Definition 4.2.3 If f and g are functions defined on A⊆R to R, then their sum, difference and product are defined by:

(f + g)(x) := f(x) + g(x), (f − g)(x) := f(x) − g(x) and (fg)(x) := f(x)g(x), respectively, if g(x) ̸= 0 for all x ∈ A, their quotient is defined by f(x)/g(x):=f/g(x) and the multiple of f by b∈R is defined by (bf)(x) := bf(x), for all x ∈ A.

Theorem 4.2.9 Let A ⊆ R, f : A → R and let c ∈ R be a cluster point of A. If lim x→c f(x) > 0, then there exists If lim x→c f(x) < 0, then there exists

Recall: Definition 4.1.4 Let A be a subset of R, f : A → R a function and c a cluster point of A. If L ∈ R, then L is a limit of f at c if for every > 0 there exists a δ > 0 such that if x ∈ A and 0 < |x − c| < δ, then |f(x) − L| < e Hence: if c ∈ A is a cluster point of A, then f is continuous at c if and only if

lim x→c f(x) = f(c), and if c ∈ A is not a cluster point of A, then f is automatically continuous at c.

If f : A → R and c is a cluster point of A, then f has at most

one limit at c.

Theorem 5.2.6 Let A, B ⊆ R and let f : A → R and g : B → R be functions such that f(A) ⊆ B. If f is continuous at c ∈ A and g is continuous at b = f(c) ∈ B, then

Theorem 3.5.8 Every contractive sequence is Cauchy and

therefore convergent

Theorem 5.2.4 Let A⊆R, f :A→R, c∈A and define |f| by |f|(x) := |f(x)| for x ∈ A. If f is continuous at c (resp., on A), then

|f| is continuous at c (resp., on A). (This follows from Exercise 4.2.14.)
