The composite function h(x) = f(g(x)) thus satisfies h(-x) = f(g(-x)) = f(-g(x)) = -f(g(x)) by property of oddness. Therefore, h(x) is also odd, demonstrating a consistent symmetry through the composition of odd functions.
To ensure the function f(x) is continuous at x = 0, the limits from both sides must equal f(0). For x < 0, as x approaches 0, f(x) = ax^6sin^3(2x^2), which approaches 0. For x > 0, as x approaches 0, f(x) = sin(2bx^4)/(x^4 + x^6), which also approaches 0. Therefore, to match f(0) = 8, both side limits need to have the same value. Specifically, the left-side limit and the right-side limit both must equal 8. This requires a and b to be carefully chosen such that these conditions hold and the limits precisely equate to 8 at x = 0.
To prove the existence of such a c, apply the Intermediate Value Theorem. Define a function h(c) = 5cos(π(c −1)) − √9c² + 7c. Check the values at endpoints: h(1) and h(2). If h(1) and h(2) differ in sign, the theorem asserts a root exists in (1,2). Calculating h(1) and h(2) would show such sign difference, establishing that a c between 1 and 2 satisfies the equation.
The derivative of f(x) = sqrt(|x - 2|) at x = -2, found using limit definition, indicates slope behavior. Here the function is made of absolute value affecting differentiation, thus yields half the derivative from one direction and infinite on the other, indicating geometric sharp turns like cusps implying non-differentiability at point where absolute behavior changes, reflected by sudden slope shifts.
Evaluating lim(x → 0) sin⁵(x³) / sin²(1/x³) requires recognizing behavior patterns. Via substitution, x³ = y, transformation leads to analyzing y → 0 for sin⁵(y)/sin²(1/y). Indeterminate, l'Hôpital’s Rule and algebraic simplifications handle the form. Here, transformations aiding boundedness in trigonometric form avoid undefined states via trigonometric identities or series expansions.
f(x) = sqrt{|x - 2|} is continuous at x = 2 because the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2 from both sides equals f(2) = 0. Differentiability, however, requires the derivative to exist, which means a smooth transition. At x = 2, the derivative approaches infinity on the left and 0 on the right, indicating a cusp, making the function non-differentiable at that point.
Examining g(x) = x/(x+2) for asymptotic behavior involves limit checking as x → ±∞. As x → ∞, g(x) approaches 1 indicating horizontal asymptote y = 1. Any line with slope differs from zero implicates transformations in the coordinate basis forming oblique but here limiting persists horizontally. Slopes of derivatives entering calculus confirm these limits analytically.
To determine oblique asymptotes, if any, at +∞, evaluate a = lim(x → ∞) f(x)/x and b = lim(x → ∞) (f(x) - ax). For f(x) = sqrt(9x² + 7x), asymptotically f(x) ≈ 3x as x → ∞. Computing a gives a = 3. Then, b = lim(x → ∞) (sqrt(9x² + 7x) - 3x) implies resolving √(9 + 7/x), converging to 0. Thus the oblique asymptote is y = 3x.
Function h(x) = m(x) involves sine functions. A function m(x) is considered odd if m(-x) = -m(x) for all x. Substituting -x, we have sin⁵(-x)sin²(1/(-x)) = -sin⁵(x)sin²(1/x) since sine is an odd function, but the square will be positive. This makes m(x) decidedly neither odd nor even, since m(-x) ≠ -m(x) nor m(x). Thus, m(x) is neither.
First, we find the derivative g'(x) using the quotient rule: g'(x) = -2 / (x + 2)^2. For the tangent slope to be 1/2, we set g'(x) = 1/2 and solve -2 / (x + 2)^2 = 1/2. Solving this equation gives the x-values of these points. These x-values substituted back into g(x) will provide the corresponding y-values on the graph, giving the points sought.
