1-4 Continuity Continuous : Goes on forever with no breaks, no holes, jumps, asymptote Discontinuity : 1.Hole 2.Jump: Step Discontinuity (Piecewise function) 3.Asymptote (no bounds) Removable or non-removable discontinuity
Definition of continuity at any point: 1. f(c) exist (y- coordinate exist) Eliminates: functions w/ holes 2. The y-coordinate we are approaching Eliminates: jumps & asymptote 3. AP standard : Make sure we know the definition of continuous
Prove f(x) is continuous for all values? 1. f(0) = 0+1 = 1 2.One-side limits 3. Doesn't work: therefore the function is not continuous All polynomials are continuous (0,1)
You try: 1. f(c) exist 2. 3.
AP TEST (Free response) Find the k value such that f(x) is continuous for all value
Guess
AP TEST (Free response) Find the k value such that f(x) is continuous for all value What does this say ?
Guess
More examples find the value of the constant (a, b, or c) that makes the function continuous.
