1. |
Determine whether the function f(x) = 2x2 - x + 2 is continuous at x = 2. |
| |
|
A. |
Yes, because the function is defined at x = 2. |
B. |
Yes, because the function approaches the same y-value 8 on the left and right sides of x = 2. |
| |
|
C. |
Yes, because the function is defined at x = 2 and approaches y = 8 on the left and right sides of x = 2. |
D. |
None of these are correct. |
| |
|
Hint |
|
| |
2. |
Determine whether the function f(x) = is continuous at x = 1. |
| |
|
A. |
Yes, the inability to divide by 0 has no bearing on this problem. |
B. |
Yes, it is continuous at x = 1, but not at x = -1. |
| |
|
C. |
No, because substituting x = 1 results in a denominator of 0. |
D. |
None is correct. |
| |
|
Hint |
|
| |
3. |
Determine the interval(s) on which the function f(x) = 2|x + 1| + 3 is increasing and the interval(s) on which the function is decreasing. |
| |
|
A. |
The function is increasing for x > 2, and the function is decreasing for x < 2. |
| |
|
B. |
The function is decreasing for x > 0, and the function is increasing for x < 0. |
| |
|
C. |
The function is increasing for x > -1, and the function is decreasing for x < -1. |
| |
|
D. |
The function is increasing for x > 3, and the function is decreasing for x < 3. |
| |
|
Hint |
|
| |
4. |
Determine the type of discontinuity this function exhibits.
 |
| |
|
A. |
jump discontinuity |
B. |
point discontinuity |
| |
|
C. |
none of these |
D. |
infinite discontinuity |
| |
|
Hint |

5. |
Describe the end behavior of the function: f(x) = x4 - x3 + x2 + x - 1 |
| |
|
A. |
f(x) as x , f(x) as x  |
| |
|
B. |
f(x) as x , f(x) as x  |
| |
|
C. |
f(x) as x , f(x) as x  |
| |
|
D. |
f(x) as x , f(x) as x  |
