Section 2.8 - Continuity I can determine where functions are continuous and discontinuous 2.2
Vocab Continuous: A function f(x) is continuous at x = c if and only if all three of the following tests hold: Discontinuous: holes, vertical asymptotes, jumps in the graph Right continuous: Left continuous: Point (Removable) Discontinuity: hole in the graph, which can be removed if you redefine the hole Infinite Discontinuity: vertical asymptote exists Jump Discontinuity: The graph jumps which allows the limit to not exist.
Example of Removable Discontinuity Point Discontinuity: Can be removed if we add a point:
A function f(x) is continuous at x = c if and only if all three of the following tests hold: f(x) is right continuous at x = -5 f(x) is continuous at x = -4 f(x) has infinite discontinuity at x = -3[i, iii] f(x) has point discontinuity at x = -2 [i, iii] f(x) has infinite discontinuity at x = -1[i, ii, iii] f(x) is continuous at x = 0
At x = 1 At x = 2 At x = 3 At x = 4 At x = 5 Point Discontinuity [i, iii] Jump Discontinuity [i, ii, iii] Continuous Continuous Point Discontinuity [i, (ii), iii]

Find the value of a which makes the function below continuous
Consider the function Find the value of k which makes f(x) continuous at x = 0 , if k =1, the hole is filled. Since
