Layman Definition
Any function f(x) is said to be continuous if we can draw the
graph of that function without lifting pen

Continuity at a point
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at x = a, if

f(x) is continuous Limit will exist

⇒
f(x) is continuous f(a) will be defined

Continuity is always talked in the domain of function

f(x)= are all continuous functions in its domain

is discontinuous at x = 1, is discontinuous at x = 0.
Point function are continuous.
Point function are continuous.

E.g.
Inverse of a discontinuous function cannot be continuous.
Example
f(x) = find whether the f(x) is continuous at x = 0

or not.
Example
f(x) = is continuous, find b.
Example Let f(x) = . Discuss the continuity of f(x) at x = 0
Example Find the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’ so that the function

f(x) = is continuous in [0, π]

Example Find the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’ so that the function

f(x) = is continuous in [0, π]

Example

Determine ‘a’ if possible so that the function is continuous at x = 0

Example

Determine ‘a’ if possible so that the function is continuous at x = 0

Example

Find ‘a’ and ‘b’ if f is continuous at x = 0

Example

Find ‘a’ and ‘b’ if f is continuous at x = 0

Continuity in open interval:

A function f is said to be continuous in (a, b) if f is continuous at

each & every point in (a, b)
Continuity in close interval:

A function f is said to be continuous in a closed interval [a, b] if

1. f is continuous in the open interval (a, b) &

2. f is right continuous at ‘a’ i.e. f(x) = f(a) = a finite quantity

3. f is left continuous at ‘a’ i.e. f(x) = f(b) = a finite quantity.

Continuity in close interval:
Example What value must be assigned to k so that the function f(x) is
continuous x = 4?
