LIMITS
2.1 Limits of Sequences
1. (a) A sequence is an ordered list of numbers. It can also be defined as a function whose domain is the set of positive integers.
(b) The terms ๏ก๏ฎ approach 8 as ๏ฎ becomes large. In fact, we can make ๏ก๏ฎ as close to 8 as we like by taking ๏ฎ sufficiently
large.
(c) The terms ๏ก๏ฎ become large as ๏ฎ becomes large. In fact, we can make ๏ก๏ฎ as large as we like by taking ๏ฎ sufficiently large.
2. (a) From Definition 1, a convergent sequence is a sequence for which lim ๏ก๏ฎ exists. Examples: {1๏ฝ๏ฎ}, {1๏ฝ2๏ฎ }
๏ฎโโ
(b) A divergent sequence is a sequence for which lim ๏ก๏ฎ does not exist. Examples: {๏ฎ}, {sin ๏ฎ}
๏ฎโโ
3. The graph shows a decline in the world record for the menโs 100-meter sprint as ๏ด increases. It is tempting to say that this
sequence will approach zero, however, it is important to remember that the sequence represents data from a physical
competition. Thus, the sequence likely has a nonzero limit as ๏ด โ โ since human physiology will ultimately limit how fast a
human can sprint 100-meters. This means that there is a certain world record time which athletes can never surpass.
4. (a) If the sequence does not have a limit as ๏ด โ โ, then the world record distances for the womenโs hammer throw may
increase indefinitely as ๏ด โ โ. That is, the sequence is divergent.
(b) It seems unlikely that the world record hammer throw distance will increase indefinitely. Human physiology will
ultimately limit the maximum distance a woman can throw. Therefore, barring evolutionary changes to human physiology,
it seems likely that the sequence will converge.

PROJECT Modeling the Dynamics of Viral Infections
1. Viral replication is an example of exponential growth. The exponential growth recursion formula is ๏(๏ด + 1) = ๏๏ (๏ด) where
๏ is the growth rate and ๏(๏ด) is the number of viral particles at time ๏ด. In Section 1.6, we saw the general solution of this
recursion is ๏๏ด = ๏0 ยท ๏๏ด ๏บ With ๏ = 3 and ๏0 = 1, the recursion equation is ๏๏ด+1 = 3๏๏ด and the general solution is
๏๏ด = 3๏ด ๏บ
2. Let ๏ด1 be the amount of time spent in phase 1 of the infection. Solving for ๏ด1 in the equation ๏๏ด1 = ๏0 ยท ๏๏ด1 using logarithms:
๏ก
๏ข
ln(๏๏ด1 ๏ฝ๏0 )
ln ๏๏ด1 = ln (๏๏ด1 ๏ฝ๏0 ) โ ๏ด1 =
. The immune response initiates when ๏๏ด1 = 2 ยท 106 . Therefore the time it
ln(๏)
takes for the immune response to kick in is ๏ด1 =
ln(2 ยท 106 ) โ ln(๏0 )
โ 13๏บ2 โ 0๏บ91 ln(๏0 ). Hence, the larger the initial
ln(3)
viral size the sooner the immune system responds.
3. Let ๏ด2 be the amount of time since the immune response initiated, ๏immune be the replication rate during the immune response,
and ๏คimmune be the number of viruses killed by the immune system at each timestep. The second phase of the infection is
modeled by a two-step recursion. First, the virus replicates producing ๏ โ = ๏immune ๏๏ด2 viruses. Then, the immune system
kills viruses leaving ๏๏ด2 +1 = ๏ โ โ ๏คimmune leftover. Combining the two steps gives the recursion formula
๏๏ด2 +1 = ๏immune ๏๏ด2 โ ๏คimmune .
4. The viral population will decrease over time if โ๏ ๏ผ 0 at each timestep. Solving this inequality for ๏๏ด2 :
๏๏ด2 +1 โ ๏๏ด2 ๏ผ 0 โ (๏immune โ 1)๏๏ด2 โ ๏คimmune ๏ผ 0 โ ๏๏ด2 ๏ผ
๏คimmune
where we assumed ๏immune ๏พ 1๏บ
(๏immune โ 1)
Substituting the constants ๏immune = 12 ยท 3 = 1๏บ5 and ๏คimmune = 500๏ป 000 gives ๏๏ด2 ๏ผ 1๏ป 000๏ป 000. Therefore, the immune
response will cause the infection to subside over time if the viral count is less than one million. This is not possible since the
immune response initiates only once the virus reaches two million copies.
5. The recursion for the third phase can be obtained from the second phase recursion formula by replacing the replication and
death rates with the new values. This gives ๏๏ด3 +1 = ๏drug ๏๏ด3 โ ๏คdrug where ๏ด3 is the amount of time since the start of drug
treatment.
6. Similar to Problem 4, we solve for ๏๏ด3 in the inequality โ๏ = ๏๏ด3 +1 โ ๏๏ด3 ๏ผ 0 and find that ๏๏ด3 ๏ผ
๏คdrug
.
(๏drug โ 1)
Substituting the constants ๏drug = 1๏บ25 and ๏คdrug = 25๏ป 000๏ป 000 gives ๏๏ด3 ๏ผ 100๏ป 000๏ป 000. Therefore, the drug and immune
system will cause the infection to subside over time if the viral count is less than 100 million. This is possible provided drug
treatment begins before the viral count reaches 100 million.

Hence, drug treatment must be started within approximately one day (24 hours) of the initial infection in order to control the
viral count.
8. A general expression for the time it takes to reach the critical viral load is obtained by combining the expressions for ๏ด1 and ๏ด2
๏ธ
๏๏ด2 + ๏คimmune (1 โ ๏immune )โ1

from Problems 2 and 7. This gives ๏ด = ๏ด1 + ๏ด2 =

๏ท
Substituting ๏immune = 0๏บ5๏, ๏คimmune = 5 ยท 105 ๏ป ๏0 = ๏ฎ0 and ๏๏ด2 = 100 ยท 106 gives

so that some time is spent in phase 1.
9. After 24 hours, the infection has been in the immune response phase for ๏ด2 = 24 โ 13๏บ21 = 10๏บ79 h.
Using the general expression for ๏๏ด2 from Problem 7 the number of viruses after 24 hours is

๏ท
๏ธ๏
๏๏ด3 + ๏คdrug (1 โ ๏drug )โ1
๏ด3 = ln
ln ๏drug where ๏ด3 is the amount of time since the drug treatment started. Substituting
๏0 + ๏คdrug (1 โ ๏drug )โ1
values ๏๏ด3 = 0, ๏0 = 80๏ป 555๏ป 008, ๏drug = 1๏บ25 and ๏คdrug = 25๏ป 000๏ป 000 yields ๏ด3 = 7๏บ34 h. Therefore, it takes
approximately 7 hours after starting the drug treatment to completely eliminate the virus.

2. As ๏ธ approaches 1 from the left, ๏ฆ (๏ธ) approaches 3; and as ๏ธ approaches 1 from the right, ๏ฆ(๏ธ) approaches 7. No, the limit
does not exist because the left- and right-hand limits are different.
3. (a) lim ๏ฆ (๏ธ) = โ means that the values of ๏ฆ (๏ธ) can be made arbitrarily large (as large as we please) by taking ๏ธ
๏ธโโ3
sufficiently close to โ3 (but not equal to โ3).
(b) lim ๏ฆ(๏ธ) = โโ means that the values of ๏ฆ (๏ธ) can be made arbitrarily large negative by taking ๏ธ sufficiently close to 4

52. Solution 1: First, we find the coordinates of ๏ and ๏ as functions of ๏ฒ. Then we can find the equation of the line determined
by these two points, and thus find the ๏ธ-intercept (the point ๏), and take the limit as ๏ฒ โ 0. The coordinates of ๏ are (0๏ป ๏ฒ).
The point ๏ is the point of intersection of the two circles ๏ธ2 + ๏น 2 = ๏ฒ2 and (๏ธ โ 1)2 + ๏น 2 = 1. Eliminating ๏น from these
equations, we get ๏ฒ2 โ ๏ธ2 = 1 โ (๏ธ โ 1)2
๏ฒ2 = 1 + 2๏ธ โ 1 โ ๏ธ = 12 ๏ฒ2 . Substituting back into the equation of the
๏ฑ

