1. (a) A function is defined by ,  calculate f(-1),f(3), and sketch the  graph.(5)

5 marks view

Given,

Since -1<0, f(-1) = -1 + 2 = 1

Since 3>0, f(3) = 1 - 3 = -2

To draw graph, calculating the points:

For f(x) = x+2 if x<0

    f(-1) = -1+2 =1   (-1, 1)

    f(-2) = -2+2 = 0   (-2, 0)

    f(-3) = -3+2 = -1   (-3, -1) and so on.

For f(x) =1-x if x>0

    f(1) = 1-1 = 0   (1, 0)

    f(2) = 1-2 = -1   (2, -1)

    f(3)= 1-3 = -2   (3, -2) and so on.

Plotting these points of both functions we get;

Now,

Let d is any positive number with  then 

So, by Taylor’s inequality

Since  is a finite value. So


i.e.

 for all values of x.

 This implies that series converges to ex for every value of x.

    (b) Define initial value problem. Solve that initial value problem of y' + 5y = 1, y(0) = 2.

6. Use continuity to evaluate the limit , 

5 marks view

Since the function  is being a quotient of two continuous functions and   everywhere in their domain. In particular x = 4 and hence the quotient function f(x) is also continuous at x = 4.


7. Verify Mean value theorem of f(x) = x3 − 3x + 3 for [−1,2].

5 marks view

Given,

f(x) = x3-3x+3 

Since, f(x) = x3-3x+3  is continuous on [-1, 2] and f’(x) = 3x2-3 so, differentiable on (-1, 2).

Thus f(x) = x3-3x+3 satisfy the both conditions for mean value theorem. So, there exist  such that


Clearly 

Hence, mean value theorem satisfied.
