Limits
1.
(Omit for now - will discuss after MidTerm Assessment) Let f(x) be a function such that
·
domain( f) = [0,1).
·
For all x (in [0,1)), 0
£
f(x) < 1.
·
The function f is increasing on [0,1).
Show that there is a number L, 0
£
L
£
1, such that
lim
x
®

-
f(x) = L.
Hint:
Construct a binary expansion for L.
2.
Discuss the continuity of the function described on p. 97 and whose graph is sketched in FIGURE 14.
3.
Prove: If g is continuous at a, g(a)
¹
0, then there is a
d
> 0 for which (a
-
d
,a +
d
) is contained in the domain of [1/g].

6.
If f is continuous at 0, f(0) = 0, g(x) is defined for all x near 0, and |g| is a bounded function, say all you can about
lim
x
