    The document defines continuity at points and different types of discontinuities. It states that a function f(x) is continuous at a point c if the limit of f(x) as x approaches c equals f(c). There are four types of discontinuities: removable, jump, infinite, and oscillating. The Intermediate Value Theorem states that if a function is continuous on an interval [a,b], it takes on all values between f(a) and f(b). A series of problems then asks the reader to find and classify discontinuities in various functions.

    3 Continuity

    Definition of Continuity at a Point


    A. Interior Point : y = f HxL is continuous at an interior point c of its domain if lim f HxL = f HcL

    B. Endpoint : y = f HxL is continuous at a left endpoint a or is continuous at a right endpoint b


    xÆc

    of its domain if lim f HxL = f HaL or lim f HxL = f HbL respectively


    x Æ a+ x Æ b-

    Types of Discontinuities
    A. Removable B. Jump C. Infinite D. Oscillating

    Intermediate Value Theorem


    If y = f HxL is continuous on @a, bD, then it takes on every value from f HaL to f HbL. Or, if y0 is between
    f HaL and f HbL, then y0 = f HcL for some c in @a, bD.
