1. Without using L’Hôpital’s rule or Taylor series, calculate the following three limits:
√
1−x cos(πx/2) cos(πx/2)( x + 15 − 4)
lim √ , lim , lim .
x→1 x + 15 − 4 x→1 1−x x→1 (1 − x)2
2. (i) Calculate the second order Taylor polynomial about x = 0 for the function
2
f (x) = ex+x
and use your result to calculate the limit
2
ex+x − cos x − sin x
lim
x→0 x2
using Taylor series.
(ii) Solve the initial value problem
y 2
y0 + = ex , y(1) = 0.

3. Solve the initial value problem
y 00 − 4y 0 + 4y = 2 − 28x + 20x2 , y(0) = 0, y 0 (0) = 2.
4. The function f (x) has period 2π and is given by
(
0 if − π < x < 0
f (x) =
1 if 0 ≤ x < π.
Calculate the Fourier series of f (x).
By evaluating the Fourier series at x = π/2, determine the value of

5. (a) Derive the Jacobian for the change of variables from Cartesian coordinates x, y
to polar coordinates r, θ, where
x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ.
(b) Let D be the region of the (x, y)-plane given by x2 + y 2 ≤ 1.
Use the change of variables given in part (a) to calculate the double integral
