BRIEF ANSWERS FOR TEST 1

  1. T or F?
    1. F. Width is independent of length.
    2. F. For example, the domain of f(x) = root[2](x-2) is [2,infinity) while the domain of f(2*x) is [1,infinity).
    3. F. Choose any discontinuous function f(x), and let g(x) = -f(x). Then f(x) and g(x) are both discontinuous, but f(x)+g(x) = 0 is continuous.
  2. Give the definition.
    1. a = e is the number with the property that the slope of the tangent line to y = log_a(x) is 1 at x = 1.
    2. for every epsilon greater than 0 there exists delta greater than 0 such that [0 less than |x-a| less than delta implies |f(x)-L| less than epsilon]
    3. lim_{x goes to a} f(x) = f(a)
  3. Solve the equation.
    1. x = ln(2)
    2. x = 3/4
  4. Find the inverse.
    1. y = e^3 - 3
    2. y = (3x+1)/(x-2)
  5. Find the limit.
    1. limit = 5/4
    2. limit = -1/(2*root[2](2))
    3. limit does not exist
    4. limit = 1/2
  6. Where is f continuous?
    1. continuous everywhere
    2. continuous everywhere except at x = -2
    3. continuous everywhere except at x = 1, -1
    4. continuous everywhere except at x = n*Pi, n an integer
