The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements are incorrect, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Statement 1: **If \( f + g \) is continuous at \( x = a \), then \( f \) and \( g \) are continuous at \( x = a \).** **Analysis:** - We can construct functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) such that \( f + g \) is continuous at a point, but \( f \) and \( g \) themselves are not continuous. - For example, let: - \( f(x) = 1 \) for \( x \geq 0 \) and \( f(x) = -1 \) for \( x < 0 \) - \( g(x) = -1 \) for \( x \geq 0 \) and \( g(x) = 1 \) for \( x < 0 \) - Then \( f + g = 0 \) for all \( x \), which is continuous everywhere, including at \( x = 0 \). - However, both \( f \) and \( g \) are discontinuous at \( x = 0 \). **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. ### Statement 2: **If \( \lim_{x \to a} f(x) g(x) \) exists, then both \( \lim_{x \to a} f(x) \) and \( \lim_{x \to a} g(x) \) must exist.** **Analysis:** - Consider \( f(x) = x \) and \( g(x) = \frac{1}{x} \). - As \( x \to 0 \), \( f(x) g(x) = x \cdot \frac{1}{x} = 1 \), which has a limit of 1. - However, \( \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) \) exists (it approaches 0), but \( \lim_{x \to 0} g(x) \) does not exist (it approaches \( \infty \)). **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. ### Statement 3: **Discontinuity at \( x = a \) implies non-existence of limit at that point.** **Analysis:** - This statement is false because there can be removable discontinuities where the limit exists but the function is not continuous. - For example, if \( f(x) = \frac{x^2 - 1}{x - 1} \) for \( x \neq 1 \) and \( f(1) = 0 \), the limit as \( x \to 1 \) exists and equals 2, but \( f(1) \neq 2 \), indicating a removable discontinuity. **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. ### Statement 4: **All functions defined on a closed interval attain a maximum or minimum value in that interval.** **Analysis:** - This statement is true for continuous functions on closed intervals due to the Extreme Value Theorem. - However, if we consider the function \( f(x) = \tan(x) \) defined on the interval \( (-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}) \), it does not attain a maximum or minimum value as it approaches \( \infty \) and \( -\infty \) at the endpoints. **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. ### Summary of Incorrect Statements: 1. Statement 1 is incorrect. 2. Statement 2 is incorrect. 3. Statement 3 is incorrect. 4. Statement 4 is incorrect. ### Final Answer: All statements (1, 2, 3, and 4) are incorrect. ---
