Overview

Continuity and Differentiability are fundamental concepts in calculus that describe the smoothness and rate of change of functions. While continuity ensures a function has no breaks or jumps, differentiability tells us whether a function has a well-defined slope at every point. This chapter extends

Key Concepts

A function f is continuous at

A function f is continuous at point c if three conditions are satisfied: (1) f(c) is defined, (2) lim(x→c) f(x) exists, and (3) lim(x→c) f(x) = f(c).

A function is continuous on

A function is continuous on an interval if it is continuous at every point within that interval. For closed intervals [a,b], continuity at endpoints m

Points where a function fails

Points where a function fails to be continuous. Common types include: (1) Jump discontinuity (left and right limits exist but differ), (2) Removable d

If f and g are continuous

If f and g are continuous at c, then: (1) f+g is continuous, (2) f-g is continuous, (3) f·g is continuous, (4) f/g is continuous (if g(c)≠0). These ru

A function f is differentiable at

A function f is differentiable at c if the derivative f'(c) = lim(h→0)[f(c+h)-f(c)]/h exists and is finite. Both left and right derivatives must exist
