Document Summary

Mat21a - lecture 5 - 2. 5: continuous functions part 1. Intuitively, a continuous function is one which can be graphed without lifting your pencil (high school definition) These are the only reasons why a function might not be continuous: Let"s look at these graphs: y = f (x) y = g (x) Not continuous at 3 because f(x) is not defined at 3. Not continuous at 4 because does not exist (x) lim x 4 g. Not continuous at 5 because (x) = (5) / h h lim x 5 y = h (x) F(x) is continuous at x = c means: (c) f lim x c lim x c exists f (x) (x) f. X is continuous at 5 would not be continuous at -2 because -2 is not in the domain is not a real number) Reasons why f(x) might not be continuous at x = c:

5. (18 pts) Circle True if the statement is ALWAYS true; circle False otherwise. No explanations are required. Let f be a one-to-one function and f its inverse. (a) If the point (2, 5) lies on the graph off, then the point (5,2) lies on the graph of f. True False f (2) = 5 f-1 (5) = 2 (b) sin-1 (T) = 0 True False Since >1, ris not in the domain of sin-?; | or sin-1 (7) #0, since sin (0) = 0 # Iff and g are two functions defined on (-1, 1), and if (c) limg (x) = 0, then it must be true that lim[ f(x) g (x)] = 0. True False Let f (x) = 1 / x, if x #0, and f (0) = 4 and g(x) = x. Then lim g (x) = lim (x) = 0, but Lim ( f (x) g(x)] = lim [() x] = 18 0. Iffis continuous on (-1, 1), and if f (0) = 10 and lim g (x) = 2, (a) True False then lin (= 5. Because lim : (*) - Limx-of (*) .f(0) = 20 = 5 If f is continuous on [1, 3], and if f(1) = 0 and f(3) = 4, then the equation f(x) = (e) has a solution in (1, 3). True False Since f continuous on [1, 3), f(1) = 0 < < 4 = f (3), by the Intermidiate Value Theorem there exists a cin (1, 3) such that f (c) = . (f) Let f be a positive function with vertical asymptote x = 5. Then lim f (x) = +0. True False Let f (x) = 1, if x < 5, and f (x) ==, ifx>5. Then lim f (x) = +00, and therefore, X = 5 is a vertical asymptote. 5 - X So, f is a positive function with vertical asymptote x = 5 but lim f (x) + +co, since lim f (x) = + 0 + lim f (x) = 1, which means that lim f (x) does not exist.

Please I need quick help these questions are due so soon. Thanks
