Answer to Problem 1PQ

Solution:

Correct option is (c)

Explanation of Solution

Given:

AB (A conditional statement)

Options are:

(a)BA    (b)~BA

(c)~B~A     (d)~~ B

Definition:

The statement (~q)(~p) is called the contrapositive of the statement pq.

So, the contrapositive of AB is (~B)(~A)

Hence correct option is c.

Use the definition of continuity and the properties of limits to show that the function is continuous at the given number a. f(x) = (x + 4x4) 5, a = -1 lim f(x) X--1 = lim x+4x X--1 lim X-1 4 x+4x 5 ))" 5 )) by the power law by the sum law lim (x) + lim X--1 4 4x X-1 -(0,00+( Find f(-1). f(-1)=243 lim (x) + -1 +4 35 4 ([ ) lim (x4) 5 x-1 Thus, by the definition of continuity, f is continuous at a = -1. by the multiple constant law by the direct substitution property
1. Compute Lo F⚫dr, where and C is defined by F(x, y) = (x² + y)i + (y − x)j r(t) = (12t)i + (1 − 4t + 4t²)j from the point (1, 1) to the origin.
2. Consider the vector force: F(x, y, z) = 2xye²i + (x²e² + y)j + (x²ye² — z)k. (A) [80%] Show that F satisfies the conditions for a conservative vector field, and find a potential function (x, y, z) for F. Remark: To find o, you must use the method explained in the lecture. (B) [20%] Use the Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals to compute the work done by F on an object moves along any path from (0,1,2) to (2, 1, -8).
