Question
Given a general equation for a line: f(x) = y = mx + b, sketch the families of lines for (a)
b = 0; and (b) m = 0.
1.
2.
Sketch the following function:
f (x) =
|x| > a
for some a > 0. Does lim f(x) exist? Is so, what is it? Is f continuous at a?
3.
Consider the following function:
Ах
g(x):
В+х
where A and B are positive constants and g is defined only for positive values of x.
(a) What is the approximate functional form of g(x) near x = 0 (say x « B)?
(b) What is the approximate functional form of g(x) at very large x (say x » B)?
(c) Evaluate g(x = B).
(d) Sketch g(x).
4.
Consider the following function of two variables, h(p,q). If h is defined only for positive
values of p and q, sketch Cartesian axes that will define the domain and range of h.
5.
True or false:
(а)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
log x = In x
log 1 = 0
log (A/B) = log A – log B
-log x = log (1/x)
log (A + B) = log A + log B
