How do I calculate the value of a power series using the radius of convergence of another series?
HINT
Consider the following power series (known as geometric series) which converges whenever $|x| < 1$:
\begin{align*}
\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}x^{n} = 1 + x + x^{2} + x^{3} + \ldots = \frac{1}{1 - x}

Is there exist a real continuous function f such that $\int_0^x f(t) dt =mf(x)$ for some real constant m?
We can also try to use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus here to try and find a solution. We start with the equalty
$$mf(x)=\int_0^x f(t) \mathrm{d}t.$$
Differentiating this then yields
$$mf'(x)=f(x)...

Show that $f_n(x)$ converges uniformly to a continuous function on $[0,1 ]$
Use the contraction mapping theorem applied to the space $C[0,1]$ and the mapping $T:C[0,1]\to C[0,1]$ with
$$Tf(x)=-1+\frac{1}{3}\int_0^1\cos\left(3x^2+y^2+1\right)f(y)\,dy.$$
To see that this is a ...

Is this condition clearly stated: $f(x)=0 \Rightarrow f(y)\geq(OR \leq) 0$ for all function $f$ in $A$?
It's generally cleaner and clearer to put quantifiers at the front of the expression, and use "for all" instead of "for any". Furthermore, your condition seems to be that if $f(x)$ ...

Need Help in Reasoning with Extremal Points
Hint : By the triangle inequality, and the fact that $|f(x)| \leq 1$ for every $x$, one has
$$1 = \left| \int_K f(x) d\mu\right| \leq \int_K |f(x)| d\mu \leq \int_K 1 d\mu = \mu(K)=1$$
So you must ...

Rigorous definition of $\lim\limits_{{\mathbf{|x|}\to\infty}}\mathbf{f(x)}=\infty$ $\mathbf{f}:M\to\mathbb{R^m}$
Let $f:M\to\mathbf{R}^m$ be a function from a subset $M$ of $\mathbf{R}^n$ to $\mathbf{R}^m$.
When $M$ is a bounded subset of $\mathbf{R}^n$, the expression $\displaystyle \lim_{|x|\to\infty}f(x)$ ...

If $f\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is uniformly continuous, do its integrals over spheres of increasing radius decay to zero?
You're right, it's false.
First, consider the function
$$\operatorname{bump}(x;x_0,a)=\begin{cases}\exp\left(\frac{-1}{1-(x-x_0)^2/a^2}\right)&|x-x_0|<a \\ 0 & |x-x_0|\geq a\end{cases}$$

If $(a_n)\subset[0,\infty)$ is non-increasing and $\sum a_n<\infty$, then $\lim{n a_n} = 0$

If $a_n$ is a positive sequence and $\lim \limits_{n \to \infty}a_n=0$ then there exists $N>0$ such that $(a_{N+n})$ is decreasing
The counterexample you gave is correct. This is sufficient to solve the problem given. As for what follows..
If we assume $(a_{N+n})$ is decreasing for some $N$, that means $a_{N+n+1} \leqslant a_{N+...

How to prove that $x_n=1+\frac{1}{2!}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n!}$ is a Cauchy sequence?
Let n and m be nonnegative integers (n,m≥1). We have:

Let $\{E_k\}$ be a sequence of measurable sets in X. Show that $A\in\mathfrak{M}$, where $A$ is the set of all x that lie in infinitely many $E_k$'s.
$$
A =\bigcap_{N=1}^\infty \bigcup_{n\ge N} E_k
$$
By definition, this means any point of $A$ belongs to infinitely many of $E_k$. By the fact that $E_k$ are all measurable, you conclude $A$ is as ...
