Exercise 5.1

Find the values of $k$ so that the function $f$ is continuous at the indicated point in Exercise $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{k \cos x}{\pi-2 x}, & \text { if } x \neq \frac{\pi}{2} \\ 3, & \text { if } x=\frac{\pi}{2}\end{array}\right.$ at $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$

Solution: The provided function is $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{k \cos x}{\pi-2 x}, & \text { if } x \neq \frac{\pi}{2} \\ 3, & \text { if } x=\frac{\pi}{2}\end{array}\right.$ $\lim...

For what value of $\lambda$ is the function defined by $f(x)= \begin{cases}\lambda\left(x^{2}-2 x\right), & \text { if } x \leq 0 \\ 4 x+1, & \text { if } x>0\end{cases}$ continuous at $\mathrm{x}=0$ ? What about continuity at $\mathrm{x}=1$ ?

Solution: As at $x=0$, $f(x)$ is continuous . Therefore, Left Hand Limit =$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=f(0)=\lambda\left(x^{2}-2 x\right)=\lambda(0-0)=0$ And Right Hand Limit = $\lim _{x...
