consider the function g(x) = 2 − πx if x ≤ a x^4 if x > a Show that there exists a value of a which makes g(x) continuous everywhere. (Hint: Draw the graphs of y = 2 − πx and y = x 4 on the same axes. For a particular value of a, the graph of g(x) looks like y = 2 − πx for x ≤ a and y = x 4 for x > a. Based on the graphs, how should you choose a so that g(x) is continuous? Use the IVT to justify that there is such a number a.)

Question
consider the function
g(x) = 2 − πx if x ≤ a
x^4 if x > a
Show that there exists a value of a which makes g(x) continuous everywhere. (Hint: Draw the graphs of y = 2 − πx and y = x 4 on the same axes. For a particular value of a, the graph of g(x) looks like y = 2 − πx for x ≤ a and y = x 4 for x > a. Based on the graphs, how should you choose a so that g(x) is continuous? Use the IVT to justify that there is such a number a.)
