This document contains instructions for a mathematics examination covering various calculus topics: 1. The first question asks students to show that a given sequence is Cauchy and find the limit of another sequence. 2. The second question involves finding the Maclaurin series expansion of a function and showing another function is strictly increasing. 3. The third question covers limits of series, including showing the limit of terms goes to zero and that the square of a convergent series converges. 4. The fourth question states Lagrange's mean value theorem and uses it to prove Rolle's theorem, and asks about applying Rolle's theorem to a piecewise function. 5. The remaining questions cover
