whether the function has a removable or nonremovable discontinuity. Give reasons for your answer.

!0-
f(x) = (!01)(!0-)

Zero of numerator: x = 5
Zeros of denomenator: x = 5 and x = 4

f is continuous on (−∞ , 4 ) ∪ ( 4 , 5) ∪ ( 5 , ∞)

Since x = 5 is a zero of both the numerator and the denominator, f has a removable discontinuity at x = 5

Since x = 4 is a zero of denominator but not a zero of numerator,
f has a non removable discontinuity at x = 4

Zero of numerator: x = −2
Zeros of denomenator: x = −2 and x = 1

f is continuous on (−∞ , −2 ) ∪ (−2 , 1) ∪ ( 1 , ∞)

Since x = −2 is a zero of both the numerator and the denominator,
f has a removable discontinuity at x = −2

Since x = 1 is a zero of denominator but not a zero of numerator,
f has a non − removable discontinuity at x = 1

11) Find the value of a that makes the function f(x) continuous on the entire real number line.
(Hint: Use factoring technique when needed)

x, − 4

For f(x) to be continuous at x = 2, lim" f(x) and lim! f(x) must be of equal value.

4) Check the hypotheses of the Mean value theorem for f(x) = cos x on the interval [0, π] rad,
and then find each value c that makes the conclusion of the theorem true.

f(x) = cos x satisfies the hypotheses of the mean value theorem on the interval [0, π] since,
f(x) = cos x is continuous for all real numbers → f(x) is continuous on the closed interval [0, π]

f C (x) = − sin x is defined for all real number → f(x) is differentiable on the open interval (0, π)
