[Community Question] Calculus: Simple and short true-false tasks regarding Precalculus

One of our user asked:

Here are few of the questions from the previous years' exams. I've chosen the ones I'm not sure about. It's a simple TRUE/FALSE task. Would anyone be able to verify my solution? Some of my answers are good, some are just random guess according to my intuition. I don't really need a detailed explanation... Thanks!

  1. Domain of $f'$ is contained within domain of $f$. - TRUE
  2. Boundary point of set A is also a cluster point of that set. - TRUE
  3. Every increasing sequence and bounded above is convergent. - TRUE
  4. Every increasing sequence and bounded below is convergent. - FALSE
  5. Every increasing sequence is always bounded below. - TRUE
  6. Every sequence is discontinuous function. - FALSE
  7. Every sequence is continuous function. - TRUE
  8. Every function integrable on $<a, b>$ is continuous on $<a, b>$. - FALSE
  9. Function $f(x) = \ln{|x|}$ is discontinuous at $0$. - TRUE
  10. The continuity is necessary for differentiability. - TRUE
  11. Function $f(x) = \frac{x}{|x|}$ is monotonic. - FALSE

[Community Question] Linear-algebra: non-negative matrix satisfying two conditions

One of our user asked: A real matrix $B$ is called non-negative if every entry is non-negative. We will denote this by $B\ge 0$ . I want to find a non-negative matrix $B$ satisfying the following two conditions: (1) $(I-B)^{-1}$ exists but not non-negative. Here $I$ is the identity matrix. (2) There is a non-zero and non-negative vector $\vec{d}$ such that $(I-B)^{-1}\vec{d}\ge 0$ . I tried all the $2\times 2$ matrices, but it did not work. I conjecture that such a $B$ does not exist, but don't know how to prove it.

[Community Question] Linear-algebra: Are linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces always differentiable?

One of our user asked: In class we saw that every linear transformation is differentiable (since there's always a linear approximation for them) and we also saw that a differentiable function must be continuous, so it must be true that all linear operators are continuous, however, I just read that between infinite dimensional vector spaces this is not necessarily true. I would like to know where's the flaw in my reasoning (I suspect that linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces are not always differentiable).
