5.1 Overview
Let f be a real function on a subset of the real numbers and let c be a point in the
domain of f. Then f is continuous at c if
lim f ( x) = f (c)
x c
More elaborately, if the left hand limit, right hand limit and the value of the function
at x = c exist and are equal to each other, i.e.,

The function defined by f (x) = lim , wherever the limit exists, is

defined to be the derivative of f at x. In other words, we say that a function f is
f (c + h ) f (c )
differentiable at a point c in its domain if both lim , called left hand

5.1.15 Rolles Theorem
Let f : [a, b] R be continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b), such that f (a)
= f (b), where a and b are some real numbers. Then there exists at least one point c in
(a, b) such that f (c) = 0.
CONTINUITY AND DIFFERENTIABILITY 91
Geometrically Rolles theorem ensures that there is at least one point on the curve
y = f (x) at which tangent is parallel to x-axis (abscissa of the point lying in (a, b)).
5.1.16 Mean Value Theorem (Lagrange)
Let f : [a, b] R be a continuous function on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b). Then
f (b) f (a)
there exists at least one point c in (a, b) such that f (c) = .
b a
Geometrically, Mean Value Theorem states that there exists at least one point c in
(a, b) such that the tangent at the point (c, f (c)) is parallel to the secant joining the
points (a, f (a) and (b, f (b)).

Thus, f is continuous at x = 0 if k = 1.
Example 2 Discuss the continuity of the function f(x) = sin x . cos x.
Solution Since sin x and cos x are continuous functions and product of two continuous
function is a continuous function, therefore f(x) = sin x . cos x is a continuous function.

Similarly lim f ( x) lim x sin 0 . Moreover f (0) = 0.

Solution We may rewrite f as f ( x ) = 2

f (0 + h) f (0) h2 0
Now Lf (0) = lim = lim = lim h = 0
h 0 h h 0 h h0
f (0 + h) f (0) h2 0
Now Rf (0) = lim+ = lim+ = lim h = 0
h 0 h h0 h h0
Since the left hand derivative and right hand derivative both are equal, hence f is
differentiable at x = 0.
