Sketch each of the following piecewise-defined functions. Then, determine if the functions are continuous and differentiable over all reals.

  1.  

  2.  

To test if the function is continuous at the boundary point, use the 3 Conditions of Continuity:

2.  exists.

To test if the function is differential at the boundary point, use the same 3 conditions on the derivative.

2. exists. (Note, differentiability implies continuity.)

Notice that part (b) has two boundary points, so you will have to run these tests twice.
