Question 1 [ 4 + (3 + 3) + 4 + 4 = 18 Marks]
(a) Given ∈> 0, we need to find 𝑁 < 0 such that

− 0 <∈ if 𝑥<𝑁
Now,
<∈, which means that |𝑥 + 2| > . Since 𝑥 → −∞, we have −(𝑥 + 2) > . So
∈ ∈
𝑥 + 2 < − , which means that 𝑥 < − − 2. Hence,
∈ ∈
𝑥 <− −2 if 𝑥 < 𝑁.

(c) The relative error in 𝐴 is approximately , where 𝐴 = 4𝜋𝑟 and 𝑑𝐴 = 8𝜋𝑟𝑑𝑟. Thus,

𝑑𝐴 8𝜋𝑟𝑑𝑟 𝑑𝑟

𝐴 4𝜋𝑟 𝑟
So,
𝑑𝑟 1 𝑑𝐴 1

𝑟 2 𝐴 2

(d) Given = 6, we need to find . The equation = could be written as

( , ) ( , )

𝑥𝑦 = + 𝑦 . Differentiating both sides with respect to 𝑡, we get
