and put if . Show that is continuous on , and for all . Define
Show that if . Hence
Answers
Away from the origin, is continuous since the definitions agree at the points , and . Since , we have for , , and , , so is also continuous at the origin.
For we have for all , and for we have for , so for all .
If , then
and if , then
Hence , while .
