Solution by Steps
step 2
The second statement states that if f and g are not continuous at a, then f+g is not continuous at a. This is not necessarily true; f and g could have removable discontinuities that cancel each other out
step 3
The third statement suggests that if f has a REMOVABLE discontinuity at a and g has a REMOVABLE discontinuity at a, then f+g has a removable discontinuity at 0. This is false; the discontinuities do not necessarily add up to create a removable discontinuity at 0
step 4
The fourth statement claims that if f has a NON-REMOVABLE discontinuity at a and g has a REMOVABLE discontinuity at a, then f+g has a non-removable discontinuity at a. This is true because the non-removable discontinuity of f dominates
step 5
The fifth statement states that if limx→af(x)=1 and limx→1g(x)=2, then limx→ag(f(x))=2. This is true because f(x) approaches 1, and thus g(f(x)) approaches g(1)=2
step 6
The sixth statement claims that if limx→af(x) exists, then limx→aef(x) exists. This is true because the exponential function is continuous everywhere
[question number] Answer
A, D, E, F
Key Concept
Discontinuities and Limits
Explanation
Understanding the types of discontinuities (removable vs. non-removable) and their effects on limits and continuity is crucial in calculus.
Solution by Steps
step 1
We start with the limit we want to compute: limx→0xf(4x)
step 2
We can rewrite this limit using the hint provided: limx→0xf(4x)=limx→04xf(4x)⋅4
step 3
From the problem, we know that limx→0xf(x)=3. Therefore, we can substitute 4x for x in this limit: limx→04xf(4x)=3
step 4
Thus, we have limx→0xf(4x)=3⋅4=12
Answer
12
Key Concept
Limits and continuity in functions
Explanation
The limit of a function as it approaches a point can often be simplified by substituting variables, allowing us to find the limit more easily. In this case, we used the known limit of f(x)/x to compute the desired limit.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To solve the equation 2ex+e−x=2 on the interval [−2,2], we first rewrite it as ex+e−x=4
step 2
The equation ex+e−x=4 can be transformed into 2cosh(x)=4, leading to cosh(x)=2
step 3
The solutions to cosh(x)=2 are x=log(2+3) and x=log(2−3). Since log(2−3) is not in the interval [−2,2], we only consider x=log(2+3)
step 4
Therefore, the statement "There is no solution of 2ex+e−x=2 on [−2,2]" is false
Answer
False
Solution by Steps
step 1
Given that f is a continuous function on [0,1] such that 0 < f(x) < 1 for all x∈[0,1], we apply the Intermediate Value Theorem
step 2
Since f(0) > 0 and f(1) < 1 , there must exist some point a∈[0,1] such that f(a)=a by the Intermediate Value Theorem
step 3
Thus, the statement "We can conclude that there exists a point a∈[0,1] such that f(a)=a" is true
Answer
True
Solution by Steps
step 1
The statement claims that if a function f is continuous on [a,b], then there exists a c∈[a,b] such that f(c)=2f(a)+f(b). This is a consequence of the Mean Value Theorem
step 2
Since f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b], the function f must attain all values between f(a) and f(b)
step 3
Therefore, the statement is true as there exists a c such that f(c)=2f(a)+f(b)
Answer
True
Solution by Steps
step 1
The function f(x)=x2−41+x2 has vertical asymptotes at x=−2 and x=2 where the denominator is zero
step 2
To find the maximum on the interval [−3,3], we need to check the endpoints and any critical points within the interval
step 3
Since f(x) is undefined at x=−2 and x=2, we must evaluate the limits as x approaches these points. The function approaches ∞ as x→−2+ and x→2−
step 4
Therefore, the statement "The function f(x)=x2−41+x2 has a maximum on [−3,3]" is false because it is undefined at the critical points
Answer
False
Key Concept
Understanding the properties of continuous functions and limits
Explanation
The answers are derived from applying theorems related to continuity and limits, confirming the truth or falsehood of each statement based on mathematical principles.
