Let $f(x) = \frac{1}{x}$. Find the limit of $f(x)$ as $x$ approaches 0.
-
0
-
1
-
Does not exist
-
Infinity
The limit of $f(x)$ as $x$ approaches 0 does not exist because the function approaches both positive and negative infinity as $x$ approaches 0 from the positive and negative sides, respectively.
Which of the following statements is true about the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality?

-
It is an inequality that holds only for orthogonal vectors in an inner product space.
The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality states that for any two vectors $\mathbf{u}$ and $\mathbf{v}$ in an inner product space, the following inequality holds: $\langle \mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v} \rangle^2 \leq \langle \mathbf{u}, \mathbf{u} \rangle \langle \mathbf{v}, \mathbf{v} \rangle$.
What is the definition of a continuous function?
-
A function is continuous at a point if its limit at that point is equal to the value of the function at that point.
-
A function is continuous at a point if its derivative at that point exists.
-
A function is continuous at a point if its graph has no breaks or jumps at that point.
-
A function is continuous at a point if it is differentiable at that point.
A function $f(x)$ is continuous at a point $c$ if the following limit exists and is equal to $f(c)$: $\lim_{x \to c} f(x) = f(c)$.
Which of the following functions is not continuous at $x = 0$?

-
$f(x) = \sin(x)$

$f(x) = \cos(x)$
The function $f(x) = \frac{1}{x}$ is not continuous at $x = 0$ because the limit of the function as $x$ approaches 0 does not exist.
What is the Intermediate Value Theorem?
-
If a function is continuous on a closed interval, then it takes on every value between its minimum and maximum values on that interval.
-
If a function is differentiable on a closed interval, then it takes on every value between its minimum and maximum values on that interval.
-
If a function is continuous on an open interval, then it takes on every value between its minimum and maximum values on that interval.
-
If a function is differentiable on an open interval, then it takes on every value between its minimum and maximum values on that interval.
The Intermediate Value Theorem states that if a function $f(x)$ is continuous on a closed interval $[a, b]$, then for any value $y$ between $f(a)$ and $f(b)$, there exists a number $c$ in $[a, b]$ such that $f(c) = y$.
What is the Mean Value Theorem?
-
If a function is continuous on a closed interval and differentiable on an open interval containing that closed interval, then there exists a number $c$ in the open interval such that $f'(c) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$.
-
If a function is continuous on a closed interval and differentiable on an open interval containing that closed interval, then there exists a number $c$ in the open interval such that $f'(c) = \frac{f(b) + f(a)}{b + a}$.

-
If a function is continuous on a closed interval and differentiable on an open interval containing that closed interval, then there exists a number $c$ in the open interval such that $f'(c) = \frac{f(b) + f(a)}{2(b + a)}$.
The Mean Value Theorem states that if a function $f(x)$ is continuous on a closed interval $[a, b]$ and differentiable on an open interval $(a, b)$, then there exists a number $c$ in $(a, b)$ such that $f'(c) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$.
What is the definition of a convergent sequence?
-
A sequence is convergent if its limit exists.
-
A sequence is convergent if it is bounded.
-
A sequence is convergent if it is monotonic.
-
A sequence is convergent if it is Cauchy.
A sequence ${a_n}$ is convergent if there exists a real number $L$ such that for any $\varepsilon > 0$, there exists a natural number $N$ such that $|a_n - L| < \varepsilon$ for all $n > N$.
Which of the following sequences is convergent?
-
$a_n = \frac{n}{n+1}$
-
$a_n = \frac{(-1)^n}{n}$
-
$a_n = \sin(n)$
-
$a_n = \cos(n)$
The sequence $a_n = \frac{n}{n+1}$ is convergent because its limit is 1. The sequence $a_n = \frac{(-1)^n}{n}$ is convergent because its limit is 0. The sequences $a_n = \sin(n)$ and $a_n = \cos(n)$ are not convergent because they do not have a limit.
What is the definition of a Cauchy sequence?
-
A sequence is Cauchy if its limit exists.
-
A sequence is Cauchy if it is bounded.
-
A sequence is Cauchy if it is monotonic.
-
A sequence is Cauchy if for any $\varepsilon > 0$, there exists a natural number $N$ such that $|a_m - a_n| < \varepsilon$ for all $m, n > N$.
A sequence ${a_n}$ is Cauchy if for any $\varepsilon > 0$, there exists a natural number $N$ such that $|a_m - a_n| < \varepsilon$ for all $m, n > N$.
Which of the following sequences is Cauchy?
-
$a_n = \frac{n}{n+1}$
-
$a_n = \frac{(-1)^n}{n}$
-
$a_n = \sin(n)$
-
$a_n = \cos(n)$
The sequence $a_n = \frac{n}{n+1}$ is Cauchy because for any $\varepsilon > 0$, we can choose $N = \frac{1}{\varepsilon} + 1$. Then, for all $m, n > N$, we have $|a_m - a_n| = |\frac{m}{m+1} - \frac{n}{n+1}| = \frac{|m(n+1) - n(m+1)|}{(m+1)(n+1)} = \frac{|m-n|}{(m+1)(n+1)} < \frac{1}{N(N+1)} < \varepsilon$.
