Homework
In case you miss a homework assignment in class, you can find it below.
Unless otherwise specified,
all problems
are from the 2nd Edition
of University Calculus: Early Transcendentals
published by Addison Wesley (Pearson).
When I return graded homework, I may post some solutions here too;
see the downloading help
if you have trouble reading them.
(See the grading policies
for general instructions on doing homework and how it will be graded.)
- Introduction and review:
- Date assigned: October 6 Monday.
- Date due: October 7 Tuesday.
- Problems from Section 1.1 (pages 11–13):
- No additional work needed: 7, 8;
- Show at least one intermediate step: 13;
- No additional work needed: 23, 25, 26;
- Show a formula for x as a function of h
as an intermediate step:
71.

- Show at least one intermediate step: 5;
- No additional work needed: 23, 24.
- Extra credit (essay):
Explain your background in mathematics
and what you are going to use this course for.
- Continuity:
- Date assigned: October 7 Tuesday.
- Date due: October 9 Thursday.
- Advice:
Refer to the lecture notes on continuity
for definitions and basic principles,
but also look at the examples in the textbook.
- Problems from Section 2.5 (pages 95–97):
- Note:
Since we define continuity before limits,
do not use limits in any of your answers.
You only need to know how to recognize continuity
from an unbroken graph or from an analytic formula.
- No additional work needed: 1–4, 5.d, 6.d, 7.b, 8, 9, 10;
- Show what equations or inequalities you solve
(unless the function is continuous everywhere and there is nothing to solve):
13, 15, 19, 21, 25, 27;
- Show the simplified form of g: 29, 39;
- Show what equation you solve for a: 43.
- Some answers:
DjVu format,
PDF format.
- Epsilontics:
- Date assigned: October 8 Wednesday.
- Date due: October 13 Monday.
- Advice:
Refer to the lecture notes on continuity
for definitions and basic principles,
but also look at the examples in the textbook.
- Problem from Section 2.5 (pages 95–97):
Show why the Intermediate Value Theorem applies,
but skip the part that requires a graphing calculator:
77.
- Problems from Section 2.3 (pages 76–79):
- Note:
In all of these problems, we always have L = f(c).
So although the book intends these problems to be about limits,
they are all really about continuity,
specifically that f is continuous at c.
- No additional work needed: 7–14;
- Show what equation or inequality you solve
to find the interval or to find δ,
or show a graph similar to the book's graphs for the previous problems:
15, 17, 23, 27;
- Show what equation or inequality you solve to find δ:
37, 39, 41, 49.
- Extra credit:
Use the epsilontic definition
to show why
| { |
| x sin (1/x) |
for x ≠ 0 |
| 0 |
for x = 0 |
|
is continuous in x at x = 0.
(Hint:
For every real number t,
−1 ≤ sin t ≤ 1.)