๏ก

๏ก
โ ๏น = ๏ฒ 1 โ 14 ๏ฒ2

๏ฑ
๏ณ
๏ด
(the positive ๏น-value). So the coordinates of ๏ are 12 ๏ฒ2 ๏ป ๏ฒ 1 โ 14 ๏ฒ2 . The equation of the line joining ๏ and ๏ is thus
๏ฑ
๏ฒ 1 โ 14 ๏ฒ2 โ ๏ฒ

๏ฒโ0+
๏ฒโ0+
๏ฒโ0+
So the limiting position of ๏ is the point (4๏ป 0).
Solution 2: We add a few lines to the diagram, as shown. Note that
โ ๏ ๏๏ = 90โฆ (subtended by diameter ๏ ๏). So โ ๏๏๏ = 90โฆ = โ ๏๏๏
(subtended by diameter ๏๏ ). It follows that โ ๏๏๏ = โ ๏ ๏๏. Also
โ ๏ ๏๏ = 90โฆ โ โ ๏๏ ๏ = โ ๏๏๏ . Since 4๏๏๏ is isosceles, so is
4๏๏ ๏, implying that ๏๏ = ๏ ๏. As the circle ๏2 shrinks, the point ๏
plainly approaches the origin, so the point ๏ must approach a point twice
as far from the origin as ๏ , that is, the point (4๏ป 0), as above.
2.5 Continuity
1. From Definition 1, lim ๏ฆ (๏ธ) = ๏ฆ (4).
๏ธโ4
2. The graph of ๏ฆ has no hole, jump, or vertical asymptote.
3. (a) ๏ฆ is discontinuous at โ4 since ๏ฆ (โ4) is not defined and at โ2, 2, and 4 since the limit does not exist (the left and right
limits are not the same).
(b) ๏ฆ is continuous from the left at โ2 since
lim ๏ฆ (๏ธ) = ๏ฆ (โ2). ๏ฆ is continuous from the right at 2 and 4 since
๏ธโโ2โ
lim ๏ฆ(๏ธ) = ๏ฆ (2) and lim ๏ฆ (๏ธ) = ๏ฆ (4). It is continuous from neither side at โ4 since ๏ฆ (โ4) is undefined.

๏ธโ4+
4. ๏ง is continuous on [โ4๏ป โ2), (โ2๏ป 2), (2๏ป 4), (4๏ป 6), and (6๏ป 8).
5. The graph of ๏น = ๏ฆ (๏ธ) must have a discontinuity at
๏ธ = 2 and must show that lim ๏ฆ (๏ธ) = ๏ฆ (2).
๏ธโ2+
6. The graph of ๏น = ๏ฆ (๏ธ) must have discontinuities
at ๏ธ = โ1 and ๏ธ = 4. It must show that

9. (a) C has discontinuities at 12, 24, and 36 hours since the limit does not exist at these points.
(b) C has jump discontinuities at the values of ๏ด listed in part (a) because the function jumps from one value to another at these
points.
10. There are jump discontinuities at 1, 1.7, 3, and 3.5. They occur because the left and right side limits are different at each of
these points, so the limit does not exist. For example, lim๏ดโ1โ ๏ (๏ด) = 26 and lim๏ดโ1+ ๏ (๏ด) = 24๏ป so lim๏ดโ1 ๏ (๏ด) does not
exist and ๏ (๏ด) is discontinuous at ๏ด = 1๏บ
11. (a)
(b) There are discontinuities at times ๏ด = 1, 2, 3, and 4. A person
parking in the lot would want to keep in mind that the charge will
jump at the beginning of each hour.
12. (a) Continuous; at the location in question, the temperature changes smoothly as time passes, without any instantaneous jumps
from one temperature to another.
(b) Discontinuous; the population size increases or decreases in whole number increments.
(c) Continuous; the temperature at a specific time changes smoothly as the distance due west from New York City increases,
without any instantaneous jumps.
(d) Discontinuous; as the distance due west from New York City increases, the altitude above sea level may jump from one
height to another without going through all of the intermediate values โ at a cliff, for example.
(e) Discontinuous; as the distance traveled increases, the cost of the ride jumps in small increments.

