The rigorous analytical definition of continuity is as follows:If f(a) exists, and if lim f{x) = f(a), no matter in what way x x=a approaches its limit a, f(x) is defined to be continuous at a.

It can be shown that every case of discontinuity thus far men-tioned is covered by this definition. §§49-50 SOME GENERAL PROPERTIES OF FUNCTIONS 63 49. Discontinuities of f(x). A function may itself be con-tinuous within an interval and yet have a derivative which isdiscontinuous within that interval. Such are the functions whosegraphs are shown in the accompanying figures. In the first figurethe derivative is discontinuous at A, B, and C, because at each of.
