![1. Show that f(x) = x3 is not uniformly continuous on R.
2. Show that f(x) = 1/(x-2) is not uniformly continuous on (2,00).
3. Show that f(x)=sin(1/x) is not uniformly continuous on (0,л/2].
4. Show that f(x) = mx + b is uniformly continuous on R.
5. Show that f(x) = 1/x2 is uniformly continuous on [1, 00), but not on
(0, 1].
6. Show that if f is uniformly continuous on [a, b] and uniformly continuous
on D (where D is either [b, c] or [b, 00)), then f is uniformly continuous
on [a, b]U D.
7. Show that f(x)=√x is uniformly continuous on [1, 00). Use Exercise 6
to conclude that f is uniformly continuous on [0, ∞).
8. Show that if D is bounded and f is uniformly continuous on D, then fis
bounded on D.
9. Let f and g be uniformly continuous on D. Show that f+g is uniformly
continuous on D. Show, by example, that fg need not be uniformly con-
tinuous on D.
10. Complete the proof of Theorem 4.7.
11. Give an example of a continuous function on Q that cannot be continuously
extended to R.
12. Let f : Q→ R be uniformly continuous on Q. Show that f has a unique
continuous extension to R. [Hint: Define g: RR by
[f(x)
g(x) = lim f(x)
818
if x = Q
if xe R\Q and (xn)nen is a
sequence in Qwith xn → x.
818
First show that g is well-defined; that is, lim f(x,) is a real number and
if (yn)nen is another sequence in Q with ynx, then lim f(x):
lim f(y). Then show directly (e-8 argument) that g is uniformly con-
818
tinuous on R 1
