75. The function g(x) is also one-to-one. The reasoning: f(x) is one-to-one means that if x1 x2 then f ( x1 ) f ( x2 ), so f ( x1 ) f ( x2 ) and therefore g ( x1 ) g ( x2 ). Therefore g(x) is one-to-one as well. 76. The function h(x) is also one-to-one. The reasoning: f(x) is one-to-one means that if x1 x2 then f ( x1 ) f ( x2 ), so f (1x ) f (1x ) , and therefore h( x1 ) h( x2 ). 1

77. The composition is one-to-one also. The reasoning: If x1 x2 then g ( x1 ) g ( x2 ) because g is one-to-one. Since g ( x1 ) g ( x2 ), we also have f ( g ( x1 )) f ( g ( x2 )) because f is one-to-one; thus, f g is one-to-one because x1 x2 f ( g ( x1 )) f ( g ( x2 )).

78. Yes, g must be one-to-one. If g were not one-to-one, there would exist numbers x1 x2 in the domain of g with g ( x1 ) g ( x2 ). For these numbers we would also have f ( g ( x1 )) f ( g ( x2 )), contradicting the assumption that f g is one-to-one. 79. (a)

1. There are (infinitely) many such function pairs. For example, f ( x) 3 x and g ( x) 4 x satisfy f ( g ( x)) f (4 x) 3(4 x) 12 x 4(3x) g (3x) g ( f ( x)). 2. Yes, there are many such function pairs. For example, if g ( x) (2 x 3)3 and f ( x) x1/3 , then ( f g )( x) f ( g ( x)) f ((2 x 3)3 ) ((2 x 3)3 )1/3 2 x 3.
3. If f is odd and defined at x, then f ( x) f ( x). Thus g ( x) f ( x) 2 f ( x) 2 whereas g ( x) ( f ( x) 2) f ( x) 2. Then g cannot be odd because g ( x) g ( x) f ( x) 2 f ( x) 2 4 0, which is a contradiction. Also, g ( x) is not even unless f ( x) 0 for all x. On the other hand, if f is even, then g ( x) f ( x) 2 is also even: g ( x) f ( x) 2 f ( x) 2 g ( x). 4. If g is odd and g(0) is defined, then g (0) g ( 0) g (0). Therefore, 2 g (0) 0 g (0) 0 . 5.

In the 4th quadrant, | x | | y | x 1 x ( y ) x 1 y 1. The graph is given at the right. 6. We use reasoning similar to Exercise 5. (1) 1st quadrant: y | y | x | x | 2 y 2 x y x.

12. (a) As suggested, let E ( x)
even and an odd function. (b) Part (a) shows that f ( x) E ( x) O( x) is the sum of an even and an odd function. If also f ( x) E1 ( x) O1 ( x), where E1 is even and O1 is odd, then f ( x) f ( x) 0 ( E1 ( x) O1 ( x)) ( E ( x) O( x)) . Thus, E ( x) E1 ( x) O1 ( x) O( x) for all x in the domain of f (which is the same as the domain of E E1 and O O1 ). Now ( E E1 )( x) E ( x) E1 ( x) E ( x) E1 ( x) (since E and E1 are even) ( E E1 )( x) E E1 is even. Likewise, (O1 O)( x) O1 ( x ) O( x ) O1 ( x) (O( x)) (since O and O1 are odd) (O1 ( x) O( x)) (O1 O) ( x) O1 O is odd. Therefore, E E1 and O1 O are both even and odd so they must be zero at each x in the domain of f by Exercise 11. That is, E1 E and O1 O, so the decomposition of f found in part (a) is unique. 13.

14. (a) If a 0, the graph rises to the right of the vertical line x b and falls to the left. If a < 0, the graph falls to the right of the line x b and rises to the left. If a 0 , the graph reduces to the horizontal line y c. As | a | increases, the slope at any given point x x0 increases in magnitude and the graph becomes steeper.

