Consider the function whose graph is shown below.
graph of the function f

This function is given by

(a) Find a formula for the single variable function .

What is for this function?

Find its limit as :

(b) Based on your work in (a), is the single variable function continuous?

(c) Next, similarly consider .



(d) Based on this work in (a), is the single variable function continuous?

(e) Finally, consider along rays emanating from the origin. Note that these are given by , for some (constant) value of .

Find and simplify on the ray :

(Notice that this means that is a contour of . Be sure you can explain why this is.)

Find and simplify on any ray .

(Again, notice that this means that any ray is a contour of ; be sure you can explain why.)

(f) Is continuous at ?
