ns. Multiple-choice questions may continue on the next column or page nd all choices before answering. Each question receives a score between +10 and -10 depending on how many tries you need. The scores are arranged so that a random guesser will on average score zero. Your score for the whole assignment will never be negative, and you get bonus participation credit for attempting all questions. This scoring system is designed so that students grades dont get too bunched up (its very hard to assign As, Bs etc. fairly at the end of the semester if everyone has almost the same score). 001 10.0 points Since

Explanation: The integral is improper because of the innite interval of integration. To overcome this we set t 7 I = lim dx t 3 (x + 6)2 whenever the limit on the right hand side exists. Now t t 7 7 dx = 2 x+6 3 3 (x + 6) = 7 7 + . t+6 9

g ( x) = x3 1 .
Explanation: The notion of limit at innity tells us that if f ( x) lim = , x g ( x) then f ( x) > 1 g ( x)
lim f (x) = 0,
x1
lim g (x) = 0 ,
so LHospitals rule applies. Thus f ( x) f ( x) lim = lim . x 1 g ( x) x 1 g ( x) But f ( x) = 4 x3 , Consequently, 4 limit = . 3 009 10.0 points g ( x) = 3 x2 .
for all large x. But then f ( x) > g ( x) holds for all large x so long as g (x) > 0 for large x, allowing us to multiply through the inequality by g (x). Similarly, if
x
lim
f ( x) = 0, g ( x)
then
f ( x) < 1 g ( x)
for all large x, so if g (x) > 0 for all large x, then f ( x) < g ( x) for all large x. On the other hand, if

holds for all large x. 1. none of them 2. B and C only 3. C only correct 4. all of them 5. A and C only 6. A and B only 7. B only 8. A only
then we can use LHospitals Rule to determine f ( x) lim . x g ( x) In this way, we can use LHospitals Rule to compare the rates of growth or decay of f (x) and g (x) when x . For the three given inequalities, therefore, we have to choose appropriatef and g and make sure that g (x) > 0 for all large x.
lui (el22284) Quest HW1 perutz (56210) A. FALSE: set f (x) = ex , Then

g ( x) =

and by applying LHospitals Rule twice we see that f ( x) lim = . x g ( x) Thus the inequality e2x > xex + 100 holds for all large x. keywords: 010 10.0 points

f ( x) = 0. g ( x)
Thus the inequality 100 > ex , x not 100 < ex , x holds for all large x. B. FALSE: set f (x) = ex , Then

g (x) = x2 + 100 .
and by applying LHospitals Rule twice we see that f ( x) = . lim x g ( x) Thus the inequality e not ex < x2 + 100 , holds for all large x. C. TRUE: set f (x) = e2x , Then
x x 2
3 8 Explanation: Set f (x) = 1 cos(3x), g (x) = 4 sin2 (2x) . Then f, g are dierentiable functions such that lim f (x) = lim g (x) = 0 . 5. limit =
