Find all cube roots of (-8).

[ \left|\frac3n+12n+5 - \frac32\right| = \left|\frac2(3n+1) - 3(2n+5)2(2n+5)\right| = \left|\frac-132(2n+5)\right| = \frac132(2n+5) < \frac134n ] Given (\varepsilon>0), choose (N > \frac134\varepsilon). Then for (n\ge N), (\frac134n<\varepsilon), so the difference (<\varepsilon). QED. Chapter 10 – Continuity and Limits Exercise 10.4 Show (f(x)=x^2) is continuous at (x=2).

Let remainder be (ax+b). Write (x^100 = (x^2-1)Q(x) + ax+b). Set (x=1): (1 = a+b). Set (x=-1): (1 = -a+b). Solve: adding → (2=2b \Rightarrow b=1,\ a=0). Remainder = 1. Chapter 7 – Relations and Functions Exercise 7.2 Define relation (R) on (\mathbbZ) by (aRb) if (a-b) is even. Prove (R) is an equivalence relation.

Inverse of 3 mod 11: (3\times 4 = 12\equiv 1), so inverse is 4. Multiply both sides by 4: (x \equiv 20 \equiv 9 \pmod11). Check: (3\times 9=27\equiv 5) ✓. Chapter 4 – Real Numbers Exercise 4.1 Prove: if (x) is real and (x^2 < 1), then (-1 < x < 1).

But must exclude numbers starting with 0? If first digit is 0, it’s not a 4‑digit number. Count invalid: Fix first digit=0 and it’s one of the two even positions. Choose other even position (3 ways), fill that even (5 ways). Fill two odd positions (5^2). So invalid = (3\times 5\times 25 = 375). Valid = (3750 - 375 = 3375). Find all cube roots of (-8)

Let (y=x^2): (y^2-5y+4=(y-1)(y-4)=(x^2-1)(x^2-4)=(x-1)(x+1)(x-2)(x+2)).

Choose 2 positions for evens: (\binom42=6). Fill evens: (5^2) ways (0–8 evens). Fill odds: (5^2) ways. Total = (6 \times 25 \times 25 = 3750). Write (x^100 = (x^2-1)Q(x) + ax+b)

Multiply numerator and denominator by conjugate (1+i): [ \frac(2+3i)(1+i)(1-i)(1+i) = \frac2+2i+3i+3i^21+1 = \frac2+5i-32 = \frac-1+5i2 = -\frac12 + \frac52i ]
