Concept explainers
In Exercises 55–58, determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, explain why it is true. If it is false, give an example to show why it is false.
55. If f and g are continuous on [a, b] and either f(x) ≥ g(x) for all x in [a, b] or f(x) ≥ g(x) for all x in [a, b], then the area of the region bounded by the graphs of f and g and the vertical lines x = a and x = b is given by

- Suppose that a function y = f(x) is continuous on I = [a,b] and if the set f(I) = [f(a),f(b)], then y = f(x) is strictly increasing. Is this statement true or false? Why? Please explain with theorems.arrow_forwardHow are the continuous extensions often found?arrow_forwardLet f be continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b). If there exists c in (a, b) such that f′(c) = 0, does it follow that f(a) = f(b)? Explain.arrow_forward
- Take an example from the media source and explain the implications of the central limit theorem and the Law of Large Numbers in your examplearrow_forwardTrue or false? i) If f is continuous on [a, b], then f is uniformly continuous on (a, b).arrow_forwardSketch a continuous function ƒ that is positive over the interval [0, 1) and negative over the interval (1, 2], such that the net area of the region bounded by the graph of ƒ and the x-axis on [0, 2] is zero.arrow_forward
- Determine whether the statement " If f is continuous for all nonzero x and y, and f(0, 0) = 0, then (x, y) lim (0, 0) f(x, y) = 0. ", is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false.arrow_forwardPart C) Use the def of e - g to prove that f(x) is continuous at x=0.arrow_forwarda. Is it possible for a continuous function f on [0,1] to have Lf(P) = 4 and Uf(P) = 3 for some partition P of [0,1]? Explain. b. Let f(0) = 0 and f(x) = 1/x2 for x in (0,1]. Let P be a partition of [0,1]. Would you encounter any difficulty in assigning a number to Lf(P)? How about Uf(P)? Explain.arrow_forward
