Continuity & Discontinuity

Overview

A function is continuous at a point if its limit equals its value there. Discontinuities break this condition in different ways.

Key Concepts

1

Continuous at a: lim_{x→a} f(x) = f(a)

2

Types of discontinuity: removable, jump, infinite

3

Intermediate Value Theorem applies to continuous functions
