This means that there are na holes, jumps, or gaps. In other words, yous be able to draw the graph ofthe function without picking up your pencl Here are thre examples of functions that ae not continuous. 1) ff) is oot defined 2) lim f(a) = DNE ay lim fox) # 1) “Kk ss ‘Definition of Continuity Continuity ot point: A function fs ayfle) is defined (exits) ery Fa) exists Min fle) = Fle) ‘Continuity on on Open interval A functions gntinuous on an open intrval (a. itis continuous at each pont n the interval, function that is ontlnuous onthe ete rel ne (=, =) everyhere continuous. tinuous at cif the folowing thee conditions are met: exsiples xelaxc0 a feat Df)= P4100 wnat Conlinuons ereeyrhee } excep!
