2.9.13, Given continuous functions f, g: X F on a metric space X, prove
the following statements.
(a) If a and b are scalars, then af +bg is continuous.
(b) fg is continuous.
C If g(x) 0 for every x, then 1/g andf/g are continuous.
(d) h(x) = |f(x)| is continuous.
(e) If F = R, then m(x) = min{f (x), g(x)} and M (x) = max{f(x), g(x)}
are continuous.
Hint: Show that m(x) =(f+g-If-gl) and M(r) = (f+g+lf-g).
f) Z; = {x € X : f(x) = 0} is a closed subset of X.
