What have you learned from our last discussion?
What did you remember about continuity on an interval?
How can we say that the functions are continuous?

Very Good! I am glad that all of you learned from our

discussion last time.

E. Motivation
RAISE YOUR ANSWER
Group the class into three groups. Each member
of the group should join the game. Teacher will
flash the graph of the function together with the
given points and different intervals. Each group
should trace the graph and write the if the graph
is continuous or discontinuous. The group will
show the word first will receive a badge.

a. x=3
b. x=4
c.
x=6
d.

x=−2

e. (0,+∞ )
f. (-∞ ,-0.5)
g. (4,6)
h. (-3,-1)
i. (-2,0)
j. (4 ,∞ )

Since, you are familiar in determining the functions if

continuous or discontinuous, now we can proceed to our next
topic today. We all know that the functions are discontinuous
if we are lifting our pen/pencil when we are tracing the graph
of the functions. Let us talk about the different types of
discontinuities.

From our previous lesson, a function f (x) is said to be

continuous at x=c if the following three conditions are
satisfied:

i. f ( c ) ∃;
ii. lim f ( x ) exists; and
x →c

iii. f ( c ) =lim f ( x )
x→ c

Now, the functions are not always continuous, sometimes it is

discontinuous. There are different types of discontinuities.

REMOVABLE DISCONTINUITY

A function f ( x ) is said to have a removable discontinuity at

x=c if;
i. lim f ( x ) exists; and
x →c

ii. either f (c ) does not exist of f (c )≠ lim f ( x ).

x→ c

It is said to be removable because the discontinuity may be

removed by redefining f (c ) so that it will equal lim f ( x ). In
x →c

other words, if lim f ( x )=L, a removable discontinuity is

x →c
remedied by the redefinition:
Let f ( c ) =L

Also, removable discontinuity occurs when there is a hole in

the graph of the function as well as if the function is
indeterminate.

Take a look at the three graphs.

The discontinuity of g at the point x=1 is manifested by the

hole in the graph of y=g (x) at the point (1,2). This is due to
the fact that g(1) is equal to 1 and not 2, while lim g ( x )=2
x →1
. We now demonstrate how this kind of a discontinuity may
be removed:

Let g ( 1 )=2.

This is called a redefinition of g at x=1. The redefinition

results in a “transfer” of the point (1,1) to the hole at (1,2). In
effect, the hole is filled and the discontinuity is removed. This
is why the discontinuity is called a removable one. This is
also why, sometimes, it is called a hole discontinuity.

JUMP ESSENTIAL DISCONTINUITY

A function f (x) is said to have an essential discontinuity at
x=c if lim f ( x ) DNE.
x →c

Case 1: If for a function, lim f ( x ) DNE because the limits

x →c
from the left and right x=c both exist but are not equal, then
f is said to have a jump essential discontinuity at x=c .

h ( x )=
{ x+ 1if x < 4 ,
(x−4)2 +3 if x ≥ 4

So, this jump

essential discontinuity occurs when the graph of the function
stops at one point and seems to jump to another point.

ASYMPTOTIC/ INFINITE DISCONTINUITY
Case 2: If a function f (x) is such that lim f ( x ) DNE
x →c
because either
i. lim ¿ or
−¿
x→ c f ( x ) =+∞ , ¿

ii. lim ¿or

−¿
x→ c f ( x ) =+∞ , ¿

iii. lim ¿ or
+¿
x→ c f ( x ) =+∞ ,¿

iv. lim ¿
+¿
x→ c f ( x ) =−∞ ,¿

Then f ( x ) is said to have an infinite discontinuity at

x=c .
1
j ( x )= , x ≠ 0
x

Because the limits are infinite, the limits from both the left
and the right of x=0 do not exist, and the discontinuity
cannot be removed. Also, the absence of a left-hand (or right-
hand) limit from which to “jump” to the other part of the
graph means the discontinuity is permanent.
A. Activity

For each function whose graph is given below, identify the

type(s) of discontinuity(ies) exhibited. Remedy any
removable discontinuity with an appropriate redefinition.

1. y=f (x )

2. y=g (x)

y= j(x)

B. Analysis

To further understand our lesson, let us have some

examples.

{

Example 1: Consider g ( x )=
x −1, x ≠ 0
0 , x=0
Determine if g is continuous at x=0.
Solution: The graph of g is given by:

1. g ( 0 )=0∃;
2. lim g ( x )=−1;
x →0

3. g ( 0 )=0≠−1=lim g ( x ) .
x →0

Thus, g(x ) has a removable discontinuity at x=0 .

To remove the discontinuity, redefine p g ( 0 )=−1. We have
the new graph of g(x ).

Therefore,
g ( 0 )=−1=lim g ( x ) and hence, g(x ) is now continuous
x→ 0
at x=0.

EXAMPLE 2: Determine if j ( x )= is continuous at
x+ 2
x=−2.

Solution: The function values

from the left of -2 go to ∞ while from the left, they approach
-∞ . Therefore, h( x) has an infinite essential discontinuity at
x=−2.
EXAMPLE 3: Given the function

{
g ( x )= |2x|, x ≤−1
x −1, x >−1

Determine if g is continuous at x=−1.

Solution: From the graph above, lim ¿ and

−¿
x→−1 g ( x ) =1 ¿
