14015124773continuous function*a graph you can draw without picking up your pencil *the limit as x approaches any a is always equal to the value of the function at a.0
14015124774discontinuous functionA function with a jump, hole, or asymptote.1
14015124775step discontinuity (jump)A discontinuity for which the graph steps or jumps from one connected piece of the graph to another.2
14015124776removable discontinuity (hole)A removable discontinuity is a point on the graph that is missing or separate from the rest of the function.3
14015124777Infinite discontinuityA graph which approaches one or more asymptotes, resulting in a graph that cannot be drawn without lifting up your pencil.4
14015124778limitA prediction of a function's y value based on it's behavior at x-values very close to the point you're interested in.5
14015124780definition of continuityf(x) is continuous iff the function is defined at x = a, the limit of f(x) as x -> a exists, and the limit of f(x) as x -> a = f(a).6

Need Notes?

While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using!
