3. Let a € R. Let f and g be two different functions defined on R. Is each of the following claims true or false? Prove your answer. If it is true, prove it directly from the epsilon-delta definition of a limit. Hint: often times, the easiest way to prove something is false is by providing a counter example and and proving that counter example satisfies the required conditions. (a) IF f(x) is not continuous at a and g(x) is not continuous at a, THEN f(x)g(x) is not continuous at a. False True (b) IF f(x) is not continuous at a and g(x) is not continuous at a, THEN f(x)/g(r) is not continuous at a. True False
