Description
Exercise 4.1 [Ste10, p. 385]
- (1pt) If f is continuous on [a,b], use −|f(x)| ≤ f(x) ≤ |f(x)| to show that
- (1pt) Use the result of prevous part to show that
- Exercise 4.2 [Ste10, p. 395] The error function
is used in probability, statistics, and engineering. (a) (1pt) Show that
x2erf(x) satisfies the differential equation y′ = 2xy + 2/√π. (b) (1pt) Show that the function y = e
Exercise 4.3 [Ste10, p. 396] The sine integral function
is important in electrical engineering. [The integrand f(t) = (sint)/t is not defined when t = 0, but we know that its limit is 1 when t → 0. So we define f(0) = 1 and this makes f a continuous function everywhere.] (a) (1pt) Sketch the graph of Si.
- (1pt) At what values of x does this function have local maximum values?
- (1pt) Find the coordinates of the first inflection point to the right of the origin.
- (1pt) Does this function have horizontal asymptotes?
- (1pt) Solve the following equation (for x) correct to one decimal place:
Exercise 4.4 [Ste10, p. 396] Evaluate the limit by first recognizing the sum as a Riemann sum for a function defined on [0,1].