7. Nothing can be said about f ( x) because the existence of a limit as x x0 does not depend on how the function is defined at x0 . In order for a limit to exist, f ( x) must be arbitrarily close to a single real number L when x is close enough to x0 . That is, the existence of a limit depends on the values of f ( x) for x near x0 , not on the definition of f ( x) at x0 itself. Copyright 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

10. No, because the existence of a limit depends on the values of f ( x) when x is near 1, not on f (1) itself. If lim f ( x) exists, its value may be some number other than f (1) 5. We can conclude nothing about lim f ( x), x 1

limit( f (x), x x 0 );
In Exercise 87, note that the standard cube root, x^(1/3), is not defined for x<0 in many CASs. This can be overcome in Maple by entering the function as f : x - (surd(x 1, 3) 1)/x.

As another example, let g ( x) sin 1x , L 12 , and x0 0. We can choose infinitely many values of x near 0 such that sin 1x 12 as you can see from the accompanying figure. However, lim sin 1x fails to exist. The wrong x 0
statement does not require all values of x arbitrarily close to x0 0 to lie within 0 of L 12 . Again you can see from the figure that there are also infinitely many values of x near 0 such that sin 1x 0. If we choose 14
we cannot satisfy the inequality sin 1x 12 for all values of x sufficiently near x0 0.

58. The function can be extended: f (0) 7.39.
59. f ( x) is continuous on [0, 1] and f (0) 0, f (1) 0 by the Intermediate Value Theorem f ( x) takes on every value between f (0) and f (1) the equation f ( x) 0 has at least one solution between x 0 and x 1.
60. cos x x (cos x) x 0. If x 2 , cos 2 2 0. If x 2 , cos 2 2 0. Thus cos x x 0 for some x between 2 and 2 according to the Intermediate Value Theorem, since the function cos x x is continuous.
61. Let f ( x) x3 15 x 1, which is continuous on [4, 4]. Then f (4) 3, f (1) 15, f (1) 13, and f (4) 5. By the Intermediate Value Theorem, f ( x) 0 for some x in each of the intervals 4 x 1, 1 x 1, and 1 x 4. That is, x3 15 x 1 0 has three solutions in [4, 4]. Since a polynomial of degree 3 can have at most 3 solutions, these are the only solutions. 62. Without loss of generality, assume that a b. Then F ( x) ( x a )2 ( x b)2 x is continuous for all values of x, so it is continuous on the interval [ a, b]. Moreover F ( a ) a and F (b) b. By the Intermediate Value Theorem, since a a 2 b b, there is a number c between a and b such that F ( x) a 2 b . 63. Answers may vary. Note that f is continuous for every value of x.

All five statements ask for the same information because of the intermediate value property of continuous functions. (a) A root of f ( x) x3 3 x 1 is a point c where f (c) 0. (b) The point where y x3 crosses y 3 x 1 have the same y-coordinate, or y x3 3 x 1 f ( x) x3 3 x 1 0. (c) x3 3x 1 x3 3 x 1 0. The solutions to the equation are the roots of f ( x ) x3 3 x 1.

