Solution: (1) y = 3+2cosx;
For any given x, there is M=5, so y = 3+2cosx.
For any given x, there is N= 1, so y = 3+2cosx >: = 1 is a constant, so y = 3+2cosx has a lower bound.
To sum up, y=3+2cosx is bounded!
(2)y=2x^2+ 1;
For any large real number M> 1/2, x0=M exists.
So y = 2× 0 2+1-m = m (2m-1)+1> 0.
That is to say, for any large real number m, x0 exists, making y >: M, so there is no upper bound for y.
For any x, there is M= 1, so y = 2x 2+ 1 >: =M, so y has a lower bound.
Functions with upper and lower bounds are unbounded functions, so y = 2x 2+ 1 is unbounded.
(3)y = 1+arctanx;
unbounded function
(4) y=3sin2x-5cos3x
bounded function
Brother, I'll tell you how. In fact, it is similar to the truth of high school maximum. The function has a maximum value and a minimum value (infinitely close to a certain value) in the definition domain, which is bounded!
University studies pay attention to format specification, in fact, the method is still used in high school!
