discontinuity

- Examples

%%visits: 3 ## introduction ## intuition

Point discontinuity can be less obvious than the others.

Point discontinuity:~ This is where left limit = right limit but “centre” point is not defined, so it continuous at a point but not continuous at an interval.

removable discontinuit := Point discontinuity :~ both left and right limit at x0 exist, and they are the same, but the point x0 is not the same, e.g y = x2 with x = 0, y = 5

jump discontinuit := both limits exist but they are not equal to each other :~ the is a jump in the graph.

Infinite discontinuit := 1 of the left or right limits are infinite, e.g. $f(x)=\frac{1}{x}$ at x = 0

Oscillatory discontinuit := at least one of the limits do not exist. e.g. $\sin \left( \frac{1}{x} \right)$ ## rigour ## exam clinic ## resources tags :math:
