Key Concepts

One-Sided Limits

One-sided limits are used to evaluate the behavior of a piecewise function as it approaches a boundary from one side or the other. In the context of continuity, the left-hand limit (approaching from values less than the boundary) and the right-hand limit (approaching from values greater than the boundary) must be equal for the function to be continuous at that boundary.

Continuity

Continuity at a point means that the function does not have any abrupt changes, breaks, or jumps at that point. For a function to be continuous at a boundary of two pieces, the limit from the left must equal the limit from the right and also equal the function's value at that point.

Piecewise Functions

A piecewise function is defined by different expressions on different parts of its domain. When dealing with piecewise functions, special attention must be given to the points where the function's definition changes, ensuring that the different expressions match up in value to maintain continuity.
