## Solution to Understanding Analysis Exercise 4.4

Exercise 4.4.1 See Understanding Analysis Instructors’ Solution Manual Exercise 4.4.1. Exercise 4.4.2 (a) No, let $x_n=\dfrac{1}{n}$ and $y_n=\dfrac{1}{2n}$, then$|x_n-y_n|=\frac{1}{2n}\to 0,\quad |f(x_n)-f(y_n)|=n\geqslant 1.$Hence by Theorem 4.4.5, $f(x)$ is not uniformly continuous…

## Solution to Understanding Analysis Exercise 4.3

Exercise 4.3.1 See Understanding Analysis Instructors’ Solution Manual Exercise 4.3.1. Exercise 4.3.2 Solution: (a) Let $f(x)\equiv 0$ (constant function). (b) Let $f(x)=x$. Please check that this function is not onetinuous.…

## Solution to Understanding Analysis Exercise 4.2

Exercise 4.2.1 See Understanding Analysis Instructors’ Solution Manual Exercise 4.2.5 Exercise 4.2.2 (a) We would like $|(5x-6)-9|<1$, that is $|5(x-3)|<1$. Hence we need$|x-3|<\frac{1}{5}.$Therefore, the largest possible $\delta$ is $\dfrac{1}{5}$. (b)…

Exercise 2.8.1 See Understanding Analysis Instructors’ Solution Manual Exercise 2.8.1 Exercise 2.8.2 See Understanding Analysis Instructors’ Solution Manual Exercise 2.8.2 Exercise 2.8.3 See Understanding Analysis Instructors’ Solution Manual Exercise 2.8.3…

## Solution to Understanding Analysis Exercise 2.7

Exercise 2.7.1 See Understanding Analysis Instructors’ Solution Manual Exercise 2.7.1 Exercise 2.7.2 (a) Converges. Since $\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty \dfrac{1}{2^n}$ converges, see Example 2.7.5 (Geometric Series), and $\dfrac{1}{2^n+n}\leqslant \dfrac{1}{2^n}$, by Theorem 2.7.4 (Comparison…

## Solution to Understanding Analysis Exercise 2.6

Exercise 2.6.1 Let $\varepsilon > 0$ be arbitrary. Since $(x_n)$ converges to $x$, there exits $N\in\mathbf N$ such that $$\label{eq2.6.1.1}|x_n-x|<\frac{\varepsilon}{2}$$ for all $n\geqslant N$. Whenever $n,m\geqslant N$, we have\begin{align*}|x_n-x_m|\leqslant &~|x_n-x|+|x-x_m|\\…

## Solution to Understanding Analysis Exercise 2.5

Exercise 2.5.1 (a) Impossible by Theorem 2.5.5. (b) Consider the sequence given by$a_n=\frac{1+(-1)^n+\frac{1}{n}}{2}.$Then we have$a_{2n}=1+\frac{1}{4n},~a_{2n-1}=\frac{1}{2(2n-1)}.$It is clear that $(a_{2n})$ converges to $1$ and $(a_{2n-1})$ converges to $0$. Moreover, it is…

## Solution to Understanding Analysis Exercise 2.4

Exercise 2.4.1 (a) We show by induction that $(x_n)$ is decreasing by proving $x_n > x_{n+1}$. Note that $x_1=3$ and $x_2=\dfrac{1}{4-3}=1$. Hence $x_1>x_2$. Suppose now that$3=x_1> x_2>\cdots >x_n> x_{n+1},$we show…

## Solution to Understanding Analysis Exercise 2.3

Exercise 2.3.1 (a) Let $\varepsilon > 0$ be arbitrary. Since $(x_n)\to 0$, there exists $N\in\mathbf N$ such that for all $n>N$ we have $$x_n=|x_n|<\varepsilon^2.$$Hence $\sqrt{x_n}<\varepsilon$. Therefore, for all $n>N$, we…

## Solution to Understanding Analysis Exercise 2.2

Exercise 2.2.1 Example: Take the sequence (1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,…….). To check this sequence verconges $0$, take e.g. $\varepsilon=2$. The example defines a divergent sequence. It is not hard to see the sequence…
