Question 02 (a) |
---|
Only one of the following statements is always true; determine which one is true. (Assume and are continuous functions.) A: If , then converges. B: If is an odd function, then . C: If , then converges. D: If for all and converges, then converges. E: |
Make sure you understand the problem fully: What is the question asking you to do? Are there specific conditions or constraints that you should take note of? How will you know if your answer is correct from your work only? Can you rephrase the question in your own words in a way that makes sense to you? |
If you are stuck, check the hint below. Consider it for a while. Does it give you a new idea on how to approach the problem? If so, try it! |
Hint |
---|
For A and C, consider the fact that diverges. For B, try to compute the integrals for some odd function. (for example, ) For D, recall the comparison test. For E, try the substitution . |
Checking a solution serves two purposes: helping you if, after having used the hint, you still are stuck on the problem; or if you have solved the problem and would like to check your work.

Please rate my easiness! It's quick and helps everyone guide their studies. A: False. A counter example is . B: False. Try . Then In fact, using substitution , . Note that because is an odd function. C: False. A counter example is . D: True. Since converges, this integral has certain value(number), say . Then the assumption on implies that
by the comparison property of integral. Therefore, , so that also has a certain value between 0 and M. i.e., convergent. E: False. A counter example is . , while . In fact, using substitution , . The answer is D. |
