Students have asked these similar questions

A function is defined on the interval (-π/2,π/2) by this multipart rule: if -π/2 < x < 0 f(x) = a if x=0 31-tan x +31-cot x if 0 < x < π/2 Here, a and b are constants. Find a and b so that the function f(x) is continuous at x=0. a= b= 3

Use the definition of continuity and the properties of limits to show that the function is continuous at the given number a. f(x) = (x + 4x4) 5, a = -1 lim f(x) X--1 = lim x+4x X--1 lim X-1 4 x+4x 5 ))" 5 )) by the power law by the sum law lim (x) + lim X--1 4 4x X-1 -(0,00+( Find f(-1). f(-1)=243 lim (x) + -1 +4 35 4 ([ ) lim (x4) 5 x-1 Thus, by the definition of continuity, f is continuous at a = -1. by the multiple constant law by the direct substitution property

4 Use Cramer's rule to solve for x and t in the Lorentz-Einstein equations of special relativity:x^(')=\gamma (x-vt)t^(')=\gamma (t-v(x)/(c^(2)))where \gamma ^(2)(1-(v^(2))/(c^(2)))=1.
