Can you do 1b please, thanks

Transcribed Image Text:1.
(a) Use \(\sqrt{x} - \sqrt{y} = \frac{x-y}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}}\) to show that \( f : [0, \infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) with \( f(x) = \sqrt{x} \) is continuous \( x_0 \in (0, \infty) \). Proceed as follows. As \( x_0 \neq 0 \), there exists some positive number \( a \) such that \( x_0 \in (a, \infty) \). Choose \( \delta \) small enough so that \( x \) will lie in \( (a, \infty) \) as well.
Separately, show that \( f \) is continuous at \( x_0 = 0 \).
(b) (Continuity and composition). Suppose \( f : D \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) and \( g : E \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) with \( \text{im} \, f \subseteq E \). Assume that \( f \) is continuous at \( x_0 \in D \) and \( g \) is continuous at \( f(x_0) \in E \). Then the composition \( g \circ f : D \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is continuous at \( x_0 \).
