Semester II, 2021 - 2022


Tutorial 9

1. (a) Show that the cubic x3 − 6x + 3 has exactly three real roots.
(b) Let f : [a, b] → R be continuous. Show that for any c1 , . . . , cn ∈ [a, b], there is c ∈ [a, b] such that

f (c1 ) + · · · + f (cn )
f (c) = .
n

2. Suppose that a function f is continuous on the closed interval [0, 1] and that 0 ≤ f (x) ≤ 1 for every x
in [0, 1]. Show that there must exist a number c in [0, 1] such that f (c) = c (c is called a fixed point of
f ).

3. The graphs in Figure show the position s, the velocity v = ds/dt, and the acceleration a = ddt2s of a
body moving along the coordinate line as functions of time t. Which graph is which? Give reasons for
your answers.

4. The volume V = 43 πr3 of a spherical balloon changes with the radius.


(a) At what rate (ft3 /ft) does the volume change with respect to the radius when r = 2 ft?
(b) By approximately how much does the volume increase when the radius changes from 2 to 2.2 ft?
5. Find dy/dx in the following cases:

(a). y 2 cos = 2x + 3y (b). x + tan xy = 0
y

6. (a) The line that is normal to the curve x2 + 2xy − 3y 2 = 0 at (1, 1) intersects the curve at what
other point?
(b) Find the slope of the curve x3 y 3 + y 2 = x + y at the points (1, 1) and (1, −1).
7. If two resistors of R1 and R2 ohms are connected in parallel in an electric circuit to make an R-ohm
resistor, the value of R can be found from the equation
1 1 1
= + .
R R1 R2

If R1 is decreasing at the rate of 1 ohm/sec and R2 is increasing at the rate of 0.5 ohm/sec, at what
rate is R changing when R1 = 75 ohms and R2 = 50 ohms?
8. Find the following limits:
√
sin(1 − cos x) sin(1 − x)
(a). lim (b). lim
x→0 x x→1 x−1

9. (a) Give an example of a function f (x) that is continuous for all values of x except x = 2, where it
has a removable discontinuity. Explain how you know that f is discontinuous at x = 2, and how
you know the discontinuity is removable.
(b) Give an example of a function g(x) that is continuous for all values of x except x = −1, where it
has a non-removable discontinuity. Explain how you know that g is discontinuous there and why
the discontinuity is not removable.
10. (a) If functions f (x) and g(x) are continuous for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, could f (x)/g(x) possibly be discontinuous
at a point of [0, 1]? Give reasons for your answer.
(b) If the product function h(x) = f (x)g(x) is continuous at x = 0, must f (x) and g(x) be continuous
at x = 0? Give reasons for your answer.
11. (a) Let f (x) be a function satisfying |f (x)| ≤ x2 for −1 ≤ x ≤ 1. Show that f is differentiable at
