Question 2:
The following function is not defined at a certain point. How should it be defined
in order to make it continuous at that point?
(a)
sin x
f (x) =
3x
(b)
x4 + 2x2 − 3
f (x) =
x+1
Question 3:

f (x) =
x+7
(b).

Question 4:
Find the equation of the tangent line to the function y = (x2 + 1)−1 at the point
(1, 21 ).
The slope of the tangent line at (1, 21 ) equals the derivative of y with respect to
x at x = 1. Since the derivative is
dy (1)0 (x2 + 1) − (1)(x2 + 1)0 −2x
y 0 (x) = = 2 2
= 2 ,
dx (x + 1) (x + 1)2
we find the slope to be y 0 (1) = − 21 . Therefore the equation for the tangent line is

y − = − (x − 1).
