Appendix F
On Continuous Functions
What Functions are Continuous
The following theorem will help you quickly identify
continuous functions in any calculus course that you
take.
Therem F.1.[Identification of Continuous Functions]
- If f(x) is differentiable at x = x1
then f(x) is continuous at x = x1.
In other words, if f¢(x1)
is defined at x = x1 then f(x)
is continuous at x = x1.
- If f(x) and g(x) are
differentiable at x = x1, and c
is a real number, then c·f(x), f(x)+g(x),
f(x)-g(x),
f(x)·g(x) are also
differentiable (and hence continuous) at x = x1.
- If f(x) and g(x) are
differentiable at x = x1, and g(x1)
¹ 0, then [1/(g(x))]
and [(f(x))/(g(x))], f(x)·g(x)
are also differentiable (and hence continuous) at x
= x1.
- If f(x) and g(x) are
continuous at x = x1, and c
is a real number, then c·f(x), f(x)+g(x),
f(x)-g(x),
f(x)·g(x) are also
continuous) at x = x1.
- If f(x) and g(x) are
continuous at x = x1, and g(x1)
¹ 0, then [1/(g(x))]
and [(f(x))/(g(x))], f(x)·g(x)
are also continuous at x = x1.
The assertions in this theorem are consequences of the
previous theorem on the algebraic properties of limits. This
theorem indicates how arithmetic operations on continuous or
differentiable functions respectively yield further
continuous or further differentiable functions. First
books on calculus often contain a section or two explaining
why the assertions in this theorem hold. So the proofs
are omitted. The aim of this work is to complement other
texts. | |
