21–26 Sketch a possible graph for a function f with the specified properties. (Many different solutions are
possible.) ■
21. (i) the domain of f is [−1, 1]
(ii) f (1) f (0) f (1) 0
(iii) limx 1 f x limx 0 f x limx 1 f x 1
Solution:
The graph is plotted at every point on the required domain and nowhere else. The value of the function is
zero at x=−1, x=0, and x=1.
The limits are also correct as specified.
22. (i) the domain of f is [−2, 1]
(ii) f (2) f (0) f (1) 0
(iii) limx 2 f x 2, limx 0 f x 0, and limx1 f x 1
This is one possible graph but answers may vary. Since the limits of f(x) as x approaches -2 and 1 do not
match up with the function values at those points, holes are necessary in order to plot lone points that are
separate from the curve, as shown in the graph to the left.

This is just one possible solution, and your answer may vary. Our domain is clearly from 0 to positive
infinity as our curve goes to the right. We have a point at (1,0). (iii). basically means that the limit of this
function as x approaches 0 from the right side must be either positive or negative infinity. (iv). requires this
function to be negative for 0<x<1 which is indeed the case here.
