2. The function f(x) is defined on the interval [0, 2] and is between 4 − x and x
2 + 2 for
all x in this interval. Does it have to be continuous at x = 1? Explain why or why
not. (5)
3. Show that the equation x
7 −3 x−1 = 0 has at least one solution in the interval [−1, 1].

(b) Consider the function
f(x) = 2 arctan x − x .
Find its domain, horizontal and vertical asymptotes, local minima, local maxima,
and inflection points of f. Identify the regions where the graph of f is concave
upward or concave downward. Finally, sketch the graph of the function.
