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.

 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
