CONTINUITY A function f is CONTINUOUS AT THE POINT = c if: (a) lim f() eists;!c (b) f(c) eists; (c) lim f() = f(c)!c If one or more of the three conditions fails, then f is DISCONTINUOUS at = c. A function is CONTINUOUS ON THE OPEN INTERVAL (a, b) if it is continuous at each point on the interval. 2. ONE-SIDED CONTINUITY A function f is CONTINUOUS ON THE LEFT AT = c if lim f() = f(c); f is CONTINUOUS ON THE RIGHT AT = c!c if lim f() = f(c).!c The function f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] if it is continuous on the open interval (a, b), and is continuous on the right at a and continuous on the left at b. 3. CONTINUITY PROPERTIES OF SOME SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS (a) A constant function, f() = k, is continuous for all. (b) For n a positive integer, f() = n is continuous for all. (c) A polynomial function P() = a n n a n-1 n-1... a 1 a 0 is continuous for all. EXERCISE
2 (d) A rational function R() = P() Q(), P and Q polynomial functions, is continuous for all ecept those numbers = c such that Q(c) = 0. (e) For n an odd positive integer, n > 1, wherever f is continuous. n f() is continuous (f) For n an even positive integer, n f() is continuous wherever f is continuous and non-negative. 4. SIGN PROPERTIES ON AN INTERVAL (a, b) If f is continuous or (a, b) and f() 0 for all in (a, b), then either f() > 0 for all in (a, b) or f() < 0 for all in (a, b). 5. CONSTRUCTING SIGN CHARTS Given a function f: Step 1. Find all partition numbers. That is: (A) Find all numbers where f is discontinuous. (Rational functions are discontinuous for values of that make a denominator 0.) (B) Find all numbers where f() = 0. (For a rational function, this occurs where the numerator is 0 and the denominator is not 0.) Step 2. Plot the numbers found in step 1 on a real number line, dividing the number line into intervals. Step 3. Select a test number in each open interval determined in step 2, and evaluate f() at each test number to determine whether f() is positive () or negative (-) in each interval. Step 4. Construct a sign chart using the real number line in step 2. This will show the sign of f() on each open interval. [Note: From the sign chart, it is easy to find the solution for the inequality f() < 0 or f() > 0.] 1. f is continuous at = 1, since lim f() = f(1) = 2!1 f() f is discontinuous at = 1, since lim f() f(1)!1 f() CHAPTER 3 LIMITS AND THE DERIVATIVE