โ ๏ธ3 โ ๏ธ + 1 = 0. Let the left-hand side of this equation be
called ๏ฆ (๏ธ). Now ๏ฆ (โ2) = โ5 ๏ผ 0, and ๏ฆ (โ1) = 1 ๏พ 0. Note also that ๏ฆ (๏ธ) is a polynomial, and thus continuous. So by the
Intermediate Value Theorem, there is a number ๏ฃ between โ2 and โ1 such that ๏ฆ(๏ฃ) = 0, so that ๏ฃ = ๏ฃ3 + 1.
50. ๏ฆ (๏ธ) = ๏ธ4 sin(1๏ฝ๏ธ) is continuous on (โโ๏ป 0) โช (0๏ป โ) since it is the product of a polynomial and a composite of a

lim (โ๏ธ4 ) = 0 and lim ๏ธ4 = 0, the Squeeze Theorem gives us lim (๏ธ4 sin(1๏ฝ๏ธ)) = 0, which equals ๏ฆ(0). Thus, ๏ฆ is

consider the function ๏ต โ ๏ค, which is clearly continuous. We calculate that (๏ต โ ๏ค)(0) = โ๏ and (๏ต โ ๏ค)(12) = ๏.
So by the Intermediate Value Theorem, there must be some time ๏ด0 between 0 and 12 such that (๏ต โ ๏ค)(๏ด0 ) = 0 โ
๏ต(๏ด0 ) = ๏ค(๏ด0 ). So at time ๏ด0 after 7:00 AM , the monk will be at the same place on both days.

CHAPTER 2 LIMITS
CASE STUDY 2a Hosts, Parasites, and Time-Travel
1. The functions ๏ฑ(๏ด) and ๏ฐ(๏ด) describing the genotype frequencies of the host and parasite are both transformations of the
function cos(๏ด). Thus, they are oscillatory functions that exhibit periodic or repeating behavior. Biologically, we expect the
parasite genotype will evolve to infect the host genotype that is most prevalent in the population. As this happens, the host
genotypes will evolve to avoid infection. In turn, the parasite genotype frequency will evolve (for survival) towards the new
prevalent host genotype frequency. This cat-and-mouse game causes a cycling of the host and parasite genotype frequencies
that is described by the periodic functions ๏ฑ(๏ด) and ๏ฐ(๏ด). E.g. if the frequency of type A is high, the parasite will evolve toward
a high frequency of type B. The host population will then evolve leading to a lower frequency of genotype A (to avoid
infection), and in turn, the parasite population will evolve toward a lower frequency of genotype B (for survival).
2. ๏๏ฑ and ๏๏ฐ represent vertical stretch factors to the parent function cos(๏ด). They are the amplitudes of oscillation for the
frequencies of genotype A and B respectively. Therefore, an increase in ๏ results in a higher maximum frequency and a lower
minimum frequency over time for the respective genotype.
3. The constant ๏ฃ represents a horizontal compression factor to the parent function cos(๏ด). This gives a period of oscillation of
2๏ผ
for both ๏ฑ(๏ด) and ๏ฐ(๏ด). Therefore, increasing ๏ฃ results in a smaller period of oscillation for both the host and parasite
๏ฃ
frequencies.
Biological explanation: Suppose uninfected hosts have a large reproductive advantage over infected hosts so that ๏ฃ is large.
The uninfected host population will grow rapidly in size compared to the infected host population. Consequently, the parasite
with the genotype capable of infecting the growing uninfected host population will also increase rapidly, since more hosts will
be available to the parasite for infection. As this occurs, the uninfected hosts become infected and now the formerly infected
hosts will have the reproductive advantage. Thus, the frequencies of the host and parasite genotypes will cycle rapidly back
and forth. That is, the period of oscillation will be small.
4. The constants ๏๏ฐ and ๏๏ฑ affect the horizontal translation of the parent function cos(๏ด). They are the phase shifts that determine
the time at which the genotype frequencies reach a maximum.
5. The constants ๏๏ฐ and ๏๏ฑ affect the horizontal position of the periodic functions ๏ฐ(๏ด) and ๏ฑ(๏ด), so the difference ๏โ = ๏๏ฐ โ ๏๏ฑ
measures the time lag between the cycles of ๏ฑ(๏ด) and ๏ฐ(๏ด). Hence, this quantity is a measure of the length of time it takes for
the frequency of the parasite genotype to “respond” to the frequency of the host genotype.
6. Consider the general form of equations 2a and 2b given by ๏ฆave (๏ฟ ) = 12 + ๏ cos (๏ฃ๏ฟ โ ๏)

