Directions:
1. No books, notes or teaching with shoes on. You may use a calculator to
do routine arithmetic computations. You may not use your calculator
to store notes or formulas. You may not share a calculator with anyone.
2. You should show your work and explain how you arrived at your an-
swers. A correct answer with no work shown (except on problems
which are completely trivial) will receive no credit. If you are not sure
whether you have written enough, please ask.
3. You may not make more than one attempt at a problem. If you make
several attempts, you must indicate which one you want counted, or
you will be penalized.
4. You may leave as soon as you are finished, but once you leave the exam,
you may not make any changes to your exam.
5. This test has 5 problems.

5. (20 points) Indicate whether the following statements are true or false
by circling the appropriate letter. A statement which is sometimes true
and sometimes false should be marked false.
a) |x + 1| T F
If f (x) = x + 1 then f (x) = 0 for −2 < x < 1
If f (x) is continuous on [0, 2] and f (0) = 2 and
b) T F
f (2) = 5 Then f (x) 6= 0 on (0, 2).
c) If f (c) is not defined, then f (c) is not continuous T F
at x = c
If lim f (x) does not exist, then f (x) is not contin-
d) x→c T F
uous at x = c.
If f (x) and g(x) are continuous everywhere, then
e) f (x) T F
h(x) = is continuous everywhere.
