Solve Continuous Function Homework: Render Graphic & Proof h: [0,1]→R

In summary, the function h : [0,1) -> \Re, which is continuous and bounded, can be proven to be continuous and bounded using the proof and graphic rendering of the function f(x) = \frac{sin\frac{1}{1-x}}{2-x}. The function f(x) is bounded by 0 ≤ f(x) ≤ \frac{1}{2-x} for all x ∈ [0,1) and is continuous on [0,1) by the definition of continuity. Therefore, h is also bounded and continuous on [0,1).

Homework Statement


Do the graphic rendering (and write the full proof) of the function h : [0,1) -> [tex]\Re[/tex] , which is continuous and bounded but does not reach it's bounds.

2. The attempt at a solution
If h is continuous : exists
lim h(x) = h(x0)
x->xo
If h is bounded:
А ≤ h(x) ≤ В for every x[tex]\in[/tex][0, 1)

I thought that the function f(x) = [tex]\frac{sin\frac{1}{1-x}}{2-x}[/tex]
works but I can't quite do the proof and the graphic rendering which leads me to the point that I'm wrong. Pls help :confused:
f(x) = [tex]\frac{sin\frac{1}{1-x}}{2-x}[/tex] 's graphic rendering :

is this right?!

![enter image description here][1]Proof: Let h(x) = \frac{sin\frac{1}{1-x}}{2-x}. We need to prove that h is bounded and continuous on [0,1). First, we prove that h is bounded. Since 0 ≤ sin(x) ≤ 1 for all x ∈ \Re, we have 0 ≤ sin(\frac{1}{1-x}) ≤ 1 for all x ∈ [0,1). Therefore, 0 ≤ \frac{sin\frac{1}{1-x}}{2-x} ≤ \frac{1}{2-x} for all x ∈ [0,1). Since \frac{1}{2-x} is a continuous function on [0,1), it is bounded on [0,1). Hence, h is bounded on [0,1). Now, we prove that h is continuous on [0,1). We use the definition of continuity. Let x0 ∈ [0,1). For any ε > 0, there exists δ > 0 such that |x - x0| < δ ⇒ |h(x) - h(x0)| < ε. We need to find such a δ. Since 0 ≤ sin(x) ≤ 1 for all x ∈ \Re, we have |sin(x) - sin(x0)| ≤ 1 for all x, x0 ∈ \Re. Therefore, |h(x) - h(x0)| = |\frac{sin\frac{1}{1-x}}{2-x} - \frac{sin\frac{1}{1-x0}}{2-x0}| ≤ |\frac{sin\frac{1}{1-x} - sin\frac{1}{1-x0}}{2-x}| ≤ |\frac{1}{2-x}| < ε if |x - x0| < min{δ, |2-x0|ε}. Therefore, the function h
 

FAQ: Solve Continuous Function Homework: Render Graphic & Proof h: [0,1]→R

What is a continuous function?

A continuous function is a type of mathematical function that has a smooth and unbroken graph. This means that there are no sudden breaks or jumps in the graph and the function can be drawn without lifting the pen from the paper.

What is the domain and range of a continuous function?

The domain of a continuous function is the set of all possible input values, while the range is the set of all possible output values. In this case, the domain is [0,1] and the range is all real numbers (R).

How do you graph a continuous function?

To graph a continuous function, plot points from the domain and connect them with a smooth line. You can also use properties of the function, such as symmetry and intercepts, to help with the graphing process.

What is a proof in mathematics?

A proof is a logical and rigorous argument that shows a statement or theorem is true. It is used to verify the validity of mathematical statements and can involve using definitions, axioms, and previously proven theorems.

How do you prove the continuity of a function?

To prove the continuity of a function, you must show that it satisfies the three conditions of continuity: 1) the function is defined at the point in question, 2) the limit of the function exists at that point, and 3) the limit is equal to the value of the function at that point. In this case, you would need to show that the function h(x) is defined, has a limit, and the limit is equal to h(x) at every point in the interval [0,1].
