 ** Answer **: True.\\
+. If $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is continuous on $[a, b]$, there is a sequence of polynomials whose uniform limit on $[a, b]$ is $f .$ \\
+** Answer **: True.\\
+. Let $f$ and $g$ be continuous functions on $[a, b]$ such that $\int_{a}^{b} f=\int_{a}^{b} g$. Show that there is an $x \in[a, b]$ such that $f(x)=g(x)$. \\
+. Let $\left\{f_{n}\right\}$ be a sequence of continuous functions on $[a, b]$ that converges uniformly to $f$ on $[a, b] .$ Show that if $\left\{x_{n}\right\}$ is a sequence in $[a, b]$ and if $x_{n} \rightarrow x$, then $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} f_{n}\left(x_{n}\right)=f(x)$. \\
+. Find an example or prove that the following does not exist: a monotone sequence
+that has no limit in $\mathbb{R}$ but has a subsequence converging to a real number. \\
+. Consider a continuous function $f$ on $(0, \infty)$, and suppose that $f$ is a uniformly continuous on $(0, a)$ for all $a>0$. Then $f$ must be a uniformly continuous function on $(0, \infty)$. \\
+. Consider a sequence $\left(f_{n}\right)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of continuous functions on $[0,1]$. Suppose that $\left(f_{n}\right)$ converges pointwise to a function $f$ on $[0,1]$, and that
+$$
+\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \int_{0}^{1} f_{n}(x) d x=\int_{0}^{1} f(x) d x
+$$

+$$
+\lim _{b \rightarrow \infty} \int_{0}^{b} f<\infty
+$$
+the series $\sum_{m=1}^{\infty} f(m)$ converges (absolutely).\\
+. If $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are uniformly continuous on $\mathbb{R}$, then $f \cdot g$ is uniformly continuous on $\mathbb{R}$. \\
+** Answer **: False.\\
+. $(10$ points) A function $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is called periodic if there exists a $T>0$ such that $f(x)=f(x+T)$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R} .$ Suppose that $f$ is a periodic function that is differentiable on $\mathbb{R}$. Show that there exists $x \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $f^{\prime}(x)=0$. \\
+. Let $[a, b]$ be an interval and $c \in(a, b)$. Define a function $f$ on $[a, b]$ as follows: \\
+$$ f(x)=\begin{cases} 0 & x \neq c \\ 1 & x=c \end{cases}.$$
+Show that $f$ is integrable on $[a, b]$, and find $\int_{a}^{b} f$. \\

+. Consider $f:[a, b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. Suppose that $f^{\prime}$ is bounded where it exists (do not assume it exists everywhere). Then, $f$ is bounded.\\
+. 7. Let $f$ be an infinitely differentiable function on $\mathbb{R}$. Then the Taylor series of $f$ at any point $a \in \mathbb{R}$ converges to $f$ in some neighborhood of $a$. \\
+. Define
+$$
+f_{n}(x)=\sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{k^{2} x^{2}}
+$$
+defined on $(0, \infty)$. The $f_{n}$ converge uniformly.\\
+. Suppose $a_{n}>0$ and $\sum a_{n}$ converges. Then $\sum \frac{a_{n}+a_{n+1}}{2}$ converges.\\
+. A function $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is said to satisfy the Lipshitz condition of order $\alpha$ at $a \in \mathbb{R}$ if there is a constant $M$ and a neighborhood of $a$ such that
+$$
+\left|f(x)-f(a)\right|<M|x-a|^{\alpha}
+$$
+Show that if $f$ has the Lipschitz condition of order $\alpha$ for $\alpha>0$, then $f$ is continuous. Give an example of a function $f$ which has Lipschitz condition of order 0 which is not continuous at $c$. \\
+. Show that the function $f(x)=x^{a}$ is uniformly continuous for $a>1$.\\
+. If $f: X \rightarrow Y$ is continuous and is not a constant function (i.e. $f(X)$ has more than one point), and $y \in Y$ is an isolated point, then $f^{-1}(\{y\})$ consists only of isolated points. \\
+. Let $E \subset \mathbb{R}$ be a closed subset. There is some $F \subset \mathbb{R}$ whose set of limit points is exactly $E$. (Note that isolated points of $E$ are not limit points of $E$.) \\
+. Let $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be continuous. If a sequence $p_{n}$ in $\mathbb{R}$ diverges, then $f\left(p_{n}\right)$ also diverges. \\
+. Let $f$ be a function defined on $(0,1]$, and suppose $f$ is integrable on every interval $[c, 1]$ for $c \in(0,1)$. Define:
+$$
+\int_{0}^{1} f d x=\lim _{c \rightarrow 0} \int_{c}^{1} f d x
+$$
+Show that if $f$ is defined on $[0,1]$ and is integrable, then this definition agrees with the usual one. Find an example of a function $f:(0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that the above integral exists for $f$ but not for $|f|$. \\
+. Suppose $f$ is bounded and real, and suppose $f^{2}$ is Riemann integrable (with respect to $\left.\alpha(x)=x\right)$. Does it follow that $f$ is Riemann-integrable? \\
+. Suppose $f$ is bounded and real, and suppose $f^{3}$ is Riemann integrable (with respect to $\left.\alpha(x)=x\right)$. Does it follow that $f$ is Riemann-integrable? \\
+.Suppose that $f$ is infinitely differentiable everywhere. Suppose that there is some $L>0$ such that $\left|f^{(n)}(x)\right|<L$ for all $n$ and $x \in \mathbb{R}.$ Further suppose that $f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)=0$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N} .$ Show that $f(x)=0$ everywhere. \\
+. Define the integral:
+$$
+\int_{a}^{\infty} f d x:=\lim _{b \rightarrow \infty} \int_{a}^{b} f d x
+$$
+If it exists, we say it converges. Suppose that $f(x) \geqslant 0$ and $f$ decreases monotonically on $[1, \infty)$. Show that
+$$
+\int_{1}^{\infty} f d x
+$$
+converges if and only if
+$$
+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} f(n)
+$$
+converges.\\
+. Suppose $\alpha$ is monotonically increasing and continuous on $[a, b]$ and $p \in[a, b] .$ Define $f$ by $f(p)=1$ and $f(x)=0$ for $x \neq p$. Show directly (do not cite a theorem other than the basic "Cauchy criterion" for integrability) that $f$ is Riemann integrable with respect to $\alpha$ and that $\int_{a}^{b} f d \alpha=0$. \\
+. Prove that
+$$
+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n(\log (n))^{p}}
+$$
+converges for $p>1$ and diverges for $p \leqslant 1$.\\
+. Prove that if $a_{n}$ is a decreasing sequence of real numbers and if $\sum a_{n}$ converges, then $\lim n a_{n}=0$. \\
+. Let $f$ and $g$ be continuous functions on $[a, b]$ that are differentiable on $(a, b)$. Suppose that $f(a)=f(b)=0 .$ Prove that there exists $x \in(a, b)$ such that
+$g^{\prime}(x) f(x)+f^{\prime}(x)=0$.
