GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS COLLEGEgustavus.edu MCS 118, 9/26/13Slide #7 Analyze a function for continuity Graph it Look at left-hand and right-hand limits If they’re equal, then the function has a removable discontinuity If they both exist, but aren’t equal, then the function has a jump discontinuity (which is non- removable) Otherwise, there’s a non-removable discontinuity
