1.6 ContinuityGoal: to determine the continuity of functions. Continuity: Let c be a number in the interval (a, b) and let f be a function whose domain contains the interval (a, b). The function f is continuous at the point c if the following conditions are true:  f(c) is defined. lim f(c) exists 	   x−>c lim f(x) = f(c) 	    x−>c If f is continuous at every point in the interval (a, b), then it is continuous on an open interval (a, b).
A polynomial function is continuous at every real number. A rational function is continuous at every number in its domain.	  Graph f(x) = x2 + x + 1, what would you say about its continuity? Continuous on (-∞, ∞)
Graph  What about its continuity? Graph  What about its continuity? If the function is defined over an interval in which c lies but f is not continuous at c, then the function is said to have a discontinuity at c.
How do we mathematically describe this? Think about how we describe domain   We have a whole in our graph at x = 2 so if we use the same  interval notation that we did with domain, we say: f(x) is continuous on (-∞, 2) U (2, ∞) This time we have an asymptote at x = 1 but again we use the same interval notation that we did with domain… f(x) is continuous on (-∞, 1) U (1, ∞)
Discontinuity: Removable:  the function can be made continuous if it is redefined. From  our previous example : this definition makes f(x) continuous  Think of it this way, the hole is like a pothole,  by redefining the domain we fill the hole with asphalt and “remove the hole”.
Discontinuity: Non-removable:  the function cannot be made continuous if it is redefined.  From  our other previous example : x = 1 is the asymptote, not just a hole in the graph. Think of it this way, if you have an asymptote, it’s like an entire roadway, we can’t just move the entire roadway.  This time the issue is “non-removable”
Continuity on a Closed Interval:Let f be defined on a closed interval [a, b]. If f is continuous on the open interval (a, b) and lim f(x) = f(a) 	x−>a+andlim f(x) = f(b)x−>b-then f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b]. Moreover, f is continuous from the right at a and continuous from the left at b.
