Key Topics to Revise

1

Definition and Conditions for Continuity

  • A function f(x) is continuous at x = a if three conditions are satisfied simultaneously
  • Continuity means the graph has no breaks, holes, or jumps at that point
  • Left-hand limit must equal right-hand limit and both must equal the function value
2

Types of Discontinuities

  • Jump discontinuity occurs when left and right limits exist but are different
  • Removable discontinuity can be 'fixed' by redefining the function at one point
  • Infinite discontinuity occurs when function approaches ±∞
3

Continuity Problem-Solving Techniques

  • Systematic approach: check definition, calculate limits, compare values
  • For piecewise functions, focus on boundary points where definition changes
  • Use algebraic manipulation to resolve indeterminate forms
4

Continuity Over Intervals

  • Continuity on open interval (a,b) means continuous at every point inside
  • Continuity on closed interval [a,b] requires right-continuity at a and left-continuity at b
  • Half-open intervals need appropriate one-sided continuity at endpoints
