All questions may be attempted but only marks obtained on the best five solutions will
count. The use of an electronic calculator is not permitted during this ezamination.

1. Let f be a real-valued function defined on some open interval (a,b). If c € (a,b),


explain what is meant by the statement “f is differentiable at ¢”.

By using this definition show that, if f (z) = z™, n a non-negative integer, then f is
differentiable at ¢ with derivative nc*.

Let g(z) = 5 anz" have radius of convergence R.
n=0

Show that, for |z| < R, g is continuous at z.

2. State and prove each of Rolle’s Theorem, the Cauchy Mean Value Theorem and
L'Hépital’s Rule.

3. (i) Without using any general results, show that, ifa, = {1+ 3 4+t %) —logn,
the sequence {a,}22, is decreasing and bounded below.
Hence show that a, — a as n — oo, where 0 < e < 1.

convergence, show that
