10.3 Continuity
Example 3 – Discontinuities
a. When does a function have infinite
discontinuity?
Solution:
A function has infinite discontinuity at a when at least
one of the one-sided limits is either ∞ or −∞ as x →a.
b. Find discontinuity for
Solution:
f is defined at x = 0 but limx→0 f (x) does not exist. f is
discontinuous at 0.
