Mathematics I / Continuity
Practice question · True or false

Continuity at a point requires three separate conditions, and the limit existing is only one of them.

Hints
  1. What else must hold?
  2. The value must exist, and match.
Show the answer

True

Why

True. f(a)f(a) must be defined, limxaf(x)\lim_{x\to a} f(x) must exist, and the two must be equal. A removable discontinuity satisfies the second and fails the third; a function undefined at aa fails the first. Each condition rules out a different failure, which is why the definition lists all three.
