Rules of the game  You will work with your Unit 3 group  We will have 4 rounds of 6 questions each. Most are multiple choice; some are fill in the blank.  Point values per question:  Rounds 1 and 2: 1pt;  Rounds 3 and 4: 2pts.  You will be required to write down one answer per round (i.e., to choose one answer you are particularly confident about)  If you get it right, you get points for that question  If you get it wrong, you lose points! We will play this game on the HONOR system with each team keeping track of its own points. In the end, the team with the highest score will win a prize!

Each question is worth 1 point.

Suppose f,g: R → R are continuous functions such that f(r) = g(r) for all r in Q. That is to say, f and g are equal on the rational numbers. Prove that f(x) = g(x) for all x in R.
