Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image asks to select all correct statements related to the boundedness of certain functions over given intervals.
Let's go through each statement:
-
is unbounded on :
- The function is a Gaussian function, which approaches zero as and has a maximum value at . Since it has a maximum and decays to zero at infinity, it is bounded on . Therefore, this statement is false.
-
is bounded on :
- For , decreases as increases, approaching zero as . So, the function is bounded on this interval. This statement is true.
-
is bounded on :
- The function is bounded because the denominator always keeps the function value between 0 and 1. On any interval, including , the function is bounded. This statement is true.
-
is bounded on :
- The tangent function has vertical asymptotes at points where its argument is . Since will approach one of these asymptotes, the tangent function becomes unbounded on the interval . Therefore, this statement is false.
-
is bounded below on :
- The function has a vertical asymptote at and grows without bound as . However, for large , the function approaches zero. While it is unbounded from above near zero, it is bounded below by 0, so this statement is true.
-
is bounded on :
- On , the function decreases as increases, and it approaches zero. So, it is bounded on this interval. This statement is true.
Correct Statements:
- is bounded on
- is bounded on
- is bounded below on
- is bounded on
