What does the following notation mean?
Lim f(x) = 5
x->2
As x approaches 2, f(x) approaches 5
f(x) = 1) 1x , x < 4 or x = 4
2) 17 - x2 , x > 4
Continuous at x = 4? Why or why not?
yes, f(4) = 1 and
lim f(x) = f(4)
x->4
What value must k be so that f(x) is continuous at x = -2.
Lim (x2-4) / (x+2)
x->-2
k = -4
If f(x) = 3x2-10x+2 , [a,b] = [-1,3], k=1
Determine if the intermediate value theorem holds for the given value of k.
Either IVT applies because k exists between [ , ]
or IVT does not apply because k doesnt exist between [ , ]
IVT applies because k exists between (-1,15)
