MULTIPLE CHOICE: Write the letter corresponding to the BEST answer. If NO correct answer is given write NA. Use CAPITAL LETTERS only. ( 2 points each) 1. Find the domain of the function dened by f (x) = 9 x2 (a) [3, 3] (b) (3, 3) (c) [0, 3] (d) [3, )U (, 3] 2. The range of the function f (x) = x2 9 is (a) [3, ) (b) (, 3] (c) [9, ) (d)(, ) 3. Which of the following is an even function? (a) f (x) = x2 + x 2 (b) f (x) = x4 x2 (c) f (x) = [|x|] (d) f (x) = x3 x

4. The UP campus during regular semester has a population of 500. Suppose the rate of growth of an epidemic inside the campus is jointly proportional to the number of people infected and the number of people not infected. When 100 people are infected, the epidemic is growing at a rate of 9 people per day. The mathematical model expressing the rate of growth of the epidemic as a function of the number of people infected is
9 (a) f (x) = 490,000 (x)(5000 x) 9 (c) f (x) = 40,000 (x)(500 x) 9 (b) f (x) = 40,000 (x)(5000 x) 9 (d) f (x) = 49,000 (x)(500 x)

5. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? (a) sin = 0 (c) sum of two polynomial function is always continuous 6. Determine the limit of f (x) = 3x+4 as x approaches 2 8x1 (a) 15 (b) 15/10 (c) 10/15 (d) 2/3
x1 7. Determine limx1 x1 (a) (b) 0 (c) 1/2 3

(b) rational function is continuous in its domain 1 (d) limx0 x =

(d) 1/3

8. Let f (x) =

1 if x < 0 Which of the following is TRUE? 1 if x > 0 (a) limx0 f (x) exists (b) limx0 |f (x)| exists (c) limx0 f (x) = limx0 |f (x)|

(d)none of the above

9. limx3 [|x|]x is 3x (a) 0 (b) 1 (c) (d) 10. Find k such that the function f (x) = (a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4 kx x2 + k if x 2 is continuous at x=2. if x > 2

II. Fill in the blanks.Write the correct answer in your blue book. ( 2 points each) 1. The limx4
2 x2 +3x4

3 x+4

is ?
x4 x4

2. The interval (or union of intervals) on which the function f (x) = 3. If f (x) =
sin3 x x2 ,

is continuous?

what does f(x) appear to be approaching as x approaches 0? What property did you use?

4. The limx0 |x| is ? x 5. Situtation: The cost of a local cellphone call from smart to globe during peak hours is 7 pesos for the rst minute and 6.50 pesos for each additional minute or a fractional part thereof. Let x be the time in minutes and P(x) the cost. What is the function as a mathematical model of the given situation? III. PROBLEM SOLVING: Write the complete and neat solution(justify your answer). ( 7 points) 1. Sketch the graph of the function; by observing where there are breaks in the graph, determine the values of x at which the function is discontinuous and show what property (in the denition of continuity at a point) is not satised. If discontinuous at a given value of a, determine if discontinuity is removable or essential. If removable, how would you 2x 3 if x < 2 remove the discontinuity? f (x) = x 5 if 2 x 1 3x if x > 1 End of Exam
