Continuity of Function
• 
A function is said to be continuous at Continuous
function
If . If the function is not

Continuous at a point, it is said to be

discontinuous at that point Dis Continuous

function

Continuity of Function
• 
Conditions for a function to be continuous at

Functional value exist

Left hand and Right hand limit exists

Left hand limit = functional value = Right hand limit

For a function to be continuous, all the above criterias should be satisfied.

Continuity of Function
• 
is discontinuous at if at least one of the following conditions holds

does not exist.

is not defined

removable discontinuity

Continuity of Function (Some Examples)
•Examine
  the continuity or the discontinuity of the function
at
Solution, First condition (existence of functional value)
When Which is finite and exists.
Second condition (Existence of the limits)

Which is also finite and exists.

Third Condition
Hence, the function is continuous at

Continuity of Function (Some Examples)
• 
Find the point of discontinuity of the function if any. Justify, why the
function is not continuous at that point.

Solution: The given function is not defined if and . So the given

function is discontinuous at

Continuity of Function (Some Examples)
•Examine
  the continuity of the function
at
Solution: LHL. = LHL. = RHL. =1
= Functional value at is

RHL. = LHL. = RHL.== 1

= Hence, the given function is
continuous at

Continuity of Function (Some Examples)
 Examine the continuity of the function
at
• 
Solution: RHL. =

LHL. =

Now at .

So, R.H.L.=L.H.L

is not continuous at .
