Homework Statement



give an example of functions f and g, both continuous at x=0, for which the composite f(g(x)) is discontinuous at x=0. Does this contradict the sandwich theorem? Give reasons for your answer.

The Attempt at a Solution


I understand the sandwich theorem, but I don't understand how I can just make up these functions! :confused:

I really want to say that one of the functions, either f(x) or G(x) is also discontinuous at a certain point. But not at x=0.
