Study Notes

Limits

The limit of (x - |x|)/x as x approaches 0 does not exist because the limit from the right is 0 and the limit from the left is 2.
The limit of x(1 + sin(x)) as x approaches infinity does not exist because for the sequence xn = 2nπ + 3π/2, the limit of f(xn) is 1, but for the sequence yn = nπ, the limit of f(yn) is infinity.

Continuity

The function f(x) defined as x for rational x and 1 - x for irrational x is continuous at x = 1/2.
The same function, f(x), is not differentiable at x = 0 because the limit of (f(x) - f(0))/x as x approaches 0 from the left does not exist.

Differentiability

The function f(x) defined as x cos(x) for x ≠ 0 and 0 for x = 0 is not differentiable at x = 0. This is because the limit of (f(x) - f(0))/x as x approaches 0 does not exist, as demonstrated by the sequence xn = 1/nπ.

Taylor Series

The Taylor series of f(x) = x³sin(x) around 0 is ∑(n=0 to ∞) x^(2n+1)/(n!)(2n+1)!.
The Taylor series of f(x) = e^x sinh(x) around 0 is ∑(n=1 to ∞) 2^(n-1) x^n / (n!)².
The Taylor series of f(x) = x sin(x) around 0 is ∑(n=0 to ∞) (-1)^n x^(2n+1) / (2n+1)!.

Convergence of Series

The Taylor series of f(x) = x³sin(x) around 0 converges for all x ∈ R.
The Taylor series of f(x) = e^x sinh(x) around 0 converges for all x ∈ R, as demonstrated by the ratio test.
The maximum interval of convergence for the Taylor series of f(x) = x sin(x) around 0 is [-1, 1], as demonstrated by the ratio test and convergence at x = ±1.

Taylor Series of Inverse Functions

The Taylor series of f(x) = sinh⁻¹(x) around 0 is ∑(n=0 to ∞) (-1)^n (2n)! x^(2n+1) / (2^(2n)(n!)²(2n+1)).
The radius of convergence for the Taylor series of sinh⁻¹(x) is 1.
The maximum interval of convergence for the Taylor series of sinh⁻¹(x) is (-1, 1).
