In each eercise, use what occurs near 3 and at 3 to graph the function in an open interval about 3. (Graphs will var.) Is it necessar to lift our pencil off the paper to obtain each graph?

Determine for what numbers a function is discontinuous. Limits and Continuit Wh ou should not ski down discontinuous slopes In everda speech, a continuous process is one that goes on without interruption and without abrupt changes. In mathematics, a continuous function has much the same meaning. The graph of a continuous function does not have interrupting breaks, such as holes, gaps, or jumps. Thus, the graph of a continuous function can be drawn without lifting a pencil off the paper. In this section, ou will learn how its can be used to describe continuit.
2 Section.3 Limits and Continuit 063 Determine whether a function is continuous at a number. Limits and Continuit Figure.2 shows three graphs that cannot be drawn without lifting a pencil from the paper. In each case, there appears to be an interruption of the graph of f at = a. = f() = f() = f() a a (a) (b) (c) Figure.2 Each graph has an interruption at = a. a Eamine Figure.2(a). The interruption occurs because the open dot indicates there is no point on the graph corresponding to = a. This shows that fa2 is not defined. Now, eamine Figure.2(b). The closed blue dot at = a shows that fa2 is defined. However, there is a jump at a. As approaches a from the left, the values of f get closer to the coordinate of the point shown b the open dot. B contrast, as approaches a from the right, the values of f get closer to the coordinate of the point shown b the closed dot. There is no single it as approaches a. The jump in the graph reflects the fact that f2 does not eist. Finall, eamine Figure.2(c). The closed blue dot at = a shows that fa2 is defined. Furthermore, as approaches a from the left or from the right, the values of f get closer to the coordinate of the point shown b the open dot. Thus, f2 eists. However, there is still an interruption at a. Do ou see wh? The it as approaches a, f2, is the coordinate of the open dot. B contrast, the value of the function at a, fa2, is the coordinate of the closed dot. The interruption in the graph reflects the fact that f2 and fa2 are not equal. We now provide a precise definition of what it means for a function to be continuous at a number. Notice how each part of this definition avoids the interruptions that occurred in Figure.2. Definition of a Function Continuous at a Number A function f is continuous at a when three conditions are satisfied.. f is defined at a; that is, a is in the domain of f, so that fa2 is a real number. 2. f2 eists. 3. f2 = fa2 If f is not continuous at a, we sa that f is discontinuous at a. Each of the functions whose graph is shown in Figure.2 is discontinuous at a. EXAMPLE Determining Whether a Function Is Continuous at a Number Determine whether the function is continuous: a. at 2; b. at. f2 = 2 2 2
3 064 Chapter Introduction to Calculus Solution According to the definition, three conditions must be satisfied to have continuit at a. 2 a. To determine whether f() = is continuous at 2, we check the 2 2 conditions for continuit with a = 2. Condition f is defined at a. Is f22 defined? f22 = Because f22 is a real number,, f22 is defined. Condition 2 f2 eists. Does f2 eist? :2 f2 = :2 :2 2 # 2 2 # = = 5 5 = = = 2 2 :2 : # 2 2 # = = 5 5 = Using properties of its, we see that f2 eists. :2 Condition 3 f2 fa2 Does f2 = f22? We found that :2 f2 = and f22 =. Thus, as gets closer to 2, the corresponding :2 values of f2 get closer to the function value at 2: f2 = f22. :2 Because the three conditions are satisfied, we conclude that f is continuous at 2. 2 b. To determine whether f() = is continuous at, we check the 2 2 conditions for continuit with a =. Condition f is defined at a. Is f2 defined? Factor the denominator of the function s equation: 2 f()= ()(2) f() = 2 2 Figure.3 f is continuous at 2. It is not continuous at or at 2. Because division b zero is undefined, the domain of f is E ƒ Z, Z 2F. Thus, f is not defined at. Because one of the three conditions is not satisfied, we conclude that f is not continuous at. Equivalentl, we can sa that f is discontinuous at. 2 The graph of f2 = is shown in Figure.3. The graph verifies 2 2 our work in Eample. Can ou see that f is continuous at 2? B contrast, it is not continuous at, where the graph has a vertical asmptote. The graph in Figure.3 also reveals a discontinuit at 2. The open dot indicates that there is no point on the graph corresponding to = Can ou see what is happening as approaches 2? 2. : = : 2 As gets closer to the graph of gets closer to 2 Because is not defined at 2, f the graph has a hole at A 2, 2 3. f 2, 3B. This is shown b the open dot in Figure.3. Check Point Determine whether the function is continuous: a. at ; b. at 2. Denominator is zero at = f2 = Denominator is zero at = 2. = : 2 = 2 = 2 3
