2 . In each of the following, if the given statement is true for all functions f that are defined on
the entire real line, then mark the  to the left of True with a 7 ; otherwise, mark the  to
the left of False with a 7 and give a counterexample. No explanation is required.
a . If f is continuous on (−∞, ∞), then f ′ (π) exists.

 True
 False , because it does not hold for f (x) =

b . If f (−1) = −1 and f (1) = 1, then f (c) = 0 for some c in (−1, 1).

 True
 False , because it does not hold for f (x) =

c . If f ′′ (x) = −f (x) for all x, then f (x) = sin x or f (x) = cos x .

 True
 False , because it does not hold for f (x) =

d . If f is differentiable on (−∞, ∞), then f ′ (π) exists.

 True
 False , because it does not hold for f (x) =

e . If lim |f (x)| = 1 , then lim f (x) = 1 or lim f (x) = −1 .


x→0 x→0 x→0

 True
 False , because it does not hold for f (x) =

3 . Suppose that f is a twice-differentiable function satisfying the following conditions:

• y = x/2 + 1 is an equation for the tangent line to the graph of y = f (x) at the point with
x = 4.

• y = x/4 − 3 is an equation for the tangent line to the graph of y = f (x) at the point with
x = 8.

• y = −x/3 + 2 is an equation for the tangent line to the graph of y = f (x) at the point
with x = 12 .
