Explain why or why not Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. The linear approximation to \(f(x)=x^{2}\) at \(x=0\) is \(L(x)=0\) b. Linear approximation at \(x=0\) provides a good approximation to \(f(x)=|x|\) c. If \(f(x)=m x+b,\) then the linear approximation to \(f\) at any point is \(L(x)=f(x)\)
Sketch the graph of a function that is continuous on \((-\infty, \infty)\) and satisfies the following sets of conditions. $$f(x)>f^{\prime}(x)>0 \text { for all } x ; f^{\prime \prime}(1)=0$$
Differentials Consider the following functions and express the relationship between a small change in \(x\) and the corresponding change in \(y\) in the form \(d y=f^{\prime}(x) d x\) $$f(x)=1 / x^{3}$$
Evaluate one of the limits l'Hôpital used in his own textbook in about 1700: \(\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\sqrt{2 a^{3} x-x^{4}}-a \sqrt[3]{a^{2} x}}{a-\sqrt[4]{a x^{3}}},\) where \(a\) is a real number.
Suppose you make a deposit of \(\$ P\) into a savings account that earns interest at a rate of \(100 \mathrm{r} \%\) per year. a. Show that if interest is compounded once per year, then the balance after \(t\) years is \(B(t)=P(1+r)^{t}\). b. If interest is compounded \(m\) times per year, then the balance after \(t\) years is \(B(t)=P(1+r / m)^{m t} .\) For example, \(m=12\) corresponds to monthly compounding, and the interest rate for each month is \(r / 12 .\) In the limit \(m \rightarrow \infty,\) the compounding is said to be continuous. Show that with continuous compounding, the balance after \(t\) years is \(B(t)=\overline{P e^{r t}}\).
