‘The tangent function is not defined at x= /2 so it cannot be continuous for all real
numbers. Option E is the only one that includes item III. In fact, the functions in I and II are a
power and an exponential function that are known to be continuous for all real numbers x.

The function is continuous at x= 3 since lim f(x)= lim f(z) =9= f@). Also, the
x x
derivative as you approach x =3 from the left is 6 and the derivative as you approach x = 3
from the right is also 6. These two facts imply that f is differentiable at x = 3. The function
is clearly continuous and differentiable at all other values of x. 41.