4 Section.3 Limits and Continuit 065 Determine for what numbers a function is discontinuous. Determining Where Functions Are Discontinuous We have seen that the it of a polnomial function as approaches a is the polnomial function evaluated at a. Thus, if f is a polnomial function, then f2 = fa2 for an number a. This means that a polnomial function is continuous at ever number. Man of the functions discussed throughout this book are continuous at ever number in their domain. For eample, rational functions are continuous at ever number, ecept an at which the are not defined. At numbers that are not in the domain of a rational function, a hole in the graph or an asmptote appears. Eponential, logarithmic, sine, and cosine functions are continuous at ever number in their domain. Like rational functions, the tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions are continuous at ever number, ecept an at which the are not defined. At numbers that are not in the domain of these trigonometric functions, an asmptote occurs. Stud Tip Most functions are alwas continuous at ever number in their domain, including polnomial, rational, radical, eponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Most of the discontinuities ou will encounter in calculus will be due to jumps in piecewise functions. Eample 2 illustrates how to determine where a piecewise function is discontinuous. EXAMPLE 2 Determining Where a Piecewise Function Is Discontinuous Determine for what numbers, if an, the following function is discontinuous: 2 if 0 f2 = c 2 if if 7 Solution First, let s determine whether each of the three pieces of f is continuous. The first piece, f2 = 2, is a linear function; it is continuous at ever number. The second piece, f2 = 2, a constant function, is continuous at ever number. And the third piece, f2 = 2 2, a polnomial function, is also continuous at ever number. Thus, these three functions, a linear function, a constant function, and a polnomial function, can be graphed without lifting a pencil from the paper. However, the pieces change at = 0 and at =. Is it necessar to lift a pencil from the paper when graphing f at these values? It appears that we must investigate continuit at 0 and at. To determine whether the function is continuous at 0, we check the conditions for continuit with a = 0. Condition f is defined at a. Is f02 defined? Because a = 0, we use the first line of the piecewise function, where 0. f2 = 2 f02 = 0 2 = 2 This is the function s equation for 0, which includes = 0. Replace with 0. Because f02 is a real number, 2, f02 is defined. Condition 2 f2 eists. Does f2 eist? To answer this question, we look :0 at the values of f2 when is close to 0. Let us investigate the left and righthand its. If these its are equal, then f2 eists. To find f2, :0 :0
5 066 Chapter Introduction to Calculus 2 if 0 f2 = c 2 if if 7 The given piecewise function (repeated) the lefthand it, we look at the values of f2 when is close to 0, but less than 0. Because is less than 0, we use the first line of the piecewise function, f2 = 2 if 0. Thus, :0 f2 = 22 = 0 2 = 2. :0 To find f2, the righthand it, we look at the values of f2 when is close :0 to 0, but greater than 0. Because is greater than 0, we use the second line of the piecewise function, f2 = 2 if 0 6. Thus, f2 = 2 = 2. :0 :0 Because the left and righthand its are both equal to 2, f2 = 2. Thus, we see that f2 :0 eists. :0 Condition 3 f () f (a) Does f2 = f02? We found that f2 = 2 :0 :0 and f02 = 2. This means that as gets closer to 0, the corresponding values of f2 get closer to the function value at 0: f2 = f02. :0 Because the three conditions are satisfied, we conclude that f is continuous at 0. Now we must determine whether the function is continuous at, the other value of where the pieces change. We check the conditions for continuit with a =. Condition f is defined at a. Is f2 defined? Because a =, we use the second line of the piecewise function, where 0 6. f2 = 2 f2 = 2 This is the function s equation for 0 6, which includes =. Replace with. f() = 2, Because f2 is a real number, 2, f2 is defined. Condition 2 f () eists. Does f2 eist? We investigate left and right : hand its as approaches. To find f2, the lefthand it, we look at : values of f2 when is close to, but less than. Thus, we use the second line of the piecewise function, f2 = 2 if 0 6. The lefthand it is To find f2, the righthand it, we look at values of f2 when is : f() = 2 2, > close to, but greater than. Thus, we use the third line of the piecewise function, f2 = 2 2 if 7. The righthand it is f() = 2, 0 < Figure.4 This piecewise function is continuous at 0, where pieces change, and discontinuous at, where pieces change. The left and righthand its are not equal: f2 = 2 and f2 = 3. This means that f2 : : does not eist. : Because one of the three conditions is not satisfied, we conclude that f is not continuous at. In summar, the given function is discontinuous at onl. The graph of f, shown in Figure.4, illustrates this conclusion. Check Point 2 Determine for what numbers discontinuous: f2 = 2 = 2. : : f2 = : : 2 22 = 2 2 = 3., if an, the following function is 2 if 0 f2 = c 2 if if 7 2
