1.   Determine whether the function f(x) = 2x2 - x + 2 is continuous at x = 2.
    A. None of these are correct. B. Yes, because the function is defined at x = 2 and approaches y = 8 on the left and right sides of x = 2.
    C. Yes, because the function is defined at x = 2. D. Yes, because the function approaches the same y-value 8 on the left and right sides
of x = 2.
    Hint

  2.   When is the function f(x) =
continuous at x = 2?
    A. not enough information is given B. always
    C. never D. sometimes
    Hint

  3.   Describe the end behavior of f(x) = x2 + 1.
    A. As x , f(x) ,
and as x , f(x) .
    B. As x , f(x) ,
and as x , f(x) .
    C. As x ,f(x) ,
and as x , f(x) .
    D. none of these
    Hint

  4.   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 decreasing for x > 0, and the function is
increasing for x < 0.
    B. The function is increasing for x > 2, and the function is
decreasing for x < 2.
    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

  5.   Determine the type of discontinuity this function exhibits.
    A. infinite discontinuity B. point discontinuity
    C. none of these D. jump discontinuity
