1 2.4 Continuity Objective: Given a graph or equation, examine the continuity of a function, including left-side and right-side continuity. Then use laws of continuity to evaluate a limit. A function is continuous if you can draw it in one motion without picking up your pencil.

2 Determine whether the function is continuous at each of the following locations. Explain. 1.x = 0 2.x = 1 3.x = 2 4.x= 4 5.Over what interval(s) is f continuous?

3 Three types of Discontinuity – removable, jump, non-removable A. Removable Discontinuity (hole) B. Jump Discontinuity (left and right limits are not equal) (You can fill the hole by redefining the function at one point)

4 C.Non-removable “Infinite” Discontinuity (asymptote) Three types of Discontinuity – removable, jump, non-removable – the limit is infinite as c approaches c on one or both sides

11 The Laws of Continuity are intended to help us determine the continuity of functions containing sums, products, quotients, multiples, powers, and roots without looking at a graph. Knowing that a function is continuous allows us to use direct substitution to evaluate a limit.
