Part A

(1) A =

(1 1/n, 1 + 1/n) = {1}

n=1

Bounded both above and below. Ans (c). (2) B={r Q : r2 < 2} sup B = Ans.(d) (3)Direct consequence of lemma 32.2 in text book. Ans.(c) 2, inf B = 2 hence No rational supremum or inmum.

Part B (1) xn x, xn y Let x = y Then |x y| > 0, and let |x y| = . For this integer N1 such that |x y| < /3 n > N1 (1 Mark) (1 Mark)

and integer N2 such that |x y| < /3 Let N= max{N1 , N2 }, n > N

n > N2

|xn x| < /3 and |yn y| < /3.

But |x y| |xn x| + |xn y| < 2 /3. a contradiction. Therefore x = y (2 Marks)

[1 Mark each for the correct interpretation of xn x, and xn y, and 2 Marks for the nal answer.] 1

(2) (a) f: (a,b) R is dierentiable and f (x) > 0 x1 , x2 such that a < x1 < x2 < b

(a,b). Consider

By Mean value theorem x (a,b) such that f (x2 ) f (x1 )/x2 x1 = f (x) > 0 (2 Marks) Since x2 x1 > 0, f (x2 ) f (x1 ) > 0 and f (x2 ) > f (x1 ) (1 Mark)

x1 , x2 were arbitrary and so f is strictly increasing on (a,b). (b) No, f (x) need not be positive f: (-1,1) R , f (x) = x3 (1 Mark) (1 Mark) (1 Mark)

f is strictly increasing but f (0) = 0

[(a) 2 Marks for the correct use of the mean value theorem, and 1 Mark for the correct deduction. (b) 1 Mark for replying NO, 1 Mark for the correct counterexample, 1 Mark for justifying the example.]

(3) f : R [0, ) is a decreasing function and hence Riemann integrable on any interval . (a) an = f (1) + f (2) + ... + f (n)

As f is decreasing on [n, n + 1], and so f (t) f (n + 1) f (n + 1) f 0 and so

n+1 (f (n n

Since f (i) f 0 on [i, i + 1]. Therefore an 0 (1 Mark)

(c) {an } is a decreasing sequence and is bounded below by 0. therefore an converges in R. (1 Mark).

(2 Marks)

[(a) 1 mark for correct expansion, 1 Mark for proper justication f (n + 1) f 0 and so
n+1 (f (n n

(b) 1 mark for correct expansion, 1 Mark for proper justication f (i)f 0 on [i, i + 1] and so

f )dt 0, and 1 Mark for the nal answer.

(c) 2 Marks for observing that the sequence is decreasing and bounded below, 1 Mark for concluding that it should then be convergent.]
