Is It Continuous? The 3-Step Test You Need to Know [Intro]

Ever wonder how to mathematically define drawing a line without lifting your pencil? In this video, we bridge the gap between Pre-Calculus function behavior and Calculus limits to define Continuity. We’ll move beyond the visual "pencil test" and use limits to create a precise, formal definition that allows us to rigorously classify discontinuities and analyze piecewise functions. You’ll learn: How to visually identify Removable (Point), Infinite, and Jump discontinuities. The Formal Definition of Continuity: A function f(x) is continuous at x=a only if three specific conditions are met. How to apply the definition to test Piecewise Functions for continuity. The concept of One-Sided Continuity (continuous from the right vs. the left). Properties of continuous functions: why polynomials, rationals, and trig functions behave predictably. This lesson is ideal for students in Grade 10–12 math courses including Pre-Calculus, Algebra II, Functions, or Advanced Functions, as well as those studying AP Precalculus, AP Calculus, IB Mathematics (AA SL/HL), IGCSE, or A-Level Math. This can also help those enrolled in post-secondary Calculus courses.
