Quality of a function:

  • At a point c if limx→cf(x)=f(c)
  • Over an open interval if every point of the interval is continuous
  • Over a closed interval if the open interval is continuous and the left / right endpoints are right / left continuous

Sidedness ​

Left continuity at c if limx→c−f(x)=f(c)
Right continuity at c if limx→c+f(x)=f(c)

Properties & theorems ​

  1. f@g is continuous at c, where @ is any of addition, subtraction, multiplication or division (when @ = division, g(c)≠0), if f and g are continuous at c
  2. f∘g is continuous at c if g is continuous at c and f is continuous at g(c)
  3. Functions continuous over their domain:
    • Polynomials
    • Rational functions
    • Root functions
    • Trigonometric functions
    • Inverse trigonometric functions
    • Exponential functions
    • Logarithmic functions

Evaluation ​

To find if f(x) is continuous at c, evaluate limx→cf(x)=f(c).
