CONTINUITY THINGS TO REMEMBER : 1. A function f(x) is said to be continuous at x = c, if Limit f(x) = f(c). Symbolically x !c f is continuous at x = c if Limit f(c - h) = Limit f(c+h) = f(c). h !0 h !0 i.e. LHL at x = c = RHL at x = c equals Value of ‘f ’ at x = c. It should be noted that continuity of a function at x = a is meaningful only if the function is defined in the immediate neighbourhood of x = a, not necessarily at x = a. 2. (i)
Reasons of discontinuity: Limit f(x) does not exist x !c i.e. Limit" f(x) ( Limit f (x) x !c
x !c #
(ii)
f(x) is not defined at x= c
(iii)
Limit f(x) ( f (c) x !c Limit, Continuity and Differentiability of Function
[3]
Geometrically, the graph of the function will exhibit a break at x= c. The graph as shown is discontinuous at x = 1 , 2 and 3. 3. Types of Discontinuities : Type - 1: ( Removable type of discontinuities) In case Limit f(x) exists but is not equal to f(c) then the function is said to have a removable discontinuity x !c
or discontinuity of the first kind. In this case we can redefine the function such that Limit f(x) = f(c) & x !c
make it continuous at x= c. Removable type of discontinuity can be further classified as : (a)
MISSING POINT DISCONTINUITY : Where Limit f(x) exists finitely but f(a) is not defined. x !a 2 sinx (1 " x )(9 " x ) e.g. f(x) = has a missing point discontinuity at x = 1 , and f(x) = has a missing point x @1 " x A discontinuity at x = 0
(b)
ISOLATED POINT DISCONTINUITY : Where Limit f(x) exists & f(a) also exists but ; Limit ( f(a). x !a x !a 2 x " 16 e.g. f(x) = , x ( 4 & f (4) = 9 has an isolated point discontinuity at x = 4. x"4 if x = I
0
6 Similarly f(x) = [x] + [ – x] = 4 5 "1
if x
BI
has an isolated point discontinuity at all x = I.
Type-2: ( Non - Removable type of discontinuities)
In case Limit f(x) does not exist then it is not possible to make the function continuous by redefining it. x !c
Such discontinuities are known as non - removable discontinuity or discontinuity of the 2nd kind. Non-removable type of discontinuity can be further classified as : (a)
Finite discontinuity e.g. f(x) = x " [x] at all integral x ; f(x) = tan ( note that f(0+) = 0 ; f(0 ) = 1 ) –
(b)
Infinite discontinuity e.g. f(x) =
1 x"4
or g(x) =
1 ( x " 4)

at x = 0 and f(x) =

and f(x) =
cosx x
at x = 0. (c)
Oscillatory discontinuity e.g. f(x) = sin 1 at x = 0. x In all these cases the value of f(a) of the function at x= a (point of discontinuity) may or may not exist but Limit does not exist. x !a
Note: From the adjacent graph note that – f is continuous at x = – 1 – f has isolated discontinuity at x = 1 – f has missing point discontinuity at x = 2 – f has non removable (finite type) discontinuity at the origin. 4.
In case of dis-continuity of the second kind the non-negative difference between the value of the RHL at x = c & LHL at x = c is called THE JUMP OF DISCONTINUITY. A function having a finite number of jumps in a given interval I is called a PIECE WISE CONTINUOUS or SECTIONALLY CONTINUOUS function in this interval.
5.
All Polynomials, Trigonometrical functions, exponential & Logarithmic functions are continuous in their domains. Limit, Continuity and Differentiability of Function
[4]
6.
If f & g are two functions that are continuous at x= c then the functions defined by : F1(x) = f(x) C g(x); F2(x) = K f(x), K any real number; F 3(x) = f(x).g(x) are also continuous at x= c. Further, if g (c) is not zero, then F4(x) =
7.
f (x) g(x)
is also continuous at x= c.
The intermediate value theorem: Suppose f(x) is continuous on an interval I , and a and b are any two points of I. Then if y 0 is a number between f(a) and f(b) , their exists a number c between a and b such that f(c) = y0. The function f, being continuous on [a,b) takes on every value between f(a) and f(b)
NOTE VERY CAREFULLY THAT : (a) If f(x) is continuous & g(x) is discontinuous at x = a then the product function 9(x) = f(x). g(x) is not necessarily be discontinuous at x = a. e.g.
6sin ?x f(x) = x & g(x) = 4 50 (b)
x(0 x*0
If f(x) and g(x) both are discontinuous at x = a then the product function 9(x) = f(x). g(x) is not necessarily be discontinuous at x = a. e.g. f(x) = " g(x) =

x>0
(c)
A Continuous function whose domain is closed must have a range also in closed interval.
(d)
If f is continuous at x = c & g is continuous at x = f(c) then the composite g[f(x)] is continuous at x = c. eg. f(x) =
x sin x x

