Prove that the function defined by f(x)=11+x2f(x) = \frac{1}{1 + x^2} is uniformly continuous on R\mathbb{R}.

Prove that the function f(x)f(x) is continuous or discontinuous at x=2x = 2 and x=3x = 3 using the given piecewise function: f(x)=x+2f(x) = \sqrt{x+2} when x<2x < 2, f(x)=x22f(x) = x^2 - 2 when 2x<32 \leq x < 3, f(x)=2x+5f(x) = 2x + 5 when x3x \geq 3.

Determine if the function f(x)=2x+5f(x) = 2x + 5 when x<1x < -1, f(x)=x2+2f(x) = x^2 + 2 when x>1x > -1, and f(x)=5f(x) = 5 when x=1x = -1 is continuous or discontinuous at x=1x = -1. If discontinuous, identify the type of discontinuity.

Prove that the square root function is continuous at x=0x = 0 using the epsilon-delta definition of continuity.

Prove that the square root function is continuous at all positive numbers using the epsilon-delta definition of continuity.

Consider the sequence an=n2a_n = \frac{n}{2}. Prove that this sequence diverges to positive infinity.

Prove that the sequence an=n2a_n = -\frac{n}{2} diverges to negative infinity.

Prove that the sequence an=(1)na_n = (-1)^n diverges.

Consider the series with 1k!\frac{1}{k!}. The question is: 'Is this a convergent series?'

Consider a complicated looking series, but with a power involved. Use the root test to determine if this series is convergent.

Use the ratio test on 1e+2e2+3e3++nen+\frac{1}{e} + \frac{2}{e^2} + \frac{3}{e^3} + \ldots + \frac{n}{e^n} + \ldots to determine if the series converges or diverges.

What does the ratio test say about the convergence/divergence of the series n=1(1)n(n+3)4\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{(n+3)^4}?

Prove that the set of real numbers between 0 and 1, where their decimal expansion only contains the digits 3 and 4, is uncountable using Cantor's diagonalization argument.

Prove Cantor's Theorem which states that for any set AA, the power set of AA always has a cardinality strictly greater than AA.

For the set of reciprocals of all natural numbers, find the greatest lower bound (infimum) and the least upper bound (supremum).

Given the set composed of terms rac{m}{m+n} for m,nm, n in natural numbers, find the greatest lower bound (infimum) and the least upper bound (supremum).

Prove that if SS is an upper bound for a set AA, then SS is the least upper bound (supremum) of AA if and only if for all epsilon>0 epsilon > 0, there exists an a in A such that Sepsilon<aS - epsilon < a.

Take a subset of the rational numbers Q such that x2<2x^2 < 2 for all x in Q. Show that this set does not have a supremum in Q.

If a function ff is continuous at a point x0x_0, then the limit of the function ff as xx0x \to x_0 exists and is equal to f(x0)f(x_0). Verify this for the function f(x)=xf(x) = |x| at x0=0x_0 = 0.

Give an example of a function that is discontinuous everywhere.
