(1) Find a counter example to the following statement:
f (x)
(1.1) If limx→a f (x) = 0 and limx→a g(x) = 0, then limx→a does not exist.
g(x)
(1.2) If limx→a f (x)g(x) exists, then limx→a f (x)g(x) = f (a)g(a).
(2)
(2.1) Draw the graph of f (x) = x + 2.
x2 − 4
(2.2) Draw the graph of f (x) = .

Show that if f is continuous at a, then |f | is continuous at a.
tasks:
1. Check that |f (a)| is defined,
2. Check that limx→a |f (x)| exists,
3. Check that limx→a |f (x)| = |f (a)|

Let f (x) = .

(1) Show that f (x) = 0 has at least one solution.
(2) Show that f (x) = 0 has at least two solutions.
Suppose f (x) is a continuous function on [−5, 5], f (−5) < (−5)3 , and f (5) > 53 .
Show that there exists some number c in the open interval (−5, 5) such that f (c) = c3 .
Hint: Consider the function g(x) = f (x) − x3 and use the Intermediate value theorem.
