Continuity at a point

A function is continuous at a point if the limit of the function as x approaches that point exists and equals the function's value at that point.

Function continuous on domain

A function is continuous on its domain if it is continuous at every point within its domain.

Continuity Characteristics

A function is continuous at a point only if: 1) the function is defined at that point; 2) the limit of the function as x approaches that point exists; and 3) the limit equals the function's value at that point.

Continuity on an interval

A function is continuous on an interval if it's continuous at every point within the interval.

Study Notes

General Math (I) - Lecture 7

  • Topic: Continuity of Functions
  • Chapter: 2 - Functions & Limits
  • Key Concepts: Continuity, Limits, Functions
  • Study points
  • Continuity at a point
  • A function f is continuous at x = a when:
  • f(a) is defined
  • lim (x→a) f(x) exists
  • lim (x→a) f(x) = f(a)
  • If any condition is not met, the function is not continuous at x = a.
  • Continuity on domains
  • Constant functions
  • Polynomial functions
  • Exponential functions
  • Absolute value functions
  • Odd root functions (e.g., cube root)
  • Sine and cosine functions
  • Continuity characteristics
  • Sums (f + g)
  • Differences (f - g)
  • Products (f â‹… g)
  • Constant multiples (k â‹… f, where k is any number)
  • Quotients (f/g, provided g(c) ≠ 0)
  • Powers (fr/s, provided it is defined on an open interval containing c, where r and s are integers)
  • Continuity on an interval
  • A function is continuous on a closed interval if it is continuous at all interior points and the endpoints.
  • A function f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] if:
  • f is defined on [a, b]
  • f is continuous on (a, b)
  • lim (x→a+) f(x) = f(a)
  • lim (x→b-) f(x) = f(b)
