Continuity and One Sided Limits
(special case of when lim L ≠ lim R)*finger test*
we want more information of where left and where right
the limit still DNE)
Objective: You will be able to:• define continuity• evaluate one sided limits• graph a piecewise function to represent the given information for limits.
Not in our book!

A function is continuous at c if...
1. f (c) is defined (the point exists)
2. lim f (x) exists (the limit exists)
3. f (c) = lim f (x) (the point = the limit)
x c
x c

Three conditions exist for which the graph of f is not continuous at x = c.
1. Why is this not continuous?
not continuous because f(c) is not defined(the point DNE)

3. Why is this not continuous?
not continuous because f(c) ≠ lim f(x)
point DNE the limit

Discontinuities can be ...
1. Removable
2. Nonremovable
Only discontinuities at one spot and could be fixed by redefining f (c)
Big gaps or asymptotes, cannot be "fixed"

1. Removable: only discontinuities at one spot and could be fixed by redefining f (c)
ex. f(x) = x2 ‐ 4
x ‐ 2
if f(x) = { x2 ‐ 4 x ‐ 2
4
, x ≠ 2
, x = 2
then it would becontinuous
f(x)= x+2twin function looks the same in all but one point
Rewrite as a piecewise function

Big gaps or asymptotes, cannot be "fixed"
ex. f(x) = 1

Classifying Discontinuities
Removable or point (Holes) 2 sided limit exists
Essential or Nonremovable
Jump1 sided limits exist
Infinite (vertical asymptotes) at least one of the 1 sided limits don't exist
