STPM 2016 Mathematics (T) Term 2 Assignment

Introduction

The concept of a limit plays a central role in calculus. For example, continuity, derivative and integral require this concept. In this assignment, you are required to explore the concept of a limit.

Sample Question

Question 1

(a) Draw an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle of radius  x cm. Express the area of the triangle A_3 in term of x.

(b) Repeat 1(a) with square, regular pentagon, regular hexagon, …, regular polygon with n sides in the circle of radius x cm.

(c) Determine the value of \frac{A_n}{x^2} correct to three decimal places when n is large.

Question 2

A function  f_k  is defined by  f_k(x) =(1+kx)^{\frac{1}{x}}.

(a)(i) Tabulate the values x and f_1(x) when x equals to 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, …. Deduce value of \lim_{x\to 0} f_1(x).

(a)(ii) Tabulate the values x and  f_k(x) for k = 2, 3 and 4, when x equals to 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, ….  Deduce value of  \lim_{x\to 0}f_k(x).

(b) Show that \lim_{x\to\infty} \left(1+\frac{k}{x}\right)^x=\lim_{x\to 0}(1+kx)^\frac{1}{x}.

Question 3

A function g is defined by g(t) = \int_1^t \frac{1}{x(x+1)}dx, where t>1.

(a) Suppose t is an integer, estimate g(t) using the trapezium rule with

(i) t-1 strips,

(ii) 2(t-1) strips,

(iii) 4(t-1) strips.

In each case, express g(t) in terms of  t and determine $\lim_{t\to\infty} g(t)$.

(b) Suppose t is a real number, find g(t) using integration and determine $\lim_{t\to\infty} g(t)$.

(c) Comment on your findings.
