Flashcards

Continuity

A function is continuous at a point if its graph can be drawn without lifting the pen from the paper at that point.

Differentiability

A function is differentiable at a point if its derivative exists at that point. This means the function has a well-defined slope or rate of change at that point.

Formal definition of Continuity

A function is continuous at a point if the left-hand and right-hand limits exist and are equal to the function's value at that point.

Relationship between Continuity and Differentiability

A function is differentiable at a point if it is continuous at that point and its graph does not have a sharp corner or vertical tangent at that point.

Study Notes

Continuity and Differentiability

Previous year's CBSE board questions are presented for review. Various types of questions are included, including Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and some with detailed calculation requirements.
Topics covered include continuity of functions, including piecewise functions, and differentiability. The concepts of L.H.D. (Left-Hand Derivative) and R.H.D. (Right-Hand Derivative) are introduced.
Problems involve finding the value of constants to ensure continuity at a specific point, determining the differentiability of functions at crucial points, and establishing relationships between function parameters for continuity.
Exponential and logarithmic functions are also part of the study notes, along with questions on logarithmic differentiation.
Questions involve finding derivatives and higher-order derivatives for given functions.
Methods for solving problems are explained.
Several question types are presented: multiple choice, short answer, and longer problem-solving formats.
