1.

Let F(x) be a function such that

·

domain(F) = R.

·

For all x,y, F(x + y) = F(x) ·F(y).

·

F(0) ¹ 0.

·

F is differentiable at 0 and F^¢(0) = p.

Show that, for every a, F is differentiable at a and find a formula for F^¢(x). Here formula is an expression in terms of F or a familiar function.

2.

Let G(x) be a function such that

·

domain(G) = R⁺ º {x | x > 0}.

·

For all x,y > 0, G(x ·y) = G(x) + G(y).

·

G(1) = 0.

·

G is differentiable at 1 and G^¢(1) = 1.

Show that, for every a > 0, G is differentiable at a, and find a formula for G^¢(x), x > 0. Here formula is an expression in terms of G or a familiar function.

3.

Let E be a function such that

·

E is differentiable for all x,

·

E is an even function.

Show that

·

E^¢ is an odd function,

·

E^¢(0) = 0.

4.

S and C are functions such that

·

For all x, S and C are differentiable,

·

S^¢ = pC (for all x, S^¢(x) = pC(x)), C^¢ = - pS.

·

S(0) = 0, C(0) = p.

Find a formula for S⁽ⁿ⁾(0), n = 0,1,2, ¼
