Maths - Advanced Calculus Assignment Question

1. This document provides an assignment for an Advanced Calculus course with 10 problems to solve and submit by January 3rd, 2021. Late submissions will not be accepted and academic dishonesty will be dealt with severely. 2. The assignment includes problems involving functions of one and two variables, such as determining whether a function satisfies the intermediate value property or exists based on given conditions, analyzing continuity and differentiability, applying the mean value theorem, finding limits, and Taylor series expansions. 3. Students must show work to justify their answers for problems involving limits, existence of derivatives, and evaluating derivatives at points.

with severely.

1. Let f : [a, b] → R be twice differentiable and let f (a) = f (b) = 0 and f (c) > 0, where
c ∈ (a, b). Show that there exists ξ ∈ (a, b) such that f 00 (ξ) < 0.
2. State TRUE or FALSE giving proper justification for the following statement. There
exists a continuous function f : R → R2 such that f (cos n) = (n, n1 ) for all n ∈ N.
3. Show that there does not exist a non-constant continuous function f : R2 → R such that
f (x, y) = 5 for all (x, y) ∈ R2 with x2 + y 2 < 1.
4. Let f : [0, 4] → R be a thrice differentiable function in (0, 4) such that
f (0) = −1, f (1) = 2, f (3) = −2, f (4) = 4.
Let g(x) = f (x)f 0 (x)f 00 (x) + 4. Using the mean value theorem, find the minimum number
of distinct roots of g 0 (x) = 0.
5. Find the limit (if exist)

8. Consider the following function:

6 0,
f (x, y) = 2 2

degree terms.
