What is Continuity?

A function “f” is said to be continuous in a closed interval [a, b] if

  • f is continuous in (a, b)
  • limx→a+ f(x) = f(a)
  • limx→b- f(x) = f(b)

Assume, “f” is a real function on a subset of real numbers and “c” is a point in the domain of f. Then f is continuous at c if,

limx→c f(x) = f(c)

Real Life Applications of Continuity

Continuity is one of the basic properties of functions that help us to predict the flow of functions without abrupt changes. In mathematics, a function is said to be continuous in a given interval if there is no break in the graph of the function in the entire interval range.

In this article, we take a look at continuity in real-life situations and its correct use in difficult situations.
