Description. Need to have (1 − 3 x) − (−5) < ε whenever 0 < x − 2 < δ.
(1 − 3 x) − (−5) = 6 − 3 x = 3 x − 2 < ε if x−2 < ε/3.
Thus we can use any δ < ε / 3 . Of the five choices, the largest satisfying this condition is
δ = ε/4.

44. E y′′ − y′ − 2 y = 0, y′(0) = −2, y (0) = 2 ; the characteristic equation is r 2 − r − 2 = 0 .

The solutions are r = −1, r = 2 so the general solution to the differential equation is

y = c1e − x + c2e 2 x with y′ = −c1e− x + 2c2 e2 x . Using the initial conditions we have the system:

2 = c1 + c2 and − 2 = −c1 + 2c2 ⇒ c2 = 0, c1 = 2 . The solution is f ( x) = 2e− x ⇒ f (1) = 2e −1 .

45. E The ratio test shows that the series is convergent for any value of x that makes x + 1 < 1 .
