Mathematical Basis Review Homework Due Friday, August 26

You are required to submit this homework if you are taking Math Basis This homework contains a selection of review problems posted earlier. The goal of this homework is to prepare you to take the Basis classes. All work should be performed individually without consultations with other students. The completed homework should be submitted to Prof. Kopelevich. Please place your work in Prof. Kopelevichs mailbox (on the 2nd oor of the Chemical Engineering Building, next to the main oce). 1. (3 points) Compute the following limits: (a)
x+

x2 1

(b) lim

x0

1 1 x sin x

sin(x 1) (c) lim . x1 x2 + 3 2 2. (3 points) Compute the following integrals: (a) x dx (x + 2)(x + 3) sin x dx cos x(1 cos x) ln x dx. x2

(b)

(c)

3. (1 point) Obtain the rst three non-zero terms of the Taylor series expansion of function f (x) = exp(3x4 ) exp(3x4 ) around point x0 = 0. 4. (1 point) Compute integral (y dx + x dy),
C

where C is the ellipse (x/a)2 + (y/b)2 = 1 and the integration is performed clockwise. 1

5. (1 point) Obtain all values of

i, i.e. all complex numbers z such that z 4 = i.

6. (1 point) Compute (1 + 2i)1/3 . 7. (4 points) Solve the following ODEs: (a) x3 y = y 2 (x 4), (b) y (x) 2y (x) + 5y(x) = x, (c) y (x) 6y (x) + 10y (x) = 0, 2 (d) y (x) + y = 6x3 x
