Continuity of A Function at A Number

1) A function f is continuous at a point a if the limit of f as x approaches a is equal to the value of f(a). 2) For a function f(x) to be continuous on a closed interval [a,b]: a) it must be continuous on the open interval (a,b); b) it must be continuous from the right at a, meaning the limit of f(x) as x approaches a exists and is equal to f(a); and c) it must be continuous from the left at b, meaning the limit of f(x) as x approaches b exists and is equal to f(b). 3) Continuity of a function involves

OBJECT
IVES *It must be defined at
that point,its limit and
must exist at the point.

*The value of the function


at that point mus be equal
and equal the value of the
limit at that point.

*Analyze problem solving


involving continuity of a
function.
CONTINUITY
*A function f is said to be continuous at a point a if
and only if the limit of f as x approaches a is the
value f(a) of f at a.
EXAMPLES:
CONDITION FOR
CONTINUITY OF
FUNCTIONS OF AN
INTERVAL
Definition of f(x) is continuous on a closed interval
A function f(x) is said to be continuous on a closed interval of[a,b] if

a.) it has continuous on the open interval (a,b)


b.) it is continuous from the right at a if i.f(A) exits
ii.limf(x)exits
x->a

iii.limf(x)=f(a)
x->a
c.)it is continuous from left at b
i.f(b)exits
ii.limf(x)exits
x->b
iii.limf(x)=f(b)
x->b
