Let f and g be continuous, positive functions defined on the interval [0, ∞). Prove or disprove the following statements, giving a counterexample in the case that a statement is false: (i) If f(x) = O(g(x)), then h(x) = g(x)/f(x) is bounded. (ii) If g(x) = O(f(x)), then h(x) = g(x)/f(x) is bounded.
