Section 1.4 Target Goals: 1. Be able to evaluate continuity of a function using left and right hand limits 2. Be able to apply the Intermediate Value Theorem to closed interval functions. Continuity and One-Sided Limits
Definition of continuity • A function f(x) is continuous at x=c if all of the following conditions exist: • The function has a value at x=c, i.e., f(c) exists. • The limit exists at c (check left and right hand sides). • The limit at c = f(c).
A function is everywhere continuous if it is continuous at each point in its domain. • A function is continuous on an interval if it is continuous at every point on that interval.
Example 1 • Is the function continuous at x=2? • Does f(2) exist? • Does the limit exist at x=2? • Does the limit equal f(2)? YES! The function is CONTINUOUS!! YES! 3 3 YES! YES!
Example 2 • Is the function continuous at x=2? • Does f(2) exist? • Does the limit exist at x=2? • Does the limit equal f(2)? YES! 3 5 NO! NOT CONTINUOUS at x = 2!
Types of Discontinuities • Jump discontinuity - the curve breaks at a particular place and starts somewhere else (non-removable) • Point discontinuity - curve has a hole in it and a point that’s off of the curve (removable) • Essential discontinuity - vertical asymptote (non-removable)
Ex 3) Examples of Discontinuities IF the function is continuous, then the limit must exist!
Ex 4) Where does the following function have… • An essential discontinuity? At vertical asymptotes! x = -4 • A removable discontinuity? What can you cancel? x = 5
Intermediate Value Theorem • If f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and k is any number between f(a) and f(b), then there is at least one number c in [a,b] such that f(c)=k. f(a) f (c) = k f(b) c a b
Ex 5) Example applying IVT Verify that the IVT applies to the given function on the given interval. Then find the value of c guaranteed by the theorem such that f(c) = 0. 1. Is f (x) continuous on [0, 3]? 2. Is 0 in the interval [f (0), f ( 3)]? Yes Yes
Target Goals • Be able to evaluate continuity of a function using left and right hand limits. • Be able to apply the Intermediate Value Theorem to closed interval functions.
