Study Notes
Continuity of Functions
- 𝑓(𝑥) is discontinuous at 𝑥=3 because the open dot on the graph indicates that 𝑓(𝑥) does not exist at 𝑥=3, violating the first condition of continuity.
Continuity of ℎ(𝑥)
- ℎ(0) exists and is equal to 1.
- The left-hand limit of ℎ(𝑥) as 𝑥 approaches 0 from the left is -1, denoted by lim┬(𝑥→0^− )〖ℎ(𝑥)〗=−1.
- The right-hand limit of ℎ(𝑥) as 𝑥 approaches 0 from the right is 1, denoted by lim┬(𝑥→0^+ )〖ℎ(𝑥)〗=1.
- Since the left-hand and right-hand limits are not equal, the limit of ℎ(𝑥) as 𝑥 approaches 0 does not exist, violating the second condition of continuity.
- Therefore, ℎ(𝑥) is discontinuous at 𝑥=0.