๏ข
๏ก
have lim ๏ฆave (๏ฟ ) = 12 + ๏ cos ๏ฃ๏ฟ โ ๏๏ฑ . This is the same form as equations (1a) and (1b). Thus, when extracting and

mixing a very small layer of sediment (๏ โ 0), the average frequency of the host and parasite genotypes are the same as the
instantaneous frequencies ๏ฑ(๏ฟ ) and ๏ฐ(๏ฟ ).

In terms of the biology, extracting and mixing an extremely small width of sediment will capture parasites and hosts from a
very short period of time (nearly an instant). In contrast, extracting and mixing a very large layer of sediment will homogenize
the host and parasite frequencies across a large period of time. Hence, the frequencies at different points in time can no longer
be differentiated so we expect a constant average frequency of host and parasite genotypes.

These properties are illustrated in the sketches of ๏ (๏) below for ๏โ = 0, ๏โ small positive, and ๏โ small negative. We
have assumed that ๏ฃ is sufficiently large, so that if ๏โ is close to zero, then ๏โ ๏ฝ๏ฃ is also close to zero.

8. The experimental data in Figure 3 shows an increase in the fraction of hosts infected as the sample points move from the past
to the future. The graphs from Problem 7 illustrate the variety of situations that can arise given different phase lags ๏โ . In the
๏ท โ
๏ธ
๏ โ ๏ผ ๏โ
figure corresponding to ๏โ ๏พ 0, observe that ๏ (๏) is an increasing function in the interval
๏ป
. That is, the
๏ฃ
๏ฃ
fraction of hosts infected increases as the sample points move from the past to the future for relatively small values of ๏ฃ๏. This
is the same pattern observed in Figure 3. Thus, we require that the phase lag ๏โ be small and positive in order to observe the
experimental trend in Figure 3.
Biological interpretation: When ๏โ ๏พ 0 there is a phase or time lag between the oscillations in frequency of the host and
parasite populations. In the experiment, parasites from the past had not yet evolved to infect the present hosts, so fewer hosts
were infected by parasites from the past. Parasites from the future had evolved to infect hosts from the present, so a greater
number of hosts were infected by parasites from the future.

9. The experimental results depicted in Figure 4 show a decrease in the fraction of infected hosts when challenged with parasites
from both the past and future. Examining the figures from Problem 6, we observe that this experimental result is achievable
๏จ ๏ผ๏ฉ
๏จ ๏ผ ๏ฉ
when ๏โ = 0. In this case, ๏ (๏) is increasing on the interval โ ๏ป 0 and decreasing on the interval 0๏ป
. So if we start at
๏ฃ
๏ฃ
๏ = 0 and decrease ๏ by a small amount (move into the past), the fraction of infected hosts will decrease. Similarly, if we
start at ๏ = 0 and increase ๏ by a small amount (move into the future), the fraction of infected hosts will also decrease. This
is the same pattern observed in Figure 4. Thus, we require that the phase lag ๏โ be zero in order to observe the experimental
trend in Figure 4.
Biological interpretation: When ๏โ = 0 there is no phase lag between the frequency of the host and parasite genotypes. That
is, the frequency of the parasite genotype oscillates in a synchronous manner with the frequency of the host genotype. In a
sense, the parasitesโ genotype evolves with the host in real-time to maximize the number of infected hosts. Thus, parasites
from the past will infect fewer hosts than contemporary parasites since the contemporary parasites have already evolved to
infect contemporary hosts. Similarly, parasites from the future will infect fewer hosts than contemporary parasites since the
future parasites have evolved to infect future hosts.
