume n >= N Choose N = ~ Work backwards until you get to fn(x) (you can use x ∈ [a, b] in the inequalities)

Question 102

How do you find the radius of convergence if you already have the series function?

Answer 102

R is where |Fn+1(x) / Fn(x)| < 1 The center is where the expression containing x is equal to zero If you want the interval you must check the end points

Question 103

How do you find the power series of a function?

Answer 103

alter the function until it is of the form 1 / (1 - x) if there is an x on the outside, put it in front of the normal geometric series Σx^n if there is a 1 / (1 - x)^2 , you simply take the derivative of the original geometric series function (Σnx^n-1) plug in - (x) into the geometric series

Question 104

Suppose f : A → R and g : B → R are differentiable on their domains and that f (A) ⊆ B. Then g ◦ f is differentiable on its domain

Answer 104

TRUE

Question 105

Let (fn) be a sequence of functions defined on [a, b] and suppose (f'n) converges uniformly on [a, b]. Then (fn) converges uniformly on [a, b].

Answer 105

False,

Question 106

Every Taylor series converges on all of R.

Answer 106

FALSE

Question 107

A power series that converges on (R, R] is continuous on(R, R]

Answer 107

TRUE

Question 108

The sequence of functions 1/(1 + x^n) converges uniformly on [0, 1]

Answer 108

False, this is only if |x| < 1

Question 109

It is possible for a function to be discontinuous at countably many points and still be integrable.

Answer 109

True, this is false for Reimann integrability, but true for Lebesgue integrability. It does not mean that every function is, only that it is possible.

Question 110

Suppose f is bounded on [a, b]. If f is integrable on [a, c] for every c ∈ (a, b), then f is integrable on [a, b].

Answer 110

TRUE

Question 111

If f is a bounded function on [a, b], then the upper sum satisfies U(f + g, P) = U(f, P) + U(g, P) for all partitions P

Answer 111

False on many levels, first of all g is not bounded and thus it can go to infinity, but additionally the supremums across the sub intervals may be in different places for both f and g, thus U(f+g,P) <= U(f,P) + U(g,P)

Question 112

Suppose g : [a, b] ! R is differentiable, g(a) > 0 and g(y) > g(x) for all x, y ∈ [a, b] with y > x. Then there is a c ∈ (a, b) with (inverse derivitive = inverse average derivative)

Answer 112

True, g(y) > g(x) just gaurentees that g'(x) > 0, thus the inverse cannot be undefined, and the rest of this just fits the mean value theorem

Question 113

How to show that functions are differentiable on a range?

Answer 113

If it is piecewise and contains polynomials, you only need to check that the derivatives from both sides are equal using the definition of a derivative

Question 114

How to show that sum functions are differentiable and continuous

Answer 114

Use comparison test to other functions to show that the function must converge, thus it must converge uniformly Let fn be differentiable functions defined on an interval A, and assume ∞ n=1 fn(x) converges uniformly to a limit g(x) on A. If there exists a point x0 ∈ [a, b] where ∞ n=1 fn(x0) converges, then the series ∞ n=1 fn(x) converges uniformly to a differentiable function f(x) satisfying f (x) = g(x) on A

Question 115

Cauchy Criterion for Uniform Convergence of Series

Answer 115

A series Σfn converges uniformly on A ⊆ R if and only if for every ϵ > 0 there exists an N ∈ N such that

Question 116

Weierstrass M-Test

Answer 116

Basically term by term |fn(x)|<= M^n and ΣM^n converging means that the Σfn converges uniformly

Question 117

Generalized Mean Value Theorem

Answer 117

If f and g are continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the open interval (a, b), then there exists a point c ∈ (a, b) where [f(b) − f(a)]g'(c) = [g(b) − g(a)]f'(c) Thus if g'(c) =/= 0 f'(c)/g'(c) = f(b) − f(a) / g(b) − g(a)

Question 118

Lagrange’s Remainder Theorem

Answer 118

Basically, if f^(N+1)(c)/(N + 1)! * x^N+1 converges to zero, then the Taylor series converges across the range This is used to prove that Taylor series converges uniformly across a range by showing that En (the function above) never gets out of control

Question 119

Darboux’s Theorem

Answer 119

Basically intermediate value theorem but for differentiability If f is differentiable on an interval [a, b], and if α satisfies f'(a) < α α > f'(b)), then there exists a point c ∈ (a, b) where f'(c) = α

Question 120

Term-by-term Continuity Theorem

Answer 120

Continuous Limit Theorem but for series Let fn be continuous functions defined on a set A ⊆ R, and assume Σfn converges uniformly on A to a function f. Then, f is continuous on A.
