755456713The existence or nonexistence of f(x) at x=c has no bearing on the existence of what?The limit of f(x) as x approaches e1
755456714What are the three common types of behavior associated with the nonexistence of a limit?1. f(x) approaches a different number from the right side of c than it approaches from the left side of c 2. f(x) increases or decreases without bound as x approaches c (asymptote). 3. f(x) oscillates between two fixed vales as x approaches e2

755456723In common sense terms, a function is continuous at x=c if you don't have what three things at c?1. no holes 2. no jumps/gaps 3. no asymptotes11
755456724By the definition of continuity, a function is continuous at x=c if what three conditions are met?1. f(c) is defined 2. lim (x→c) f(x) exists 3. lim (x→c) f(x) = f(c)12
755456725By the definition of a limit, when does lim (x→c) f(x) = L1. limit from the right equal the limit from the left 2. lim (x→c⁺) f(x) = lim (x→c⁻) f(x) = L13
755456726Continuity can be destroyed by any one of what three conditions?1. the function is not defined at x=c 2. the limit of f(x) does not exist at x=c 3. the limit of f(x) exists at x=c, but is not equal to f(c)14
755456727When is a function continuous on the open interval (a,b)?When f is continuous at each point in the interval (a,b)15
755456728When is f continuous everywhere?When f is continuous on the entire real line (-∞,∞)16
755456729What are the two types of discontinuity?Removable and nonremovable17
755456730What is another term for non-removable discontinuity?Essential18
755456731If a discontinuity at x=c can be made continuous by appropriately defining or redefining f(c), then f has what type of discontinuityRemovable19

755456737If f and g are continuous at x=c, then what else is continuous at x=c?1. scalar multiple: bf and bg 2. sum: f+g 3. difference: f-g 4. product fg 5. Quotient: f/g if g(c)≠025
755456738What is the Intermediate Value TheoremIf f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and k is any number between f(a) and f(b), then there is at least one number c in [a,b] such that f(c)=k26
755456739What is an infinite limit?A limit in which f(x) increases or decreases with bound27
