Important instructions
(1) In each of the following cases state whether the given statement is TRUE or FALSE.
No need to justify your answer. (Each question is worth one mark)
(2) (a) Suppose f : R → R is such that f (x) > 0 for all x ∈ R and f 2 is differentiable.
Prove using the definition of the derivative (so your proof should use a limit)
that f is differentiable. [4 marks]
(b) Give an example of a continuous function f : R → R so that f 2 is differentiable
but f is not. [4 marks]
(3) For each of the following functions, find the critical points and classify them as local
maxima or minima, justifying your answer. (5 points each)
1−x
(a) f : (−∞, 1) → R defined by f (x) = ln(1−x)
. [5 marks]
(b) g : (0, ∞) → R defined by g(x) = x−2/3 (x + 1). [5 marks]

(e) An invertible linear transformation T : R3 → R3 such that

(7) Decide whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer.
(a) Let A be a 2×2 matrix such that A2021 = I2 , where I2 is the 2×2 identity matrix.
Then A = I2 . [4 marks]
(b) Let A be a 2 × 2 matrix such that A2 = 2A. Then A is diagonalizable.
