2. Denote by -P the set of all negative integers, i.e., the set to which the number m belongs only in case there is a member n of P such that m = -n. If the number m is in -P and Z is a number such that m ...continues

Stone-Weierstrass Approximation Theorem

Show that there is a countable set F of functions of form x--->a_0 + a_1cosx + a_2cos(2x) + ... +a_ncos(nx) such that every continuous real-valued function on [0,pi] is the uniform limit of a sequence of functions (f_n) in F.

Applications of Mean Value Theorem : Real and Simple Roots of Polynomials

Show that if the roots of the polynomial p are all real, then the roots of p' are all real. If, in addition, the roots of p are all simple, then the roots of p' are all simple.

Differentiability

Discuss the differentiability of each of the following functions at all real numbers and find its derivative at those real numbers at which it is differentiable. See attached file for full problem description.

Convergence or Divergence of Integrals

The problems in the file submitted are from an undergraduate course in real Analysis. If you are able to work the problems, please detail any theorems or lemmas used in your solutions. The book we are using is titled "The Elements of Real Analysis" by Robert G. Bartle. We are working on derivatives and integrals, but have not ...continues