#2
& g(x) = ExE are continuous at x = 0 , hence the composite (gof) (x) =
x sin x x2
#2
will also
be continuous at x = 0 . 7.
CONTINUITY IN AN INTERVAL :
(a)
A function f is said to be continuous in (a , b) if f is continuous at each & every point =(a , b).
(b)
A function f is said to be continuous in a closed interval :a ,b ; if :
(i) (ii)
f is continuous in the open interval (a , b) & f is right continuous at a i.e. Limit# f(x) = f(a) = a finite quantity..
(iii)
f is left continuous at b i.e. Limit f(x) = f(b) = a finite quantity..
‘
‘
’
’
x!a
x!b"
Note that a function f which is continuous in :a ,b ; possesses the following properties : (i)
If f(a) & f(b) possess opposite signs, then there exists at least one solution of the equation f(x) = 0 in t he open interval (a , b).
(ii)
If K is any real number between f(a) & f(b), then there exists at least one solution of the equation f(x) = K in the open interval (a , b).
8.
SINGLE POINT CONTINUITY: Functions which are continuous only at one point are said to exhibit single point continuity
e.g. f(x) =
x if x = Q
"x
if x B Q
and g(x) =
x if x = Q 0 if x B Q
are both continuous only at x = 0.

DIFFERENTIABILITY THINGS TO REMEMBER : 1. Right hand & Left hand Derivatives ;
By definition : f F(a) = Limit h !0 (i)
# h )"f ( a ) h
if it exist
The right hand derivative of f F at x = a denoted by f F(a+) is defined by : Limit
f ' (a+) = h ! 0 # (ii)
f ( a
f ( a
# h )"f ( a ) h
,
provided the limit exists & is finite. The left hand derivative : of f at x = a denoted by f F(a+) is defined by : –
Limit
f ' (a ) = h ! 0 #
f ( a
" h )" f ( a ) , "h
Provided the limit exists & is finite. We also write f F(a+) = f F+(a) & f F(a ) = f F_(a). * This geomtrically means that a unique tangent with finite slope can be drawn at x = a as shown in the figure. –
(iii)
Derivability & Continuity : (a) If f F(a) exists then f(x) is derivable at x= a ) f(x) is continuous at x = a. (b)
If a function f is derivable at x then f is continuous at x. f ( x # h )" f ( x ) For : f F(x) = Limit exists. h !0 h f ( x # h ) " f ( x ) Also f ( x # h ) " f ( x ) * .h [ h ( 0 ] h Therefore : f ( x # h ) " f ( x ) Limit [f ( x # h ) " f ( x )] = Limit .h * f '( x ).0 * 0 h !0 h !0 h
Therefore Limit h !0 [f ( x
# h )" f ( x )] = 0 ) Limit h !0
f (x+h) = f(x) ) f is continuous at x.
Note : If f(x) is derivable for every point of its domain of definition, then it is continuous in that domain. The Converse of the above result is not true : IF f IS CONTINUOUS AT x , THEN f IS DERIVABLE AT x IS NOT TRUE. 1 e.g. the functions f(x) = E x E & g(x) = x sin ; x ( 0 & g(0) = 0 are continuous at x x = 0 but not derivable at x = 0. NOTE CAREFULLY : (a) Let f F+(a) = p & f F_(a) = q where p & q are finite then : (i) p = q ) f is derivable at x = a ) f is continuous at x = a. (ii) p ( q ) f is not derivable at x = a. It is very important to note that f may be still continuous at x = a. In short, for a function f : Differentiability ) Continuity ; Continuity ) G derivability ; “

But discontinuity ) Non derivability
If a function f is not differentiable but is continuous at x = a it geometrically implies a sharp corner at x = a. Limit, Continuity and Differentiability of Function

(i) (ii)
DERIVABILITY OVER AN INTERVAL : f (x) is said to be derivable over an interval if it is derivable at each & every point of the interval f(x) is said to be derivable over the closed interval [a, b] if : for the points a and b, f F(a+) & f F(b ") exist & for any point c such that a < c < b, f F(c+) & f F(c ") exist & are equal.
NOTE : 1. If f(x) & g(x) are derivable at x = a then the functions f(x) + g(x), f(x) " g(x) , f(x).g(x) will also be derivable at x = a & if g (a) ( 0 then the function f(x)/g(x) will also be derivable at x = a. 2. If f(x) is differentiable at x = a & g(x) is not differentiable at x = a , then the product function F(x) = f(x). g(x) can still be differentiable at x = a e.g. f(x) = x & g(x) = ExEH 3. If f(x) & g(x) both are not differentiable at x = a then the product function ; F(x) = f(x). g(x) can still be differentiable at x = a e.g. f(x) = ExE & g(x) = ExE. 4. If f(x) & g(x) both are non-deri. at x = a then the sum function F(x) = f(x) + g(x) may be a differentiable function. e.g. f(x) = ExE & g(x) = "ExEH If f(x) is derivable at x = a ) G f F(x) is continuous at x = a.

A surprising result : Suppose that the function f (x) and g (x) defined in the interval (x1, x2) containing the point x0, and if f is differentiable at x = x0 with f (x0) = 0 together with g is continuous as x = x 0 then the function F (x) = f (x) · g (x) is differentiable at x = x0 e.g. F (x) = sinx · x2/3 is differentiable at x = 0.
