Chapter1 Limits and Continuity 1.1 Rates of Change and Limits Limits may fail to exist 1.2 Finding Limits and One-Sided Limits 1.3 Limits involving Infinity End Behavior Model The function g is a right end behavior model for f if and only if 2) a left end behavior model for f if and only if Finding an Oblique (slanted) asymptote 1.4 Continuity 1.5 Tangent Lines is an asymptote of the graph of f Definition A function f is continuous at a number a if f is continuous at a, then f(a) is defined (that is , a is in the domain of f) exists If one (or more ) of the three conditions in Definition is not satisfied, we say that f is discontinuous at a, or that f has a discontinuity at a. Definition A function f is continuous from the right at a number a if and f is continuous from the left at a if The kind of discontinuity illustrated in part (1) is called a removable discontinuity. a (1) In general, if a function f is not continuous at a, then it has a removable discontinuity at a number a if the right-hand and the left-hand limits exist at a and are equal; a The discontinuity in part (2) is called a jump discontinuity (2) a jump discontinuity at a if the two one-sided limits are not equal. a If f approaches +∞ or -∞ as x approaches a from either side, as, for example, in part (3), we say that f has an infinite discontinuity at a.
