(ii) Prove that is a1 , ..., an , b1 , ..., bn are any real numbers then
(a1 b1 + · · · + an bn )2 ≤ (a21 + · · · + a2n )(b21 + · · · + b2n ).
This is the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality. Hint: Consider an
expression of the form
(a1 x + b1 )2 + · · · + (an x + bn )2 .
(iii) Let a1 , ..., an , be positive real numbers. Let An denote the
arithmetic mean and H n the harmonic mean. ie. An =
−1

. Prove that
Hn ≤ An . Hint: Use (ii).
(3) (i ) Let (
1, x is rational
f (x) =
0, x is irrational.
Prove that limx→0 f (x) does not exist.
(ii ) Prove that limx→0 xf (x) = 0.
