Topics in Continuity and Differentiability

1

Continuity of Functions

  • A function f(x) is continuous at point c if lim(x→c) f(x) = f(c)
  • For continuity at c: left-hand limit = right-hand limit = function value at c
  • Graphically, continuous functions can be drawn without lifting the pen
2

Differentiability

  • A function is differentiable at c if lim(h→0) [f(c+h) - f(c)]/h exists
  • Every differentiable function is continuous, but not vice versa
  • Differentiability implies continuity but continuity doesn't guarantee differentiability
3

Chain Rule

  • Used to differentiate composite functions f(g(x))
  • If y = f(u) and u = g(x), then dy/dx = (dy/du) × (du/dx)
  • Essential for differentiating complex functions
4

Derivatives of Inverse Trigonometric Functions

  • Inverse trigonometric functions have specific derivative formulas
  • Domain restrictions are important for these functions
  • Often combined with chain rule for composite functions
