2.

Use the Weierstrass M-test to prove that the exponential series
\begin{equation*} \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!} \end{equation*}
converges uniformly on every interval \([-R,R]\text{.}\)

4.

For each \(n \in \N\text{,}\) define
\begin{equation*} f_n(x)= \begin{cases} 4n^2x & \text{if } 0 \le x \le \frac{1}{2n},\\ 4n-4n^2x & \text{if } \frac{1}{2n} \lt x \le \frac{1}{n},\\ 0 & \text{if } \frac{1}{n} \lt x \le 1. \end{cases} \end{equation*}
Show that \(f_n \to 0\) pointwise on \([0,1]\text{,}\) but \(\int_0^1 f_n = 1\) for every \(n\text{.}\)

5.

Define
\begin{equation*} F(x)=\int_1^x \frac{dt}{t} \qquad (x \gt 0). \end{equation*}
Use the derivative formula for \(\ln x\) to prove that \(F(x)=\ln x\) for all \(x \gt 0\text{.}\)

6.

Use the addition formulas for sine and cosine to prove that
\begin{equation*} \sin(2x)=2\sin x \cos x \qquad\text{and}\qquad \cos(2x)=\cos^2 x-\sin^2 x. \end{equation*}
Deduce the identities
\begin{equation*} \cos^2 x=\frac{1+\cos(2x)}{2} \qquad\text{and}\qquad \sin^2 x=\frac{1-\cos(2x)}{2}. \end{equation*}
