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

  3.   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
    Hint

  4.   Determine the intervals on which the function f(x) = x3 + x2 + x is increasing and the intervals on which the function is decreasing.
    A. increasing for x < 0 and x > 0
    B. increasing for all x
    C. increasing for x < 0 and decreasing for x > 0
    D. decreasing for all x
    Hint

  5.   Determine the intervals on which the function f(x) = is increasing and the intervals on which the function is decreasing.
    A. increasing for x < -1 and x > -1
    B. increasing for x < -1 and decreasing for x > -1
    C. decreasing for x < -1 and increasing for x > -1
    D. increasing for all x
