Assignment 4

This assignment has a total of (34 points).
Note: Unless specified otherwise, you must show the details of your work via logical reasoning for each exercise.
Simply writing a final result (whether correct or not) will receive 0 point.

is important in electrical engineering. [The integrand f(t) = (sin t)/t is not defined when t = 0, but we know that its
limit is 1 when t → 0. So we define f(0) = 1 and this makes f a continuous function everywhere.]
(a) (1 pt) Sketch the graph of Si.
(b) (1 pt) At what values of x does this function have local maximum values?
(c) (1 pt) Find the coordinates of the first inflection point to the right of the origin.
(d) (1 pt) Does this function have horizontal asymptotes?
(e) (1 pt) Solve the following equation (for x) correct to one decimal place:
