Show that f is continuous on (−∞. ∞). f(x) = 1 − x2 if x ≤ 1 ln(x) if x > 1

Show that f is continuous on (−∞, ∞).

f(x) =

1 −
x2    
if x ≤ 1
ln(x)     if x > 1

On the interval

(−∞, 1),

f is function; therefore f is continuous
on

(−∞, 1).

On the interval

(1, ∞),

f is function; therefore f is continuous
on

(1, ∞).

At

x = 1,

lim
x→1f(x)
= lim x→1

and

lim
x→1+f(x)
= lim x→1+

=

,

so

lim x→1
f(x) =

.

Also,

f(1) =

.

Thus, f is continuous at

x = 1.

We conclude that f is continuous on

(−∞, ∞).
