SOLUTION 6: Functions y X

The document discusses two functions, y = x^2 + 3x + 5 and y = x^2 + 3x - 4, which are continuous everywhere since they are polynomials. Their quotient is continuous everywhere except at x=1 and x=-4, where the denominator is 0. So the quotient function is continuous everywhere except those two points.

SOLUTION 6 : Functions y = x2 + 3x + 5 and y = x2 + 3x - 4 are continuous for all

values of x since both are polynomials. Thus, the quotient of these two

functions,   , is continuous for all values of x where the


2
denominator, y = x  + 3x - 4 = (x-1)(x+4) , does NOT equal zero. Since (x-1)(x+4) = 0
for x=1 and x=-4 , function f is continuous for all values of x EXCEPT x=1 and x=-4 .

SOLUTION 7 : First describe function g using functional composition. Let f(x)


= x1/3 ,   , and k(x) = x20 + 5 . Function k is continuous for all values
of x since it is a polynomial, and functions f and h are well-known to be continuous
for all values of x . Thus, the functional compositions

and

are continuous for all values of x . Since

 ,

function g is continuous for all values of x .