Chapter 2 Limits and Continuity (d) The points where y x3 3 x crosses y 1 have common y-coordinates, or y x3 3 x 1 f ( x) x3 3 x 1 0. (e) The solutions of x3 3x 1 0 are those points where f ( x) x3 3 x 1 has value 0. sin( x 2)
65. Answers may vary. For example, f ( x) x 2 is discontinuous at x 2 because it is not defined there. However, the discontinuity can be removed because f has a limit (namely 1) as x 2. 66. Answers may vary. For example, g ( x) x11 has a discontinuity at x 1 because lim g ( x) does not exist. x 1
lim g ( x) and lim g ( x) . x 1 x 1
67. (a) Suppose x0 is rational f ( x0 ) 1. Choose 12 . For any 0 there is an irrational number x (actually infinitely many) in the interval ( x0 , x0 ) f ( x) 0. Then 0 |x x0 | but | f ( x) f ( x0 )| 1 12 , so lim f ( x) fails to exist f is discontinuous at x0 rational. x x0
On the other hand, x0 irrational f ( x0 ) 0 and there is a rational number x in ( x0 , x0 ) f ( x) 1. Again lim f ( x) fails to exist f is discontinuous at x0 irrational. That is, f is discontinuous at every point. x x0
(b) f is neither right-continuous nor left-continuous at any point x0 because in every interval ( x0 , x0 ) or ( x0 , x0 ) there exist both rational and irrational real numbers. Thus neither limits lim f ( x) and x x0
lim f ( x) exist by the same arguments used in part (a).
x x0
f ( x)
68. Yes. Both f ( x) x and g ( x) x 12 are continuous on [0, 1]. However g ( x ) is undefined at x 12 since
f ( x)
g 12 0 g ( x ) is discontinuous at x 12 .
69. No. For instance, if f ( x) 0, g ( x) x , then h( x) 0 x 0 is continuous at x 0 and g ( x) is not. 70. Let f ( x) x11 and g ( x) x 1. Both functions are continuous at x 0. The composition f g f ( g ( x))
1 1 is discontinuous at x 0, since it is not defined there. Theorem 10 requires that f ( x ) be continuous ( x 1) 1 x
at g (0), which is not the case here since g (0) 1 and f is undefined at 1.
71. Yes, because of the Intermediate Value Theorem. If f ( a ) and f (b) did have different signs then f would have to equal zero at some point between a and b since f is continuous on [ a, b]. 72. Let f ( x ) be the new position of point x and let d ( x) f ( x) x. The displacement function d is negative if x is the left-hand point of the rubber band and positive if x is the right-hand point of the rubber band. By the Intermediate Value Theorem, d ( x) 0 for some point in between. That is, f ( x) x for some point x, which is then in its original position. 73. If f (0) 0 or f (1) 1, we are done (i.e., c 0 or c 1 in those cases). Then let f (0) a 0 and f (1) b 1 because 0 f ( x) 1. Define g ( x) f ( x) x g is continuous on [0, 1]. Moreover, g (0) f (0) 0 a 0 and g (1) f (1) 1 b 1 0 by the Intermediate Value Theorem there is a number c in (0, 1) such that g (c) 0 f (c) c 0 or f (c) c. f (c )
74. Let 2 0. Since f is continuous at x c there is a 0 such that x c f ( x) f (c) f (c) f ( x) f (c) . If f (c) 0, then 12 f (c) 12 f (c) f ( x) 23 f (c) f ( x) 0 on the interval (c , c ). Copyright 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

If f (c) 0, then 12 f (c) 23 f (c) f ( x) 12 f (c) f ( x) 0 on the interval (c , c ).
75. By Exercise 52 in Section 2.3, we have lim f ( x ) L lim f (c h ) L. x c
h 0
Thus, f ( x) is continuous at x c lim f ( x) f (c) lim f (c h) f (c). x c
h 0
76. By Exercise 75, it suffices to show that lim sin(c h) sin c and lim cos(c h) cos c. h 0
h 0
Now lim sin(c h) lim (sin c)(cos h) (cos c)(sin h) (sin c) lim cos h (cos c) lim sin h . h 0 h 0 h 0 h 0 By Example 12 Section 2.2, lim cos h 1 and lim sin h 0. So lim sin(c h) sin c and thus f ( x) sin x is h 0
h 0
h 0
continuous at x c. Similarly, lim cos(c h) lim (cos c)(cos h) (sin c)(sin h) h 0
h 0
(cos c) lim cos h (sin c) lim sin h cos c. Thus, g ( x) cos x is continuous at x c. h 0 h 0

We want to know in what interval to hold values of h to make V satisfy the inequality |V 1000| |36 h 1000| 10. To find out, we solve the inequality: 990 h 1010 8.8 h 8.9 |36 h 1000| 10 10 36 h 1000 10 990 36 h 1010 36 36 where 8.8 was rounded up, to be safe, and 8.9 was rounded down, to be safe. The interval in which we should hold h is about 8.9 8.8 0.1 cm wide (1 mm). With stripes 1 mm wide, we can expect to measure a liter of water with an accuracy of 1%, which is more than enough accuracy for cooking. Copyright 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

