Mathematically, we say that the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2 is 4. As the values of x approach 2 from either side of 2, the values of y f(x) approach 4. Calculus is also called infinitesimal calculus or the calculus of infinitesimals. Let’s first take a closer look at how the function f(x) (x2 4) / (x 2) behaves around x 2 in Figure 1.1.1.

Another definition for continuity is that: 'L.H.L R.H.L value of function at that point'. Students cultivate their understanding of differential and integral calculus through engaging with real-world problems represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally and using definitions and theorems to build arguments and justify conclusions as they explore concepts like change, limits, and the analysis of functions. So,with this definition we can say that a constant function is discontinuous.

Definition of continuity is that for small changes in the input there should be small changes in the output.Otherwise the function is discontinuous.

Therefore, we can say that there is a removeable discontinuty at. To develop calculus for functions of one variable, we needed to make sense of the concept of a limit, which we needed to understand continuous functions and. However, if we were to just define, then we could essentially "remove" this discontinuity. What this means is that will look just like the parabola with the equation EXCEPT when, where there will be a hole in the graph. Notice that we could simplify as follows:Īs we can see, the limit of exists at, even though is undefined. Put another way, if there is a removeable discontinuity at, then the limit as approaches exists, but the value of does not.įor example, the function contains a removeable discontinuity at. A removeable discontinuity occurs whenever there is a hole in a graph that could be fixed (or "removed") by filling in a single point.
