Homework Limits (2)

Part I
For each statement that follows, answer true (T) if the statement is always true and false (F)
otherwise.

1. ( ) If f (x) is continuous at x = c, then so is |f (x)|.

2. ( ) If |f (x)| is continuous at x = c, then so is f (x).


p
3. ( ) If f (x) is continuous at x = c, then so is f (x).
p
4. ( ) If f (x) is continuous at x = c, then so is f (x).4

5. ( ) If f and g are discontinuous at x = c, then so is f + g .

6. ( ) If f and g are discontinuous at x = c, then so is f g .

8. Find the values of x (if any) at which f (x) = is not continuous, and determine
x2

whether each such value is a removable discontinuity.
A function f is said to have a removable discontinuity at x = c if lim f (x) exists but f
x!c
is not continuous at x = c, either because f is not defined at c or because the definition
for f (c) di↵ers from the value of the limit.
