Assignment 2: Continuity, Intermediate Value Property

1. The document contains 10 problems related to continuity and intermediate value properties of functions. The problems involve showing functions are continuous, determining points of continuity, showing a function equals a constant value at a point, and demonstrating functions have real roots. 2. The problems cover a range of concepts including showing a function is Lipschitz continuous, determining rational and irrational values of a piecewise function on an interval, applying the intermediate value property, and analyzing properties of polynomials. 3. The problems progress from demonstrating basic properties like continuity to applying concepts like the intermediate value theorem to show functions attain values and polynomials have real roots.
