LESSON 2: CONTINUITY AND LIMITS

LESSON 2: CONTINUITY AND LIMITS

Let f(x) be a function of x and let a be constant. If there is a


number L such that, in order to make the value of f(x) as close to
L as may be desired, it is sufficient to choose x close enough to a,
but different from a, then we say that the limit of f(x), as x
approaches a, is L.
Lim f(x) = L
x a
which is read “the limit of f(x), as x approaches a, is L.”

THEOREMS OF
LIMITS
THEOREM 1. The limit of the sum of two (or more) functions is equal
to the sum of their limits.
Lim [u(x) + v(x)] = Lim u(x) + Lim v(x)]
x a x a x a

THEOREM 2. The limit of the product of two (or more) functions is


equal to the product of their limits.
Lim [u(x) v(x)] = [Lim u(x)] [Lim v(x)]
x a x a x a

THEOREM 3. The limit of the quotient of two functions is equal to the
quotient of their limits, provided the limit of the denominator is not zero.

CONTINUITY &
A function f(x) DISCONTINUITY
is said to be continuous at x = a if all three of the
following conditions are satisfied:

1. f(a) exists
2. Lim f(x) exists
x a

3. f(a) = Lim f(x)


x a

A function f(x) is said to be discontinuous at x = a if any one, or


more, of conditions (1), (2), (3) is not satisfied.

Points of Discontinuity:

Let the denominator = 0;


and solve for x
