Real Analysis : Bounded Continuity / Differentiability

Problem: Let f: [0, ∞) → R be a bounded function. For all X greater than or equal to 0, let G(x)=sup{f(t): 0 is less than or equal to t is less than or equal to x} a) Show that if f is continuous, g is also continuous. Is the converse also true? Justify. b) If f is differentiable and continuous, is g also d ...continues

Real Single-Variable Analysis Problem

Let x be an irrational number. Prove that there exist infinitely many fractions (p/q) with p and q as integers such that: abs(x-[p/q]) < 1/(q^2)

Real Analysis : Using a Summation Series to Estimate an Integral

Say the only tool you have available to you is a pocket calculator which performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, accurate to 15 decimal places. Explain a practical way to compute: Integral from 0 to 1 of e^[-(x^2)] to within an error less than 10^-8. Prove that the method works.

Real Analysis : Subintervals
