    Closure, Convergence, Differentiability, Integrability, Sequences

    Prove or disprove the following statement. Provide detailed answer and justify all steps. 1). There is a nonempty set S in R such that closure of S is equal to R and the closure of its complement closure(R-S) also is equal to R. My thoughts on this problem: Q ( rationals) and R-Q (irrationals), but how to prove that the cl

    Sequences : Limits and Convergence

    This question is from Advanced Calculus II class, it is more like introduction to real analysis. Let f_n: R -> R be the sequence of functions given by f_n(x) = x/ ( 1 + nx^2) a). Prove that the sequence f_n converges uniformly to a function f. What is f? b). Prove that for each x in R-{0} ( all real numbers but 0 not in

    Real Analysis : Lebesgue Integral Problem

    Let f be a nonnegative measurable function. Show that (integral f = 0) implies f = 0 a.e. See attached document for notations. Please help: This problem is from Royden's Chap 4 text on Lebesgue Integral.

    Real Analysis : Lebesgue Measure

    Show that the sum and product of two simple functions are simple. Show that [Definition of simple: A real-valued function is called simple if it is measurable and assumes only a finite number of values. If is simple and ahs the values then , where .] This problem is from Royden's Real Analysis text for gradu

    Central limit theorem for a company

    Let's say you work in a company where over 2000 people are employed. Using the Central Limit Theorem, where the mean age of all employed is 37 with a standard deviation of 13; If 5 people are randomly selected, find the probability of their age being less than 22.

    40 Problems : Sequences, Series, Convergence, Divergence and Limits

    1. For each of the sequences whose nth term is given by the formula below (so of course n takes successively the positive integer values 1,2,3...), does it have a limit as n tends to infinity? In each case, briefly explain your answer including justification for the value of the limit (if it exists) a) (1/3)ⁿ b

    Average Value of Continuous Functions and Limits

    The definition of average value of a continuous function can be extended to an infinite interval by defining the average value of f on the interval [a, ∞) to be Lim as t approaches ∞ 1/(t-a)integrand from a to t f(x)dx 1. Find the average value of {see attachment} on [0, ∞). 2. Find the lim as x goes t

    Convergence or Divergence, Taylor Polynomials, Maclaurin Series and Chain Rule

    Evaluating a Limit

    Thank you in advance for your help; this one sounds like it should be simple, but I still continually get the wrong answer: "Evaluate the limit as x goes to infinity of (1+(3/x))^(4x)."

    Real Analysis : Proofs - Uniform Continuity

    S(1): Let &#949;=1, and let any &#948;>0 be given. S(2): Let n be an integer > max(1, 1/&#948;), and set x=1/n and y=1/(n+1). S(3): Both x and y belong to (0,1), and |x-y| = 1/n(n+1) < 1/n < &#948;. S(4): However, |f(x)-f(y)| = |n-(n+1)| = 1 = &#949; S(5): This contradicts the definition of uniform continuity (i.e.,

    Real Analysis : Fold Lines

    By an n-fold line subdivision of the plane P, we mean any collection of n-distinct (infinite) lines in P, together with the open regions in P that they determine. (We don't count the lines as part of the regions.) Let us say that two such regions are adjacent if their boundaries have a positive-length or infinite line segment
