Document Summary
Uc merced, fall 2006 (e) consider the logarithmic function f (x) = c ln(kx), where c < 0 and k > 0 are constants. The graph of f (x) is: increasing and concave up, decreasing and concave down, decreasing and concave up, increasing and concave down. Answers: (a) e. (b) b or c. (c) e. (d) c. (e) b: (10 points) consider the piecewise function f (x) de ned below. Can you nd a value for b such that f (x) is continuous at x = 2. If not, explain why. f (x) =(cos(cid:0)(x 1) b, 2(cid:1) x 2 for x 6= 2 for x = 2. Solutions: f (x) is continuous at x = 2 if. = f (2) = lim x 2 f (x) = lim x 2 cos(cid:16)(x 1) Because of the absolute value sign, we need to discuss two one sided limits. lim x 2+ cos(cid:16)(x 1)
