TYPES OF DISCONTINUITY

• Removable Discontinuity- this discontinuity occurs when

there is a hole in the graph of the function.

JUMP DISCONTINUITY

• This discontinuity occurs when the graph of the

function stops at one point and seems to jump at
another point. In a jump discontinuity, the left hand
and the right hand limit exists but are not equal.
•Infinite Discontinuity – In this type of
discontinuity, at least one of the two limits
is infinite
