Work Step by Step

Right-continuous, left-continuous, and continuity are concepts related to the behavior of a function at a specific point. 1. Right-Continuous: - A function is right-continuous at a point if the limit of the function as the variable approaches that point from the right exists and is equal to the function value at that point. 2. Left-Continuous: - A function is left-continuous at a point if the limit of the function as the variable approaches that point from the left exists and is equal to the function value at that point. 3. Continuity: - A function is continuous at a point if it is both right-continuous and left-continuous at that point. In other words, the function has no jumps, breaks, or discontinuities at that specific point. Relationship between Continuity and One-Sided Continuity: - Continuity requires both right-continuity and left-continuity. A function is continuous at a point only if it behaves smoothly from both the right and the left at that point. - One-sided continuity refers to the behavior of a function approaching a point either from the right or the left. If a function is continuous at a point, it means that it is continuous from both the right and the left at that point.
