AP Calculus AB Objectives: Determine continuity at a point, determine one-sided limits, understand the Intermediate Value Theorem
Removable Discontinuity (RD) If f(x) can be made continuous by appropriately defining or redefining f(c). If we can “fix” the function by filling in the hole. A general limit must exist there.
Non-Removable Discontinuity (NRD) No way to redefine f(x) to make it continuous. There is a break, jump or asymptote. The function has NO general limit at the given x-value.
x = 0 Vertical Asymptote
(1,2) x = 1 Hole: Factoring Tech
Continuous for All Real x-values (0, 1)
Continuous for All Real x-values
x = -1 and 1 Asymptotes from Factoring
x = 3 Hole from Factoring x = -3 Asymptote from Factoring
Intermediate Value Theorem Pg. 77 If f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] and k is any number between f(a) and f(b), then there is at least one number c in [a, b] such that f(c) = k. Lesson 5 and 6
