1. Continuity at \( x = 1 \): \[ f(1^-) = \lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = (1)^2 + 1 = 2, \] \[ f(1^+) = \lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x) = 3 - 1 = 2. \] Thus, \( f(1^-) = f(1^+) = f(1) = 2 \), so \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 1 \).
2. Differentiability at \( x = 1 \): Find the left-hand derivative: \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} (x^2 + 1) = 2x, \quad f'(1^-) = 2(1) = 2. \] Find the right-hand derivative: \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} (3 - x) = -1, \quad f'(1^+) = -1. \] Since \( f'(1^-) \neq f'(1^+) \), the function is not differentiable at \( x = 1 \).
Final Answer: \( \boxed{ {Not differentiable at } x = 1} \)
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as
R = {(a, b): a ≤ b2 } is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as
R = {(a, b): b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
A bacteria sample of a certain number of bacteria is observed to grow exponentially in a given amount of time. Using the exponential growth model, the rate of growth of this sample of bacteria is calculated. The differential equation representing the growth is:
\[ \frac{dP}{dt} = kP, \] where \( P \) is the bacterial population.
Based on this, answer the following:
