For each of the following sign charts, sketch the graph of a function f that has the indicated signs, zeros, and discontinuities:

For each limit statement , use algebra to find δ > 0 in terms of > 0 so that if 0 < |x − c| < δ, then | f(x) − L| < .
In Exercises 39–44, use Theorem 1.16 and left and right limits to determine whether each function f is continuous at its break point(s). For each discontinuity of f, describe the type of discontinuity and any one-sided discontinuity.
