A student receives a student loan for $8,000 at 5.5 % interest compounded monthly to help her finish the last 1.5 years of college. Starting 1 year after finishing college, the student must amortize the loan in the next 5 years by making equal monthly payments. What will the payments be and what total interest will the student pay?

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
