The document discusses continuity of functions, defining a continuous function at a point c as one where the graph has no holes, jumps, or gaps at c. It provides examples of determining if specific functions are continuous at given points by checking if the function value, and left-hand and right-hand limits exist and are equal at those points. The document also discusses continuity over intervals, asking the reader to determine continuity for given functions over specific intervals based on their graphs.

of a Function Continuity of Function at Constant c
A function is said to be continuous at x=c if there is no
interruption in the graph of f(x) at c. There is no hole, jump or gap at x=c. Upon tracing the graph of a function, you are not going to lift your pen at x = c. Once you lift your pen it means that the graph of function is discontinuous at x=c.
