What this module is about?

While flowing water, long winding roads and waiting for forever are just examples of
uninterrupted actions or continuity. There are times wherein some actions were meant to be disjointed
or disconnected. Somehow, the concept of continuity is also present in Calculus and it will be presented
to you in details as you go on with this module.

LESSON 3: Continuity of Functions

Lesson 3.1.1. Continuity at a Point
There are different ways on how we can represent a function. One of those is its graph. If the
graph of a function has no gap or holes, then we can say that the function is continuous. Otherwise, it’s
discontinuous. A function is continuous if you can draw it in one motion without picking up your pencil.
In addition, a function is said to be continuous at a point x = c if all of the following conditions are
satisfied.
Continuity Test
1. 𝑓(c) exists, c lies in the domain of 𝑓.
2. exists, 𝑓 has a limit as 𝑥→c. The limit of a function 𝑓(𝑥) exists if the left-hand limit
is equal to the right-hand limit. That is,
3. = 𝑓(𝑐)

Example 1. Identify whether the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2 + 5𝑥 + 6 is continuous at 𝑥 = −1.

Solution:
1. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 + 6 at 𝑥 = −1 2. 3. 𝑓(c) = 2
𝑓(-1) = (−1) 2 + 5(−1) + 6 = 2 = (−1) 2 + 5(−1) + 6 = 2
∴ 𝑓(c) exists ∴ exists ∴
Since all of the conditions are satisfied, then 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous at 𝑥 = −1.

Example 2. At 𝑥 = 3, is the function continuous at that particular point?

Solution:
1. 2. 3. 𝑓(c) DNE

∴ 𝑓(c) is indeterminate, DNE ∴ exists ∴

Since two of the conditions are NOT satisfied, then 𝑓(𝑥) is not continuous at x = 3 .

Example 3 Determine if the function continuous at 𝑥 = 0 .

Solution:
1. 2. 3. 𝑓(c) = undefined

∴ 𝑓(c) is undefined, DNE ∴ DNE ∴

Since all of the conditions are NOT satisfied, then 𝑓(𝑥) is not continuous at x = 0.

Lesson 3.1.2. Continuity on an Interval

A function is said to be continuous at a closed interval [a, b] if its right endpoint, open interval
and left endpoint has no breakage, holes or discontinuity.
One- Sided Continuity
 continuous from the left at 𝑥 = 𝑐 if
 be continuous from the right at 𝑥 = 𝑐 if
Continuity of Polynomial, Absolute Value, Rational and Square Root Functions
(a) Polynomial functions are continuous everywhere.
(b) The absolute value function 𝑓(𝑥) = |𝑥| is continuous everywhere.
(c) Rational functions are continuous on their respective domains.
(d) The square root function 𝑓(𝑥) = Is continuous on [0, ∞).
 3

The conditions needed to be satisfied to be able to know whether the function is continuous or
not on a closed interval:
1. The function 𝑓(𝑥) needs to be continuous at the open interval (a, b).
2. The function 𝑓(𝑥) needs to be continuous at the left endpoint [a].
a. If 𝑓(a) exists.
b. If exists.
c. If .
3. The function 𝑓(𝑥) needs to be continuous at the right endpoint [b].
a. If 𝑓(𝑏) exists..
b. If exists.
c. If

Example 1. Is the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2 + 5𝑥 + 6 is continuous on the closed interval [−4, 1] ?

1. Table of values 2. a) 𝑓(a) = 𝑓(-4)= (-4)2 + 5(-4) + 6 = 2

-3 0 ∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous at the left endpoint [a].

