Lesson Proper
LIMITS AND CONTINUITY AT A POINT
From our previous discussion about limits,

lim f ( x ) ≠ f (c ). So, in this lesson we can identify that it
x →c
is not necessarily that the limits of a function and the
value of a function at c is always equal.
What does “continuity at a point” mean? Intuitively, this

means that in drawing the graph of a function, the point
in question will be traversed.
We start by graphically illustrating what it means to be

continuous at a point.
Example 1: Consider the graph below.
Is the function continuous at x=1?

Solution:
To check if the function is continuous at x=1, use
the given graph. Note that one is able to trace the
graph from the left side of the number x=1going to
the right side of x=1, without lifting one’s pen.
This is the case here. Hence, we can say that the
function is continuous at x=1.
EXAMPLE 2: Consider the graph of the function

g(x)
below.

Contact No.: (63) 0998 997 6778 | (043) 784 0955
Is the function continuous at x=1?

Solution:
We follow the process in the previous example.
Tracing the graph from the left of going to right of
x=1., one finds that s/he must lift her/his pen
briefly upon reaching x=1, creating a hole in the
graph. Thus, the function is discontinuous at x=1.
EXAMPLE 3: Consider the graph of the function

1
h ( x )= .
x
Is the function continuous at x=0 ?

Solution:
If we trace the graph from the left of x=0 going to
right of x=0 , we have to lift our pen since at the
left of x=0 , the function values will go downward
indefinitely, while at the right x=0 , the function
values will go to upward indefinitely. In other
words,
lim ¿ lim ¿
−¿
x→ 0
1
=−∞ ¿
and −¿
x→ 0
1
=−∞ ¿
x x
Thus, the function is discontinuous at x=0 .
EXAMPLE 4: Consider again the graph of the

Contact No.: (63) 0998 997 6778 | (043) 784 0955
1
function h ( x )= . Is the function continuous at
x
x=2?
Solution. If we trace the graph of the function
1
h ( x )= from the left of x=2 to the right of x=2,
x
you will not lift your pen. Therefore, the function h
is continuous at x=2.
A. Activity
CONTINUOUS OR NOT
Directions: Given the graph below, determine if the
function H (x ) is continuous at the following values
of x :
1. x=2
2. x=−3
3. x=0
1. continuous
2. continuous
3. discontinuous because two points/graph
did not meet at x=0 .
B. Analysis
Suppose we are not given the graph of a function

but just the function itself. How do we determine if
the function is continuous at a given number? In
this case, we have to check three conditions.
THREE CONDITIONS OF CONTINUITY

A function f (x) is said to be continuous at
x=c if the following three conditions are satisfied:
i. f ( c ) ∃;

Contact No.: (63) 0998 997 6778 | (043) 784 0955
ii. lim f ( x ) exists; and

x →c
iii. f ( c ) =lim f ( x )
x→ c
If at least one of these conditions is not met, f is said to

be discontinuous at x=c .
EXAMPLE 5: Determine if f ( x )=x 3 + x 2−2 is

continuous or not at x=1.
Solution. We have to check the three conditions for
continuity of a function.
a. If x=1, then f ( 1 ) =0.
b. lim f ( x )=lim ( x + x −2 )=1+1 −2=0
3 2 2
x →1 x →1
c. f ( 1 ) =0=lim f ( x )
x→1
Therefore, f is continuous at x=1.

2
x −x−2
EXAMPLE 6: Determine if f ( x )= is
x−2
Solution. We have to check the three conditions for

continuity of a function.
a. If x=0 , then f ( 0 )=1.
b.
x −x−2 (x −2)( x +1)
2
lim f ( x )=lim = =lim ( x +1 )=1
x →0 x →0 x−2 x−2 x→ 0
c. f ( 0 )=1=lim f ( x )
x→0
Therefore, f is continuous at x=0 .
2
x −x−2
EXAMPLE 7: Determine if f ( x )= is
x−2
Solution:
Note that f is not defined at x=2since 2 is not in the
domain of f . Hence, the first condition in the definition
of a continuous function is not satisfied. Therefore, f is
discontinuous at x=2.

EXAMPLE 8: Determine if
f ( x )=
{
x +1if x< 4 ,
(x−4 )2 +3 if x ≥ 4
is continuous or not at x=4.
Solution:
Note that f is defined at x=4 since f ( 4 )=3. However,
