3. (a) Find the Maclaurin series for cos x and prove that it represents cos x for all x.

4 marks view

We need to find derivatives of f(x) = cos x, so

Therefore, Maclaurin series for cos x  is

Since the cosine function and all the derivatives of cosine function have absolute value less than or equal to 1. So, by Taylor’s inequality

Now,

i.e.

 for all values of x.

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

    (b) Define initial value problem. Solve that initial value problem of y' + 2y = 3, y(0) = 1.

6. Define continuity on an interval. Show that the function  is continuous on the interval [ -1,1] . 

5 marks view

A function f is continuous from the right at a number a if  and f is continuous from the left at a if  .

A function f is continuous on an interval if it is continuous at every number in the interval. If f is defined only one side of an end point of the interval, we understand continuous at the end point to mean continuous from the right or continuous from the left.


Given,


Let  then

Which shows that f(x) is continuous at .

For the end points i.e. x=-1

Which shows that f(x) is continuous at the left end point x = -1

Similarly for the end point x=1

Which shows that f(x) is continuous at the right end point x = 1.

Hence f(x) is continuous at [-1,1]

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

5 marks view

Given,

f(x) = x3-3x+2 

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

Thus f(x) = x3-3x+2 satisfy the both conditions for mean value theorem. So, there exist  such that


Clearly, 

Hence, mean value theorem satisfied.

5 marks view

Given,

And, let

By method of Lagrange’s multiplier, for some scalar 

This implies,

This gives

From (ii) we have x = 0 or λ = 1. If x = 0, then (i) gives y = ±1. If λ = 1, then y = 0 from (iii), so then (i) gives x = ±1. Therefore, f has possible extreme values at the points (0, 1), (0, −1) (1, 0), and (−1, 0). Evaluating f at these four points, we find that

f(0, 1) = 2

f(0, −1) = 2

f(1, 0) = 1

f(−1, 0) = 1

Therefore, the maximum value of f on the circle x 2 + y 2 = 1 is f(0, ±1) = 2 and the minimum value is f(±1, 0) = 1.
