A mass oscillates up and down on the end of a spring. Find its position \(s\) relative to the equilibrium position if its acceleration is \(a(t)=\sin (\pi t),\) and its initial velocity and position are \(v(0)=3\) and \(s(0)=0,\) respectively.
Consider the functions \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2 n}+1},\) where \(n\) is a positive integer. a. Show that these functions are even. b. Show that the graphs of these functions intersect at the points \(\left(\pm 1, \frac{1}{2}\right),\) for all positive values of \(n\) c. Show that the inflection points of these functions occur at \(x=\pm \sqrt[2 n]{\frac{2 n-1}{2 n+1}},\) for all positive values of \(n\) d. Use a graphing utility to verify your conclusions. e. Describe how the inflection points and the shape of the graphs change as \(n\) increases.
Give an argument to support the claim that if a function is concave up at a point, then the tangent line at that point lies below the curve near that point.
Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. By l'Hôpital's Rule, \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{x-2}{x^{2}-1}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{1}{2 x}=\frac{1}{4}\) b. \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}(x \sin x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) g(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f^{\prime}(x) \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} g^{\prime}(x)=\) \(\left(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} 1\right)\left(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \cos x\right)=1\) c. \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} x^{1 / x}\) is an indeterminate form. d. The number 1 raised to any fixed power is 1. Therefore, because \((1+x) \rightarrow 1\) as \(x \rightarrow 0,(1+x)^{1 / x} \rightarrow 1\) as \(x \rightarrow 0\) e. The functions \(\ln x^{100}\) and \(\ln x\) have comparable growth rates as \(x \rightarrow \infty\) f. The function \(e^{x}\) grows faster than \(2^{x}\) as \(x \rightarrow \infty\).
Show that any exponential function \(b^{x},\) for \(b>1,\) grows faster than \(x^{p},\) for \(p>0\).
