Continuity Worksheets
Evaluate limits with the approach direction stated and distinguish limits from function values.
Before you begin
Manipulate algebraic expressions and understand functions, limits and derivative notation.
Worked example
For x ≠ 4, f(x) = x² + 7. Define f(4) = K. What K makes f continuous at x = 4?
- Continuity requires the function value to equal the two-sided limit.
- Evaluate the continuous polynomial at the missing point.
