This document contains 22 problems related to concepts in real analysis such as continuity, limits, and uniformly continuous functions. The problems cover topics like checking the continuity of various functions, proving limits, properties of continuous functions, and determining whether sequences are Cauchy sequences. They ask the reader to prove statements about functions, find examples of certain types of functions, and determine intervals where functions are or aren't uniformly continuous.

1. Check the ( left / right) continuity of the following functions:


(a) f (x) = b x5 c, x R.
(b) f (x) = x2 if x Q and f (x) = x if x 6 Q.
(c) f (x) = x if x Q and f (x) = 1 x if x 6 Q.

(d) f (x) = e x for x 6= 0.


2. Let f (x) = 0 if x 6= 0 and f (0) = 1. Prove that lim f (x) = 0 but there exists a sequence {xn }

3. Find ( if it exists) lim f (x), lim g(y) and lim g(f (x)) for the following functions f : R R.

(a) f (x) = 2; g(y) = 3 if y 6= 2, g(2) = 0


(b) f (x) = 2 if x Q and f (x) = 2x if x 6 Q; g as in (a).
4. Prove that if f (x) q as x p and g(y) r as y q, and if f (x) 6= q for some x in a

continuous.
19. Suppose that f : R R is continuous and periodic ( that is, f (x + p) = f (x), x R for some
p R). Then prove that f is both bounded and uniformly continuous.
