Exercise 1 :
1. Give an example of a function that is not Riemann integrable (without
justification).
2. Prove, by definition, that the function
(
1 if x = 0
f (x) =
x2 if 0 < x ≤ 1
R1
is Riemann integrable on [0, 1] and 0 f (x) dx = 31 .
3. Determine the limits of the sequences defined by the following general
term :
Pn
(a) un = k=1 nn+k 2 +k 2 .
n1
(b) vn = (2n)!
nn n! .
Exercise 2 :
1. (a) Compute the following integral :
Z 2
1
I= dx.
1 x(x + 1)
(b) Using integration by parts, compute the integral :
Z 2
ln(1 + t)
J= dt.
1 t2
Re 1
2. Calculate the integral K = 1 x+x(ln x)2
dx by performing the change of
variables t = ln(x).
Exercise 3 :
For every natural integer n, we define In as :
Z 1 √
In = xn 1 − x dx.
