Real Analysis Help!

Show that
f(x)= x/1+e^(1/x), x doesn't equal 0
f(0)=0

defines a continuous function on R. Is f(x) differentiable?

I have no idea where to even begin. My teacher didn't even teach us this in class before assigning it... hmm

Re: Real Analysis Help!

Hi;

You can get the first part

f(0)=0

by taking the limit.


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.
