Question
(a) Suppose f: (a, b) → R is continuous. Show that if f(a+) and f(b-) are finite(i.e.
<∞), then f is bounded on (a, b). Argue whether the converse is true.
(b) Assume the following statement:
:
If a function f (a, b) → R is uniformly continuous, then both f(a+) and f(b¯)
are finite.
(This is true. Take as granted. Proof omitted.)
Can we change the term uniformly continuous to continuous in the assumption?
Justify - prove if yes, give a counterexample if no.
