(b)
=

⇒ not continuous.

2. (a)

(b) // to x-axis, dy/dx = 0, ; y = -x

x2 – x2 – 2x2 + 4 = 0; , (Subs y = -x and find x)

,y=- ; , ( find y
and express in coordinates

 ⇒

f(0)= e; f’(0) = ½ e; f ’’(0) = 0; f ‘’’(0) =1/8 e ; f ‘’’’(0) = -5/16 e

substitute all value , k =

6.

From the graphs, two curves intersect at exactly one point for x >0, 1
positive root.
(a)
x2 (x + 2) =2 ⇒ since α is positive root,

since α is positive root, α is the root of

x1 = 1, x2 = =0.816

; ∴ α = 0.84

(b) Let f(x) = x + 2x -2
f ’(x) = 3x2 + 4x
 x1 = 1, x2 = 0.8571 ≃ 0.857, x3 = 0.8395, x4 = 0.8393, x5 = 0.8393, ∴
α = 0.839.
