For the following exercises, determine whether or not the given function is continuous everywhere. If it is continuous everywhere it is defined, state for what range it is continuous. If it is discontinuous, state where it is discontinuous.
Determine the values of and such that the following function is continuous on the entire real number line.
For the following exercises, refer to [link] . Each square represents one square unit. For each value of determine which of the three conditions of continuity are satisfied at and which are not.
For the following exercises, use a graphing utility to graph the function as in [link] . Set the x -axis a short distance before and after 0 to illustrate the point of discontinuity.
Which conditions for continuity fail at the point of discontinuity?
Solve for if
For the following exercises, consider the function shown in [link] .
At what x -coordinates is the function discontinuous?
What condition of continuity is violated at these points?
At the limit does not exist. At does not exist.
At there appears to be a vertical asymptote, and the limit does not exist.
Consider the function shown in [link] . At what x -coordinates is the function discontinuous? What condition(s) of continuity were violated?
Construct a function that passes through the origin with a constant slope of 1, with removable discontinuities at and
The function is graphed in [link] . It appears to be continuous on the interval but there is an x -value on that interval at which the function is discontinuous. Determine the value of at which the function is discontinuous, and explain the pitfall of utilizing technology when considering continuity of a function by examining its graph.
Find the limit and determine if the following function is continuous at
The function is discontinuous at because the limit as approaches 1 is 5 and
The graph of is shown in [link] . Is the function continuous at Why or why not?
