  • I explain how to test for Continuity at a given point and find Discontinuities in functions. I finish by working through a couple of examples. EXAMPLES 4:57 10:57. Though I say smooth and continuous a few times in this video, a function does not have to be smooth to be continuous.

  • @profrobbob
    @profrobbob  Před 11 lety

    Thank you. I made this video while teaching out of my PreCalculus book. I am glad the definition is on the board when I said smooth and continuous, and I included a piecewise function which was not smooth. So many problems in the PreCalc book where polynomials, that just got stuck in my head:) I added an annotation in the video to clarify that smooth is not a requirement. I made a new video that is better for Calculus including open and closed intervals and with more examples.

    Professor RobBob, thank you for another amazing video/lecture on Limits and Continuity in Precalculus/Calculus One AB. The definition of Continuity and Limits are very important in Calculus and students should be well aware of these terms in Applied and advanced Mathematics. Problems solving will only help students to fully understand these terms.

  • @profrobbob
    @profrobbob  Před 10 lety

    In the first example I have a rational function where the numerator and denominator are Polynomials. So, if the function is undefined there is either a hole or an asymptote and this will occur where the denominator is zero. With this knowledge I do not need to find the existence of the limit by finding the left and right limits separately like I always do for piecewise functions.

    WOW!!! I've been watching your videos since last year, in trig I completed the semester with a 100% receiving only one 99, i found your videos extremely helpful and you teach in such a way that it makes the material so simple to comprehend! I've now began my journey through cal 1 and my teacher is just a bust, i come home watch your vids and go the study group and look like a math god with simpler and more understandable techniques! thanks so much always recommending your channel to friends!!:D

  • @profrobbob
    @profrobbob  Před 12 lety

    For a limit to exist at a particular value of x the left and right limits must be equal. Polynomials are smooths and continuous graphs. Since we know this, and the numerator and denominator are both have polynomials, we can find those limits in one step as I have shown. For say a piecewise function, you will have to show the work where you are finding both the left sided limit and then the right limit and then checking if they are equal for the limit to exist at that value of x.

    That was an A or B question...not yes or no. I am assuming your mean vertical asymptotes. I need to fill in that gap in my videos but it will be about a week before I can get that recorded.

    what made you come to the conclusion at 10:38? like how were you able to tell that 1/3 made f(x)=f(1)???

    in the first example (whether the function is continuous at a=1) do u have to find only one single limit (either that approaches from the left or that approaches from the right)?
