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.
    C. Yes, because the function is defined at x = 2 and approaches y = 8 on the left and right sides of x = 2. D. Yes, because the function approaches the same y-value 8 on the left and right sides
of x = 2.
    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. None is correct.
    C. Yes, it is continuous at x = 1, but not at x = -1. D. No, because substituting
x = 1 results in a denominator of 0.
    Hint

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

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