  1. Chabot Mathematics §1.6 Limits& Continuity Bruce Mayer, PE Licensed Electrical & Mechanical EngineerBMayer@ChabotCollege.edu
  
  2. 1.5 Review § • Any QUESTIONS About • §1.5 → Limits • Any QUESTIONS About HomeWork • §1.5 → HW-05
  
  3. §1.6 Learning Goals • Compute and use one-sided limits • Explore the concept of continuity and examine the continuity of several functions • Investigate the intermediate value property
  
  4. Limits • Limits are a very basic aspect of calculus which needs to be taught first, after reviewing old material. • The concept of limits is very important, since we will need to use limits to make new ideas and formulas in calculus. • In order to understand calculus, limits are very fundamental to know!
  
  5. Continuous Functions • Generally Speaking A function is very likely to be “continuous” if: The graph has no holes or gaps and can be drawn on a piece of paper without lifting The Drawing Instrument(Pencil or Pen)
  
  6. Smooth Functions • Generally Speaking A function is very likely to be “smooth” if: The graph of the function is a “flowing” curve. This means that the graph of the function does not contain any “sharp” corners • Smoothness Analysis will be covered after we learn how to evaluate the “Slope” of curved lines
  
  7. Continuous vs. DisContinuous • CONTINUOUS Function Plot • DIScontinuousFunction Plot
  
  8. Smooth vs. Kinked/Cornered • SMOOTH-Curved Function Plot • SHARP-Cornered Function Plot
  
  9. ONEsided Limits - From LEFT • If f(x) Approaches L as x→c from the Left; i.e., x<c, write: • See Graph at Right
  
  10. ONEsided Limits – From RIGHT • If f(x) Approaches L as x→c from the Left; i.e., x<c, write: • See Graph at Right
  
  11. Example  PieceWiseFcn • Find the OneSidedLimits for Function: • Compute the one-sided limits of f(x) as xapproaches 1
  
  12. Example  OneSided Limits • SOLUTION • Need to Determine: • Because the function is defined by the first expression for values of x ≤1, have • Also the fcn is defined by the second expression for values of x >1, have
  
  13. Example  OneSided Limits • SOLUTION • ReCall the Requirement for Limit Existence • For the Given Fcn use the Transitive Property to Recognize that the Limit x→1 Does Not Exist as

  15. Continuity Analysis • DEFININITION: A function, f(x) is continuous at a point c If and Only If The limit of f(x) is independent of the direction of Approach; that is the fcn is continuous if: • Note that this a Necessary AND Sufficient, Condition
  
  16. Example  Continuity • Consider Function: • See Graph at Right • Determine if the Function is Continuous at • x = 4 • x = 5 • Use BiLateral Approach Limit Test
  
  17. Example  Continuity • Find for x = 4 The BiLateral Limits • At x = 3.9999 • At x = 4.0001 • By the PolyNomial Limit Rule • The Left Approach (3.9999) and the Right Approach (4.0001) Both Lead to 235, thus the fcn IS Continuous at x = 4
  
  18. Example  Continuity • Now Check Continuity at x = 5 • Use Approach Tables • From Approach Tables Note:
  
  19. PieceWise Continuity • A NONontinuousPieceWise-Defined Function can be made continuous thru the process of Break-Point Matching. • BreakPoint Matching • One Fcn Left Unchanged • At Least ONE Variable-Term in the other Fcn is multiplied by a CONSTANT • The two Fcns are then equated at the BreakPoint Value
  
  20. Example  Make Continuous • Consider the Fcn: • This Fcn isNONcontinuous asshown in the Plot • Make this Plot Continuous for Constants P & Q:
  
  21. Example  Continuous at 8 • The FineTunedFcn • ThePlot
  
  22. Example  Continuous at −13 • The FineTunedFcn • ThePlot

  25. Intermediate Value Theorem • If f(x) is a continuous function on a closed interval [a, b] and L is any number between f(a) and f(b), then there is at least one number c in [a, b] such that f(c) = L f(b) f(c) = L f(a) a c b
  
  26. Example  IVT • Given Fcn → • Show That f(x)=0 has a solution on [1,2] • SOLUTION • Since the Function is a PolyNomial the Fcn IS Continuous for all x • Check Interval EndPoints
  
  27. Example  IVT • STATE: f(x) is continuous (polynomial) and since f(1) < 0 and f(2) > 0, by the Intermediate Value Theorem there exists c on [1, 2] such that f(c) = 0. (c,0)
