    Showing piece-wise function continuous

    For this, , The solution is, However, should they not write ##f(x) = \cos x## on ##[\frac{pi}{4}, \infty)## Many thanks!

    I How to evaluate the enclosed area of this implicit curve?

    The implicit curve in question is ##y=\operatorname{arccoth}\left(\sec\left(x\right)+xy\right)##; a portion of the equations graph can be seen below: In particular, I'm interested in the area bound by the curve, the ##x##-axis and the ##y##-axis. As such, we can restrict the domain to ##[0...

    MHB 1.8.4 AP Calculus Exam Integral of piece-wise function

    image due to macros in Overleaf ok I think (a) could just be done by observation by just adding up obvious areas but (b) and (c) are a litte ? sorry had to post this before the lab closes

    I Continuous Functions with Piecewise Functions

    I have been working on this exercise 5 and kind of stuck how to start the problems. I would think to start with a graph, but I feel this is wrong. I am just stuck on a and b.

    Mathematica FindMaximum function in Mathematica

    I recently plotted a piecewise function: Plot[Piecewise[{{1 - Exp[-.002*t], 0 <= t < 120}, {-Exp[-.002*t] + Exp[-.002*(t - 120)], 120 <= t}}], {t, 0, 5000}, PlotRange -> {0, 0.25}] I then defined the function which I am calling q[t_] as follows: q[t_] := Piecewise[{{1 -...

    Finding A Constant To A Piece-Wise Function

    The function is g(x) = (x^2 - a^2)/(x - a) if x doesn't equal a; and the second part is g(x) = 8 when x = a. The question asks for me to find a specific value for a so that the function might be continuous on the entire real line. I know that each part of the piece-wise function needs to...

    Proving piece-wise function is one-to-one?

    f: Z -> Z defined by f(x) = x/2 if x is even, (x-1)/2 if x is odd. Proof: If x is even: x1 = 2k1 x2 = 2k2 Suppose f(x1) = f(x2), then 2k1/2 = 2k2/2 k1 = k2 So if x is even, the function is one to one? Is this an okay proof for the first half of if x is even, then I just do the...

    Proving Differentiability of a Piece-wise Function

    1. Suppose f(x)=0 if x is irrational, and f(x)=x if x is rational. Is f differentiable at x=0? 2. the derivative= lim[h->0] [f(a+h)-f(a)]/h 3. I don't really know how to start, but I do know that between any two real numbers, there exists a rational and irrational number. So I'm...

    Continuity on a piece-wise function

    [SOLVED] Continuity on a piece-wise function Problem: Suppose: f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}x^2, & x\in\mathbb{Q} \\ -x^2, & x\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}\end{array}\right At what points is f continuous? Relevant Questions: This is in a classical analysis course, not a...

    Derivative of Piece-Wise Function

    I am doing my calculus homework and two problems are holding me up. The first says: Using one-sided derivatives, show that the function f(x) = x^3, x_<_1 3x, x>1 does not have a derivative at x=1 Now it is painfully obvious that the function is not continuous at x=1. however, i...

    Solving Piece-wise Functions: y=|x|+x Graph Explained

    I'm doing a review of fuctions, and a nagging question popped up in my mind after completing this problem. After graphing y = |x| + x, express this equation as a piece-wise function with no absolute values. I did graph it; it was simple (following is a sketch without values)...
