Answer

The conditions are detailed in the Work step-by-step.

Work Step by Step

Take the function $y=f(x)$. 1) For an interior point $x=c$ in the interval: $f$ is continuous at $x=c$ if three following conditions are satisfied: - $f(c)$ exists ($c$ lies in the domain of $f$) - $\lim_{x\to c}f(x)$ exists - $\lim_{x\to c}f(x)=f(c)$ 2) For endpoints $x=c$: $f$ is continuous at $x=c$ if three following conditions are satisfied: - $f(c)$ exists ($c$ lies in the domain of $f$) - $\lim_{x\to c^+}f(x)$ exists (if $x=c$ is the left endpoint) or $\lim_{x\to c^-}f(x)$ exists (if $x=c$ is the right endpoint) - $\lim_{x\to c^+}f(x)=f(c)$ (if $x=c$ is the left endpoint) or $\lim_{x\to c^-}f(x)=f(c)$ (if $x=c$ is the right endpoint)
