     1. (2 points  each) True or False:    (    )       (    )   If f is continuous on [2,4], f(2)=1 and f(4)=5, then there exists a number c between 2 and 4 such that f(c)=2.7.    (    )   If f is a continuous function at a, then lim_{x→a}f(x)=f(a).    (    )    ((d³y)/(dx³))=(((dy)/(dx)))³.    (    )   If a function is differentiable at a point, then it is also continuous at the same point.

For bonus points, please be aware these must be hand graded after the due date has passed: The spinal curvature of the lower back is the ________ curvature.