-1 2 b) = (1)2 + 5(1) + 6 = 12
.99 11.9931
c)
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous at (a, b). ∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous at the right endpoint [b].
Since all of the conditions are satisfied, then 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous on the closed interval [−4, 1]

Example 2. Check if the function is continuous on the closed interval [−5, -3]?
1. Table of values 2. a) 𝑓(a) = 𝑓(-5) = Imaginary no.
b) Imaginary no. , DNE

c) 𝑓(a) and DNE

-3.5 Imaginary no. 3.a) 𝑓(b) = 𝑓(3) =
-3.1 Imaginary no.
b) =
-3.111 Imaginary no.
c)
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is not continuous at (a, b). ∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous at the right endpoint [b].
Only one of the three conditions is satisfied, then 𝑓(𝑥) is not continuous on the closed interval [−5, -3].

Lesson 3.2 : More on Continuity

Lesson 3.2.1: Different Types of Discontinuities
The following are the different types of discontinuity:
a. Removable/Hole/Point Discontinuity
A function is said to have a removable discontinuity at x = c, if
a. exists
b.
Either because 𝑓(c) is undefined or the value of 𝑓(c) differs
from the value of the limit.

b. Jump/Essential Discontinuity
A function is said to have a jump discontinuity at 𝑥 = c if
.
It can usually be found on piecewise functions.

c. Infinite/Asymptotic Discontinuity
This type of discontinuity exists if a function has one or
more infinite limits. Many rational functions with vertical
asymptote exhibit this type of behavior.

Flowchart: A function is continuous or not at a point c

Lesson 3.2.2: The Intermediate Value and the Extreme Value Theorems
Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT).
If a function 𝑓(x) is continuous over a closed interval [a, b], then for
every value m between 𝑓(a) and 𝑓(b), there is a value c ⋲ [a, b] such
that 𝑓(c) = m.
Examples:
1. Consider the function 𝑓(x) = 2x - 5. Show that at x = c lies on [1, 5] if 𝑓(c) = 3 .
𝑓(1) = 2(1) - 5 = -3 where -3 < 3
𝑓 (5) = 2(5) – 5 = 5 where 5> 3
∴ 𝑓(x) is continuous (polynomial) over a closed interval [a, b], and
𝑓 (1) < 𝑓(c) < 𝑓 5) or -3 < 3 < 5,then by IVT, c ⋲ [1,5]
Check:
2x – 5 = 3
2x = 3+5
x = c = 4 ϵ [1,5]

2. Given 𝑓(x) = 3x2 -2x -5. Show that f(x) = 0 has a solution on [1, 2].
𝑓 (1) = 3(1)2 – 2(1) – 5 = -4 where -4< 0
𝑓 (2) = 3(2)2 – 2(2) – 5 = 3 where 3> 0
∴ 𝑓(x) is continuous (polynomial) and since 𝑓(1) < 0 < 𝑓(2 ), by the IVT, c ϵ [1, 2] .

The Extreme Value Theorem

 5

Extreme Value Theorem (EVT) states that a function 𝑓(𝑥) which is found to be continuous over a
closed interval [𝑎, 𝑏] is guaranteed to have extreme values in that interval.
An extreme value of 𝑓 or extremum, is either a minimum or maximum value of a function.
• A minimum value of 𝑓 occurs at some 𝑥 = 𝑐, if 𝑓(𝑐) ≤ 𝑓(𝑥) for all 𝑥 ≠ 𝑐 in that interval.
• A maximum value of 𝑓 occurs at some 𝑥 = 𝑐, if 𝑓(𝑐) ≥ 𝑓(𝑥) for all 𝑥 ≠ 𝑐 in that interval.
Examples:
1. The function 𝑓(x) = 2x – 5 on [1,5] exhibits the extrema at the endpoints.
𝑓(1) = 2(1) - 5 = -3 → minimum value
𝑓(5) = 2(5) – 5 = 5 → maximum value
2. 𝑓(x) = x2 on [-4,2] exhibits an extremum at one endpoint and another at an interior point.
𝑓(-4) = (-4)2 = 16 → maximum value
𝑓(2) = (2)2 = 4
𝑓(0) = (0)2 = 0 → minimum value
