Simple and short true-false tasks regarding Precalculus

$begingroup$


Here are few of the questions from the previous years' exams. I've chosen the ones I'm not sure about. It's a simple TRUE/FALSE task. Would anyone be able to verify my solution? Some of my answers are good, some are just random guess according to my intuition. I don't really need a detailed explanation... Thanks!




  1. Domain of $f'$ is contained within domain of $f$. - TRUE

  2. Boundary point of set A is also a cluster point of that set. - TRUE

  3. Every increasing sequence and bounded above is convergent. - TRUE

  4. Every increasing sequence and bounded below is convergent. - FALSE

  5. Every increasing sequence is always bounded below. - TRUE

  6. Every sequence is discontinuous function. - FALSE

  7. Every sequence is continuous function. - TRUE

  8. Every function integrable on $<a, b>$ is continuous on $<a, b>$. - FALSE

  9. Function $f(x) = ln{|x|}$ is discontinuous at $0$. - TRUE

  10. The continuity is necessary for differentiability. - TRUE

  11. Function $f(x) = frac{x}{|x|}$ is monotonic. - FALSE

    I do not know what is "cluster point" (language problem). For the rest: 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,10 are fine for me. 9 - for me is the function not defined at 0, so it cannot have a property there. 11 - f is monotonic!

    $begingroup$
    For 11: Constant functions are monotonic. Monotonicity is usually distinguished from strict monotonicity. For 9: it is neither continuous nor discontinuous at a point that is not in its domain; it is simply undefined there.

    Monotonic signifies "doesn´t change from increasing to decreasing and vice versa".

    $begingroup$
    @user376343 : Not quite, since constant functions can be regarded as increasing or decreasing anywhere you like (you would need to be more specific). A function $f:Xto Y$ is monotone if $f^{-1}(y)$ is connected (or empty) for each $yin Y$. In the case where $X$ and $Y$ are (subsets of) $mathbb R$, this means $f^{-1}(y)$ is a (possibly degenerate) interval for each $y$ in the image. We confirm this by noting that the image is ${-1,1}$ and the preimages are $f^{-1}(-1)=(-infty,0)$ and $f^{-1}(1)=(0,infty)$ which are both connected.
