Exercise 1 Consider the following functions, all of which involve a domain split at $x=0$ and the pasting together of two individually $C^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ functions:

$$f_A(x)\equiv \{\begin{array}{cl}{x}^2& \text{for}0\le x\\ x& \text{otherwise}\end{array}$$

Exercise 3 For the sketched functions below, decide what level of smoothness—$C^0,C^1,C^2,...$— best describes the function. (We make no tricks in the drawings. Where a function looks like it is broken–that is, the function locally has a V-shape or a $\mathrm{\Lambda }$-shape–it is meant to be broken.)

1. What’s the smoothness level of function A(x)? (Hint: A quadratic function has a first derivative that changes with x but a second derivative that is constant for all x.)

Activities

Exercise 4 The left column in Figure 3 shows functions A(), B(), C(), and D(). The right column shows functions dd1(), dd2(), and so on. Find which function (if any) in the right column corresponds to the 2nd derivative of a function in the left column.

Remember the concepts of “concave up” (a smile!) and “concave down” (a frown). At those values of $x$ for which the 2nd derivative of a given function is positive, the given function will be concave up. When the 2nd derivative is negative, the given function will be concave down.

dd1()       dd2()       dd3()       dd4()

Exercise 5  

1. Draw the graph of a function from your imagination over the domain $-5\le x\le 5$. The function should be continuous everywhere except at $x=-2,1,3$.

2. Draw the graph of a second function from your imagination over the same domain as in (1). The second function should be continuous everywhere in domain: no discontinuities. It should also have a derivative everywhere except at $x=-2,1,3$.
