    The document outlines the topics and problems on an exam for an Advanced Calculus I course. It includes 9 problems testing a variety of calculus concepts such as proving sets are countable or uncountable, limits of sequences and functions, properties of closed and bounded sets, and important theorems like Bolzano-Weierstrass and Heine-Borel. The exam evaluates a range of foundational calculus skills over multiple areas of the subject through both computational and theoretical questions.

    Advanced Calculus I (Midterm Exam)

    1. Prove that a nonempty set A is countable if there is a one-to-one


    function f : A → N. Use this result to show that N2 = N × N is
    countably infinite. (15 points)

    2. Let LS be the set of all lower bounds of a nonempty set S ⊂ R


    which is bounded below.
    (i) Show that LS has the least upper bound m. (5 points)
    (ii) Show also that m = inf S. (10 points)

    3. Show that Q is dense in R, that is, every open interval (a, b) contains
    a rational number. (10 points)

    4. Prove that if {an } is a convergent sequence in R, then it is bounded.


    Is the converse true? Justify your answer. (10 points)

    5. Let Ŝ be the set of all limit points of a nonempty set S ⊂ R. Then


    the union S ∪ Ŝ is called the closure of S and denoted by S.
    (i) Show that S is closed. (10 points)
    (ii) Show that S is closed if and only if S = S. (5 points)

    6. Given nonempty subsets A and B of R, the distance between A and


    B is defined by
    d(A, B) = inf{|a − b| : a ∈ A, b ∈ B}.

    (i) Show that there exist sequences {an } and {bn } such that
    an ∈ A, bn ∈ B and lim |an − bn | = d(A, B).
    n→∞

    (5 points)
    1
    2

    (ii) Show that if A, B are closed and B is bounded, then there exist
    a ∈ A and b ∈ B such that |a − b| = d(A, B). (10 points)
    Hint: Use the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem.

    7. Let {an } be a bounded sequence of real numbers. For each n ≥ 1,


    let us define
    bn = sup ak = sup{an , an+1 , an+2 , · · · }.
    k≥n

    (i) Show that {bn } converges. (5 points)


    (ii) Show that limn→∞ bn = lim sup an . (10 points)

    8. Define f : R → R by
    ½
    2x − 1 if x is rational
    f (x) =
    5 − x if x is irrational.
    Show that limx→a f (x) exists if and only if a = 2. (10 points)

    9. Prove one of the following two theorems, which are the most impor-
    tant results in Chapter 2. (15 points)
    (i) The Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem: every bounded infinite subset
    of R has at least one limit point.
    (ii) The Heine-Borel theorem: every bounded and closed subset of R
    is compact.

    Notations
    N: the set of all natural numbers
