Tutorial Sheet5

The document is a tutorial sheet for Math101 focusing on sequences and continuity. It includes problems on convergence of sequences, proving limits, and determining properties of subsequences, as well as questions on the continuity of functions. The document provides specific sequences and functions for analysis and requires the application of theorems discussed in lectures.

Math101 Tutorial sheet 5

Sequences
1. Is the sequence with the following terms convergent? You can use theorems from the lectures,
and you don’t need to go back to the  definition of convergence.
1
(a) an = 1 − 2n1/6 +7
;
2. Prove that the sequence with the following terms converges and find its limit. Hint: use a
theorem from the lectures.
 
(a) an = n21+3 sin6 (n) + n1/3
100
+1
.

3. Which of the following are true? For those that are, give a brief explanation (you can state
theories from the lectures), for those that are not, give a counter-example.

(a) Every convergent sequence has a monotonic subsequence


(b) Every convergent sequence has a convergent subsequence
(c) Every sequence has a convergent subsequence.
4. (a) What can be said about a sequence (an ) if it converges and each of its terms is an
integer.
(b) Write down some monotonic subsequences of the sequence (−1, 1, −1, 1, −1, 1, ...).
(c) Write down some convergent subsequences of the sequence (−1, 1, −1, 1, −1, 1, ...)

Continuity
5. For each sequence (an ) below and function f , decide whether the sequence (f (an )) converges
and, if it does, find the limit.
(a) an = 1/n and f (x) = x2 + 2;
(b) an = (2n + 1)π/2 and f (x) = sin x;
(c) an = (−1)n /n and f (x) = x − 1/x;
(d) an = (n + 1)/n and f (x) = 2x3 + x/ sin x.
6. In each case below, define f (1) so that the function f becomes continuous at 1.

(a) f (x) = 2x2 − 3x + 5 for x 6= 1;


(b) f (x) = (2x2 − 2)/(x − 1) for x 6= 1;

cos(πx) x < 1
(c) f (x) =
x3 − 2x x > 1;

x − 1 x ∈ Q − {1}
(d) f (x) =
0 x 6∈ Q.