Chapter 2 Limits and Continuity
17. (a) Let 0 be given. If x is rational, then f ( x) x | f ( x) 0| | x 0| | x 0| ; i.e., choose . Then | x 0| | f ( x) 0| for x rational. If x is irrational, then f ( x) 0 | f ( x) 0| 0 which is true no matter how close irrational x is to 0, so again we can choose . In either case, given 0 there is a 0 such that 0 | x 0| | f ( x) 0| . Therefore, f is continuous at x 0. (b) Choose x c 0. Then within any interval (c , c ) there are both rational and irrational numbers. If c is rational, pick 2c . No matter how small we choose 0 there is an irrational number x in (c , c ) | f ( x) f (c)| |0 c | c 2c . That is, f is not continuous at any rational c 0. On the other hand, suppose c is irrational f (c) 0. Again pick 2c . No matter how small we choose 0 there is a rational number x in (c , c ) with | x c | 2c 2c x 32c . Then | f ( x) f (c)| | x 0| | x | 2c f is not continuous at any irrational c 0. |c|
If x c 0, repeat the argument picking 2 2c . Therefore f fails to be continuous at any nonzero value x c. 18. (a) Let c mn be a rational number in [0, 1] reduced to lowest terms f (c) 1n . Pick 21n . No matter how small 0 is taken, there is an irrational number x in the interval (c , c ) | f ( x) f (c)| 0 1n 1n 21n . Therefore f is discontinuous at x c, a rational number.
(b) Now suppose c is an irrational number f (c) 0. Let 0 be given. Notice that 12 is the only rational number reduced to lowest terms with denominator 2 and belonging to [0, 1]; 13 and 23 the only rationals with denominator 3 belonging to [0, 1]; 14 and 34 with denominator 4 in [0, 1]; 15 , 52 , 53 and 54 with denominator 5 in [0, 1]; etc. In general, choose N so that N1 there exist only finitely many rationals in [0, 1] having
denominator N , say r1 , r2 , , rp . Let min {| c ri |: i 1, , p}. Then the interval (c , c ) contains no rational numbers with denominator N . Thus, 0 | x c | | f ( x) f (c)| | f ( x ) 0| | f ( x)| N1 f is continuous at x c irrational. (c) The graph looks like the markings on a typical ruler when the points ( x, f ( x)) on the graph of f ( x ) are connected to the x-axis with vertical lines.
19. Yes. Let R be the radius of the equator (earth) and suppose at a fixed instant of time we label noon as the zero point, 0, on the equator 0 R represents the midnight point (at the same exact time). Suppose x1 is a point on the equator “just after” noon x1 R is simultaneously “just after” midnight. It seems reasonable that the temperature T at a point just after noon is hotter than it would be at the diametrically opposite point just after midnight: That is, T ( x1 ) T ( x1 R) 0. At exactly the same moment in time pick x2 to be a point just before midnight x2 R is just before noon. Then T ( x2 ) T ( x2 R ) 0. Assuming the temperature function T is continuous along the equator (which is reasonable), the Intermediate Value Theorem says there is a point c Copyright 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

Thus there is some number c in [ , 0] such that f (c) 0; i.e., c is a solution to x 2 cos x 0. 23. (a) The function f is bounded on D if f ( x) M and f ( x) N for all x in D.

27. Note that as x increases, the slope of the tangent line to the curve is first negative, then zero (when x 0), then positive the slope is always increasing which matches (b). 28. Note that the slope of the tangent line is never negative. For x negative, f 2 ( x) is positive but decreasing as x increases. When x 0, the slope of the tangent line to x is 0. For x 0, f 2 ( x) is positive and increasing. This graph matches (a). 29. f3 ( x) is an oscillating function like the cosine. Everywhere that the graph of f3 has a horizontal tangent line we expect f3 to be zero, and (d) matches this condition. 30. The graph matches with (c).
