Please do exercise 3.2.10 with detailed explanations

Transcribed Image Text:• Exercise 3.2.10 in Section 3.2: Let f: R → R and g: R → R be continuous functions. Suppose that f(r) = g(r)
for every rational number r. Prove that f(x) = g(x) for every real number î.
• Exercise 3.3.3 in Section 3.3: Suppose ƒ: (0, 1) → R is a continuous function such that the limits lim f(x) and
x →0
lim f(x) both exist and equal 0. Prove that f attains an absolute minimum or an absolute maximum on the
x→1
interval (0, 1).
As usual, "or" is inclusive: there might be a minimum but no maximum, a maximum but no minimum, or both a
minimum and a maximum.
Remarks
The point of Exercise 3.2.10 is that a continuous function on R is completely determined by the values on a suitable
countable subset of the domain, namely, a countable dense subset. (More generally, a topological space is called
separable when there exists a countable dense subset.)
In Exercise 3.3.3, you could also write the indicated limits as the one-sided limits lim f(x) and lim f(x). By the
x→1
x →0+
author's definition of limit, however, the variable x is automatically restricted to the declared domain of the function,
so the decorations + and are optional here.
