Sec 4: CONTINUITY & ONE-SIDED LIMITS. I. Continuity. Definition of Continuity Continuity at a Point – A function f is continuous at a point if 1. f(c) is defined 2. exists 3. *see examples.

I. Continuity • Definition of Continuity • Continuity at a Point – A function f is continuous at a point if 1. f(c) is defined 2. exists 3. *see examples
Continuity on an Open Interval – A function is continuous on an open interval (a, b) if it is continuous at each point on the interval.
II. Categories of Discontinuity • Removable - limit does exist at every point but is not continuous • Non-Removable – no limit at a point and is not continuous
Ex 1: Identifying Continuity by Graphing • Tell is the function is continuous or discontinuous. If discontinuous, what kind. • A. B. C. D. y = sin x
III. Testing for Continuity • Look for vertical asymptotes then tell the type of continuity or discontinuity. A. B. C.

IV. One-Sided Limits • Limit from the right (positive side of graph) • Limit from the left (negative side of graph)
Ex 2 • Find the limit of as x approaches -2 from the right. • Find the limit of as x approaches -2 from the left.
III. Existence of a Limit • If and then
Ex 3: Find the Limit (if it exists) A. B. C.
Ex 4 • What do you do if you cannot show work algebraically to solve a one-sided limit?
