I. Continuity Continuous: To say that a function f is continuous at x = c there is no interruption in the graph of f at c This means a graph will contain no HOLES, JUMPS, or GAPS Simple Terms: If you ever have to lift your pencil to sketch a graph, then it is not continuous.

I. Continuity What Causes discontinuity? 1. The function is not defined at c. This is an example of a hole in the graph at f(-2) Concept: The function is not defined at c. c f(c) = not defined Let’s look at at f(x) = ½x - 2

I. Continuity What Causes discontinuity? 2. The limit of f(x) does not exist at x = c This is an example of a gap in the graph at x = 3 Concept: The limit does not exist at x = c Let’s look at at c

I. Continuity What Causes discontinuity? 3. The limit of f(x) exists at x = c but is not equal to f(c). This is an example of a jump in the graph Concept: The behavior (limit) and where its defined (f(c)) are not the same. Let’s look at the first graph again c What is the limit as x approaches -2? What is f(-2)?

A function f is continuous at c if the following three conditions are met: 1. f(c) is defined 2. exists 3. I. Continuity Continuous: To say that a function f is continuous at x = c there is no interruption in the graph of f at c This means a graph will contain no HOLES, JUMPS, or GAPS Simple Terms: If you ever have to lift your pencil to sketch a graph, then it is not continuous.

II. Discontinuities When you are asked to “discuss the continuity” of each function, you are really being asked to describe any place where the graph is discontinuous. Discontinuity is broken into 2 Categories: 1. Removable: A discontinuity is removable if you COULD define f(c). HOLES JUMPS c c

II. Discontinuities When you are asked to “discuss the continuity” of each function, you are really being asked to describe any place where the graph is discontinuous. Discontinuity is broken into 2 Categories: 1. Removable: A discontinuity is removable if you COULD define f(c). GAPS ASYMPTOTES 2. Non-Removable: A discontinuity is non-removable if you CANNOT define f(c). c c

Discontinuity is broken into 2 Categories: 1. Removable: A discontinuity is removable if you COULD define f(c). 2. Non-Removable: A discontinuity is non-removable if you CANNOT define f(c). Example 1:What is the Domain? Has a Removable discontinuity at x = -1 What intervals is the graph continuous? Linear Function Specific: Hole at (-1, -2)

Discontinuity is broken into 2 Categories: 1. Removable: A discontinuity is removable if you COULD define f(c). 2. Non-Removable: A discontinuity is non-removable if you CANNOT define f(c). Example 3: Discuss the continuity of the composite function f(g(x)) What intervals is the graph continuous? x + 1 > 0 x > -1
