Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that the graph of functions y=fx and y=gx are given.

We have to modify the graphs of the functions f and g to obtain functions that are continuous on a, b.

Step 2

Continuous of a function:

If a function f is continuous at x=a, then limxafx=fa.

Continuous for the graph y=fx:

At the left endpoint,

The graph y=fx is defined at x=a and limxa+fx=fa.

Thus, the graph y=fx is right continuous at x=a.

At the right endpoint,

The graph y=fx is undefined at x=b and limxb-fx exits.

To make y=fx is left continuous at x=b, we can define fb=limxb-fx.

Answer:

To modify the graph at x=b for fb=limxb-fx, such that the graph y=fx is continuous on the interval a, b.
