A function is continuous at
, if
then it should satisfy three conditions :
(1) is defined.
(2) exists.
(3) .
If does not satisfies any of these three conditions, then
is said to be discontinuous.
Observe the graph.
\The curve lies between to
.
The solid dot represents the value of the function included in the function and
\hallow circle represents the value of the function excluded from the function.
\The solid dot represents that the function is continuous at .
The hallow circle represents that the function is not continuous at .
The curve in the interval is continuous.
Observe the graph.
